Was just reading the other site. Did you know Australia used to have a Aircraft Carrier? Not only did we have one, it was extremely effective with 2 allied vessel kills to its name. Thats right. Allied vessels. HMAS Melbourne over the years took out both Aussie HMAS Voyager and the American USS Frank E. Evans. People died and that part honestly isnt funny. But if I had a dollar for every time the Melbourne sunk an allied vessel I'd have 2 dollars, which isn't a lot but its strange it happened twice!
