Many hundreds of ships have had the distinction of bearing the prefix HMAS, but only one has had the distiction of being launched with the words: First born of a Navy
This story of the gallant light cruiser HMAS Perth could not have been written without the entusiastic assistance of many people in Australia and abroad and to them the author expresses his sincere appreciation.
HMAS Canberra served continuously as the Flagship of the Royal Australian Navy from 1931 to 1940. During the depression years HMAS Canberra and her sistership HMAS Australia formed the backbone of the Navy and were the only modern cruisers in the Squadron until the commission of HMAS Sydney in 1935.
The original title suggested for this book was HMA Vs and Ws because the ships were known as the Vs and Ws in the RAN during their period of service.
The stately four funnel light cruisers of the Royal Australian Navy are now memories remebered mainly by a small band of old men who served in them when the Australian Navy was young and untried.
