This week it was great to walk the deck plates & visit #OurNavy across the fleet.
The clear lower decks were a great opportunity to engage with, to listen to & to learn from the experiences of #OurPeople. I continue to be inspired by the work of our sailors & officers.

BZ to our #AusNavy Sailor of the Year winners.
Both myself and @WON_Australia enjoyed listening to your perspectives and experiences, which will shape the future of #OurNavy.
Sailors make up more than 70% of our Navy, and are essential to execute Navy’s mission.
