Support functions: Support functions: HMS Nabstock was a Royal Navy (RN), Mobile Operational Naval Air Base (MONAB) which was initially located at the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) airfield RAAF Maryborough situated in Maryborough, Queensland.

However, similar to the experiences of the five preceding units, MONAB VI discovered that this duration was inadequate for achieving successful formation and operational readiness.

Upon arrival, the personnel disembarked at Warwick Farm Racecourse, which was part of the RN Barracks in Sydney, HMS Golden Hind, where they awaited the assignment of an operational base.

MONAB VI was officially commissioned as HMS Nabstock, Royal Naval Air Station Maryborough (RNAS Maryborough), on 1 June 1945, during a ceremony graced by the presence of Rear Admiral Sir Reginald Henry Portal, KCB, DSC, RN, the Flag Officer, Naval Air Pacific (FONAP).

[9] Meanwhile, personnel from 1834 and 1836 Naval Air Squadrons departed on the 25 to re-embark on HMS Victorious for their journey back to the UK, where they were scheduled to disband upon arrival.

[6] Additionally, October marked the relocation of 706 Naval Air Squadron, which transferred to HMS Nabbington on the 24, with its operational capacity diminished to two aircraft of each type in service with the British Pacific Fleet.

[14] Additionally, on New Year’s Eve, the aircraft carrier facilitated the deployment of the 820 Naval Air Squadron, equipped with Grumman Avenger, ashore.

This included on 1 January, 723 Naval Air Squadron, consisting of Miles Martinet and Vought Corsair aircraft, followed by 706 Naval Air Squadron, equipped with Grumman Avenger, Fairey Barracuda, Vought Corsair, Fairey Firefly, Grumman Hellcat, and Supermarine Seafire aircraft, on 18.

[17] At the beginning of April 1946, HMS Nabstock was the sole remaining Mobile Naval Air Base (MONAB) operational in Australia.

The entirety of April and May was dedicated to dismantling the MONAB equipment and supplies, as well as preparing the airfield for its transfer back to the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
