      abstract = {This book examines Anglo-Australian naval relations  between 1945-75, a period of great change for both  Australia and Great Britain and their respective navies. It  explores the cultural and historical ties between the Royal  Navy and the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the efficacy of  communications between the services, and the importance of  personal relations to the overall inter-service  relationship. The author assesses the dilemmas faced by  Great Britain associated with that nation’s declining  power, and the impact of the retreat from ‘East of Suez’ on  the strategic relationship between the United Kingdom and  Australia. The book also considers operational co-operation  between the Royal Navy and the RAN including conflicts such  as the Korean War, the Malayan Emergency, and confrontation  with Indonesia, as well as peacetime pursuits such as port  visits and the testing of atomic weapons in the 1950s.  Co-operation in matters of personnel and training are also  dealt with in great detail, along with the co-operation  between the Royal Navy and the RAN in equipment procurement  and design and the increased ability of the RAN to look to  non-British sources for equipment procurement. The book  considers the impact of stronger Australian-American ties  on the RAN and appraises the role it played in the conflict  in Vietnam.},
