Hardcover. Laminated boards. Condition: Near Fine. AUSTRALIAN MILITARY R.A.N. NavyFirst Edition. Limited Edition (#360 / 1,000) xx, 315 p. : ill., maps, ports. ; 26 cm. #230424 HMS Shropshire� (later HMAS Shropshire) was a Royal Navy (RN) heavy cruiser of the London sub-class of County class cruisers. She is the only ship to have been named after Shropshire, England.Completed in 1929, Shropshire served with the RN until 1942, when she was transferred to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) following the loss of sister ship HMAS Canberra. Commissioned as HMAS Shropshire, the ship remained in RAN service until 1949, and was sold for scrap in 1954.Following the loss of the Australian heavy cruiser HMAS Canberra, another County class cruiser, during the Battle of Savo Island on 9 August 1942 the British Government approved the transfer of Shropshire to Australia as a replacement. She was recalled from the South Atlantic and paid off at His Majesty�s Dockyard Chatham in December 1942, to refit for Australian service.She was commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy on 20 April 1943 at HM Dockyard Chatham as HMAS Shropshire. She might have been renamed HMAS Canberra but for the fact that the United States had renamed one of their ships as the USS Canberra in tribute.She subsequently saw action during the Battle of Surigao Strait and the Battle of Lingayen Gulf. Shropshire was present at Tokyo Bay on 2 September 1945 for the signing of the Japanese Instrument of Surrender. "This book is dedicated to the history of the 'Lucky Ship' HMAS Shropshire (our heavy cruiser) to all members of the Ship's Company who served in her from the days of refitting in the Chatham dockyards to being placed in permanent reserve in Sydney in 1947 until she was scrapped in 1955" Shropshire (Ship) World War, 1939-1945 -- Naval operations, Australian Cruisers (Warships) -- Australia -- History -- 20th century (Some light discolouration spot to top edge.)
