If you have any of your own insights to share, feel free to do so in the comments below the article. They are important but not the end all be all. For instance, I have had applicants submit their resume and their GPA is lower than preferred (less than a 3.0) and I still bring them in for an interview.
History of HMAS Perth. HMAS Perth was a modified Leander-class cruiser of the Royal Australian Navy. Commissioned as the cruiser Amphion at Portsmouth Naval Dockyard in England on 15 June, 1936, she began life in the service of the British Royal Navy.
Most of April was taken up by a refit followed by engine trials. On 5 May 1940, Perth escorted the troopship Queen Mary which was joining Convoy US 3, the third convoy of Australian troops going to the Middle East. After briefly escorting the convoy in company with HMAS Australia (II), Perth returned to Sydney.
