HMAS Melbourne conducting damage control drills off Thistle Island, Spencer Gulf, SA, 3 March 1960

The drills gave the crew experience in managing the ship in a simulated damaged condition. Ballast tanks would be flooded alternatively to port or starboard, then steering exercises were done at different speeds to determine handling characteristics. The trials would last most of the day
