  1. After the war the Australians built their own Daring class destroyers and named them Vendetta, Vampire and Voyager. Another vessel was named Stuart and a shore installation was named Waterhen. So the names of those ships were carried on.

  2.  @nurgle11  To be fair, the United States is a fairly insular country they don't have the tradition of travelling all over the world in their youth like Australians do. So you can't expect an American to be used to understanding even the accents of other English speaking countries. In Europe, the Australians usally cope fairly well without help but the Americans tend to have difficulty. So don't be too hard on "Seppoes" as Australians call them, dealing with unusuual accents is not something they are used to.

  3. 25th of April is Liberation Day on South Georgia. It's a public holiday for the few dozen people that live there. ... But it is also ANZAC day in Aust & NZ.
