Was reading about the Wessex helicopter and came across this page on an Australian aircraft carrier. The only commonwealth ship to sink two friendly ships!

it's a bit unfair to be honest in both cases the escort ship started the manoeuvre that eventually caused the collisions

you wouldn't want to be captain of her and buy a lottery ticket though

I remember seeing aircraft off HMAS Melbourne at the 1977 Greenham Common Air Tattoo.
