Jack of Harts

I served on the HMAS Melbourne when her squadron joined The Fleet.  Ten years into The War we were making a major push against the Chinese, and the Australians wanted in on it.  I learned that all Australian sailors spend six months training on wet navy ships in the Pacific Ocean, patrolling the borders with China.  They live and breathe the border.  They know why they fight Comrade Wang.  I think I learned more from them than they from me on that cruise.
