HMAS "SWAN"
Description
H.M.A.S "Swan" could put up a pretty effective anti-aircraft fire and did so during the first and heavy raid on Darwin. She was damaged during that raid by a near miss which burst alongside, to starboard. The bomb fragments punctured the plating on the hull and patches covering these can be seen.
