Scrap Iron Flotilla
The Scrap Iron Flotilla was an Australian destroyer group that operated in the Mediterranean and Pacific during World War II.
The story of the ships in the flotilla, up to 1943, was recounted in the book Scrap-Iron Flotilla by John F. Moyes, who served as a Sub-Lieutenant RANVR on HMAS Voyager later in the war, and collected many stories from the crews.
It is available via the Royal Australian Navy's RAN Media YouTube channel, along with notes on the composition, in a posting entitled Scrap Iron Flotilla Theme from 29 March 2010.
The opening bars of the march were influenced by the theme music of the 1970s BBC television series Warship.
