#19 HMAS Melbourne - Done

Hmmm. I personally prefer the wordier version.

Need a definiate course

SAs circumvent the rulebook and have the potential to cause confusion. I stylistically prefer the longer version.

Seabasing is optional. You can carrier base them if desired

You points are more more personal than relevant.

I suggest you check the wording and the clarification document in the goldmine wagon

Ive indicated a personal preference and simply await more feedback

In 1944 the Australian war cabinet adopted a proposal to assist the Royal Navy with its manpower shortages by providing intake to the RAN sufficent to crew a light carrier of the Colossus class and its aircraft. Along with a number of escorts.
The changing fortunes of war meant that a transfer of ships couldn't be agreed with the UK government. Australia would later aquire two Majestic class carriers in the late 40s.
