Description
HMAS Australia Battlecruiser
HMAS Australia was an Indefatigable-class battlecruiser that became the flagship of the Royal Australian Navy. Her arrival symbolized the new Australian fleet’s strength, and she participated in operations against German positions and forces during the First World War before service with the British Grand Fleet. Postwar naval treaty arrangements led to her scuttling. She is distinct from the later County-class cruiser HMAS Australia, which served through a very different Second World War career.
As the flagship of the new Royal Australian Navy, Australia embodied imperial naval cooperation and Australian maritime independence. Wartime patrol and deterrent duties were followed by disposal under postwar treaty restrictions, ending the country’s battlecruiser era.
