I love references to the goings on at Garden Island having spent 27 years working there. One of my charges was the collimation tower at the southern end of the dock.
I remember the USS Missouri visit I had a special pass to it. It needed some minor electronics repaired. I retired a couple of years after ADI took over.
Worked on HMAS Melbourne during the 1960-70's refits and got asbestos dust exposure that has now progressed to mesothelioma.
