This class is now out of service in Australia, replaced with the Collins class. Onslow is on display at the Maritime Museum, next to a retired destroyer from the guns era. Here's a link if you are interested. http://www.anmm.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=163 My background is aircraft, in fact one year with a maritime patrol squadron. I was absolutely horrified with the interior accommodations when I toured through this vessel. I have no idea how anyone manages to function let alone live in such cramped conditions. Thanks for looking at the pics.
