{"product_id":"cruel-legacy-the-hmas-voyager-tragedy","title":"Cruel Legacy - The HMAS Voyager Tragedy","description":"During naval exercises off the coast at Jervis Bay, the destroyer HMAS Voyager inexplicably turned towards the RAN Flagship, HMAS Melbourne, and steamed under the mighty carrier's bow. The impact cut Voyager in two and 82 of her complement lost their lives in Australia's worst peacetime naval disaster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy did this happen and who was to blame?\u003cbr\u003eForty years on, survivors of the collision are still fighting for compensation. Australia's leading naval historian, Tom Frame, revisits the two Royal commissions into the disaster and why they failed to find the truth. He draws on extensive interviews with participants and the survivors to offer his own conclusions on what actually happened that night, and its enduring legacy for the RAN.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor : Tom Frame\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback : 235 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSKU: P1999","brand":"Boat books Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52956087222636,"sku":"P1999","price":36.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/1920\/5996\/files\/Cruel-Legacy-Tom-Frame.jpg?v=1764757910","url":"https:\/\/www.boatbooks-aust.com.au\/products\/cruel-legacy-the-hmas-voyager-tragedy","provider":"Boat books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
