06 Jul 2011 Pride of the Nation - Exhibition
Centenary of the Royal Australian Navy 1911- 2011
When: 8 July - 27 November 2011
Where: Eastern Visitor Centre, Shrine of Remembrance, Melbourne.

In 2011 we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Royal Australian Navy. Drawing extensively from the Naval Heritage Collection this exhibition follows the formation and endurance of Australia’s oldest service over 100 years. Sometimes referred to as the ‘silent service’ the exhibition brings recognition to the notable achievements and sacrifices of those who have served at sea.
The RAN entered the First World War in its infancy. Through trial by fire it emerged as an efficient and effective sea-going navy and a professional fighting service. It has since developed into a vital tool for diplomacy and maritime security in addition to its
peacekeeping and disaster relief efforts.
