HMAS Albatross was a seaplane tender of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Albatross was built by Cockatoo Island Dockyard during the mid-1920s and entered service at the start of 1929. Albatross was demoted from seagoing status in 1933. After five years in reserve, Albatross was transferred to the Royal Navy to offset the Australian purchase of the light cruiser Hobart https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/hmas-albatross-1928-seaplane-carrier/ #HMASAlbatross #seaplanecarrier #RAN #RoyalAustralianNavy #NavalHistory
