HMAS Castlemaine: the Corvette that Came Home

Fifty-six Australian corvettes went to war in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945, and this is the complete story of the only one that is still afloat. The book describes the ship's wartime history and heritage restoration, and is lavishly illustrated with photographs, maps and diagrams, plus crew lists, armaments, equipment and corvette history: discover the amazing journey of HMAS Castlemaine.

This fine publication is an accompaniment to the ship that survives with us today and provides a genuine insight to what it was like on board a World War Two vessel during those critical years. A highly recommended read and handy reference.’ Naval Historical Society of Australia, Dec 2021
