I'm honestly impressed by the quality of these videos. Haven't seen a bad 'Naval Legends' and probably never will. Thanks for for the high quality content!

Finally someone showed off this, I had a grandfather who served on the HMAS Uralba, when he passed away in 2015 he was scattered over the wreck (scuttled in 1971 for a reef) as he loved serving on that ship

Been onboard her a few times. If I remember correctly, the engines are electrically powered now to turn over so they can demonstrate to the visiting public what it was like for the engines to be working. The volunteers are a good bunch of people who take great care of her. Well done, a nice video. Hopefully the first ship in a Commonwealth tech tree or at least a premium ship to join HMAS Vampire (not HMS as is on the Vampire's life rings).

Very well maintained vessel. The ship looks as if it's just waiting for the engineering crew to come light the boilers so they can get under way.

Hope this will start the Australian tech tree line for World of Warships

Great documentary. Grandfather served on the Bathurst Class, HMAS Launceston, this was helpful in putting a face (ship) to what he experienced.

[pozgaming]

I've always loved the Bathurst-class corvettes. Someday, I'm gonna go see her in person.

Finally! I love these videos! Yall do such an amazing job on every aspect of covering the history an the crew of the ship.

[gooseliver]

I'm actually from Castlemaine and I never knew that we had a corvette named after our land locked town. Good to know, that we have a ship named after us.

[roflcopterkklol]

The fact that people need subtitles for oldmate is beautiful.

[bobjackson]

This is a very high quality and informative video. Really enjoyed it. As a former power station worker I had great sympathy for what the crew must have suffered. In the power station we also listened for changes in noise levels, and flickers on the lights. After leaving it took years for the adrenaline response to stop.

[lestabithasadventures]

Well done, it is amazing how important these little ships were!

[tyronedlisle]

Im an Aussie. Love episodes about my country

[brentclanton]

Very nice presentation--wow, that engine room is beautiful! Well done, mates!

[gabewj]

My great grandfather was a stoker on this ship. I’ve seen it in person. Very well maintained and beautiful ship.

[calinvaida]

As always the naval legends are amazing pieces of history. Many thanks

[pshehan]

I live in Melbourne and have visited the Castlemaine at Williamstown, but that was many years ago. Knowing more about the ship from this video I think i will visit again.

Naval Legends FTW you have me as a paying customer as long as these are being made!

I was part of the crew when she was towed by HMAS Ardent around to the museum in 1974 when I was at the Gunnery & Seamanship School at HMAS Cerberus
