HMAS Melbourne: A Maritime History Revived (1943-1955) This striking head-on image captures the majestic presence of HMAS Melbourne, an Australian aircraft carrier with a rich and intriguing history. Originally laid down as HMS Majestic in 1943, the ship's construction was frozen at the end of World War II. The vessel, designed as a transport ship, was later taken over by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) in 1949. With the resumption of construction, the ship was transformed into an aircraft carrier and commissioned into the RAN in 1955. In its early years, HMAS Melbourne served as a vital component of the British Pacific Fleet during the latter stages of World War II. However, its true potential was realized when it was converted into an aircraft carrier, capable of deploying and recovering aircraft at sea. This transformation marked the beginning of a new era for the Australian Navy, enhancing its defensive capabilities and projecting power in the region. The photograph, taken in 1943, depicts HMAS Melbourne in its early stages as HMS Majestic. The image captures the ship's imposing size and the intricate details of its design, showcasing the engineering prowess of the time. Despite the challenges of the war and the subsequent pause in construction, the ship's eventual commissioning in 1955 represented a significant milestone in Australia's maritime history. This image serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Australian Navy, as well as the enduring legacy of HMAS Melbourne. The ship's history is a reminder of the pivotal role that maritime power plays in shaping the strategic landscape of the Asia-Pacific region.
