English: At Anchor. "Battle" Class Destroyer HMAS Anzac, showing her pennant number D59 and also carrying the number 10 on her funnel denoting that her captain also holds the appointment Commander, 10th Destroyer Flotilla (Commander D10). During her commissioned service, Anzac completed two tours of duty with the United Nations forces in Korea carrying out bombardment and blockade missions. During the royal visit to Australia in February 1954, Anzac was chosen as one of the ocean escorts for the liner Gothic, carrying the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, and conveyed the royal couple on some stages of their visit to the Barrier Reef area. During 1954 and 1955, Anzac was engaged in cruises and exercises in Australian and New Guinea waters as well as participtaing in Commonwealth fleet exercises in South-East Area. In 1955 and again in 1957, Anzac saw service with the Commonwealth Strategic Reserve. After HMAS Swan was paid-off in September 1962, Anzac assumed the role of fleet training ship as a consequence of which her B turret was hoisted out and a special classroom was built on B deck in 1965. In the succeeding years, Anzac steamed many more thousands of miles on training cruises and fleet exercises before being paid-off when HMAS Duchess re-entered service as a training ship in 1974.
