NAVY NOOK
The motto of the Australian Navy is “Not self but country.”
Navy Nook owes its name to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), a key player in the naval operations of World War I within the broader context of the British Empire. Originating as a relatively modest force when established in 1901, the outbreak of World War I in 1914 catalysed a rapid expansion of the RAN to meet the escalating demands of the conflict.
