About us
The Royal Australian Navy is a modern military organisation operating advanced vessels and aircraft with personnel expertly trained to defend Australia and its interests, and perform a variety of maritime duties. The Navy also engages in a variety of peacetime activities such as search & rescue and humanitarian assistance. In accurately representing Australia's multi-cultural society, Navy men and women are drawn from a diverse range of social and ethnic backgrounds. From engineering to medicine, and public relations to chaplaincy, the Navy offers many fulfilling positions. Depending on their role, Navy officers and sailors can be posted to any one of 16 naval bases and command offices across Australia, home to more than 18,000 sailors and officers, though much of their time will be spent serving at sea. The Navy is equipped with a formidable fleet of ships and helicopters, featuring sophisticated technology that supports a variety of strategic needs. The Royal Australian Navy was the first of the Australian Defence services to be founded more than a century ago, born of the ships and resources of the separate colonial navies.

Alongside United States Ambassador to Australia, Ambassador Caroline Kennedy, Chief of Navy Vice Admiral Mark Hammond AO, RAN, was honoured to acknowledge the role #AusNavy played in discovering the wreck of US Navy USS Edsall, a warship that holds a special place in our shared naval histories. The USS Edsall served valiantly during World War II, most notably in the early Pacific campaigns protecting Australia alongside #AusNavy warships, and played a role in sinking the Japanese submarine I-124 off Darwin. We honour the brave sailors of USS Edsall and their families. Lest We Forget.

We are committed to learning from the experience of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veterans Suicide. On this World Mental Health Day, we remind ourselves that it's okay not to be okay, and that there is help available. Royal Australian Navy personnel, current and former, should familiarise themselves with the resources available to help maintain their mental health and the health of their mates: https://lnkd.in/g6TTQfkx
