FULL SHOW: Step Outside with Paul Burt, February 21st, 2026

On February 10, 1964, tragedy struck the Royal Australian Navy when HMAS Voyager collided with the aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne during night exercises off Jervis Bay. It was a moonless night. Just before 9pm, the two ships collided - Voyager was cut in two and her forward section sank quickly, the stern following hours later.

Of the 314 men on board, 82 lost their lives — 14 officers, 67 sailors and one civilian dock worker. It remains one of the most significant peacetime naval disasters in Australian history….

Sixty years on, we pause to remember those who served, those who were lost, and the families whose lives were forever changed. Their sacrifice is part of our nation’s naval story — and it is never forgotten. Jayne Keogh from the Queensland Naval Association joins Burty to reflect.
