 Silver Jubilee visitor HMAS BRISBANE tied up on museum ship HMS BELFAST in the River Thames. 1977.

HMAS BRISBANE, the 3,370-4,500 ton American- designed and built RAN missile destroyer, looks comfortable beside the famous 11,553 ton Town Class cruiser HMS BELFAST of WWII and the Korean War era, now a preserved warship maintained by the Imperial War Museum in the Thames.

HMAS BRISBANE and the RNZN frigate HMNZS CANTERBURY had escorted the carrier HMAS MELBOURNE  to Britain for the Queen's Silver Jubileee Naval Review, which took place at Spithead in the week beginning June 28 that year.
