                  Australian Navy Celebrates 100th Anniversary

   by VOA News

   Warships from 17 nations, including the United States and China, have
   arrived in Sydney Harbor to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the
   establishment of Australia's navy.
   Thousands of people lined the harbor shores on Friday to watch the
   warships sail into Australia's largest city.
   Seven Australian vessels also entered the harbor in single file to
   recall October 4, 1913, when the country's first seven warships steamed
   into the harbor and officially made Australia an independent sea power.
   Until then, Australia had been protected by British vessels.
