''For a full list of aircraft present, see List of aircraft present at International Fleet Review 2013'' ''For a full list of ships present, see List of ships present at International Fleet Review 2013'' The International Fleet Review 2013 was a review that took place on the week 3 to 11 October 2013, as part of the celebrations to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the entry of the first Royal Australian Navy fleet in Sydney Harbour, on 4 October 1913. == Background == In 2011 the RAN invited over 50 nations to send a ship to participate in a fleet review to commemorate the centenary of the first entry in Sydney of the Australian Fleet. This event was considered a milestone in Australia’s maturity as a nation.〔(RAN-IFR website - About IFR 2013 )〕 The event was planned in partnership with the New South Wales and the City of Sydney governments. The IFR was expected to have similar scale and public impact to that experienced during previous reviews held in Sydney, as the RAN 75th Anniversary (1986) and the Bicentennial Naval Salute (1988).〔(RAN-IFR website - About IFR 2013 )〕 It was also confirmed that Prince Harry would attend the IFR as part of his first official visit to Australia.〔(IFR website - News - Attendance of Prince Harry )〕 Some 40 warships and 16 tall ships were expected to participate in the review, of which a line of seven RAN ships symbolised the 1913 entry itself. The ships were greeted by the Governor-General of Australia, Quentin Bryce, from Bradleys Head on 4 October. She and Prince Harry officially reviewed the fleet on 5 October as part of the Ceremonial Fleet Review.〔(RAN-IFR website - About IFR 2013 )〕 The tall ships departed on 10 October, and the warships did so on 11 October to take part in the naval exercise ''Triton Centenary''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Fleet Review 2013」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
