Melbourne–Voyager collision

touchdowns on "Melbourne" stated that the new lights (which faced to port) were lighting up the cockpit in his plane. Captain Robertson asked a naval man to go forward and adjust the red light. After this was done, the red lights were facing in a starboard direction and being higher on the mast, overshot "Melbourne's" green navigation light. As "Voyager" was doing her fishtail to get into position to go astern of "Melbourne", the officer of the watch likely saw this red light and turned "Voyager" to port too early, leading to collision stations. The second Royal Commission felt that this, combined with the ill health of Stevens, was the more likely cause of the collision. Frame states that for this theory to be plausible, the entire bridge crew had to lose the tactical picture at the same time, which he considered to be too improbable. Ferry is also of the opinion that, unless

turn to early. Mr Murphy, representing the navy at the second enquiry rightly points out that this was an honest mistake. For the last 60 years the crews of both ships have been blamed unfairly for the tragedy. Looking at the overall picture, one has to acknowledge that those above Captain Robertson and Captain Stevens, in the Admiralty, who had planned the exercise in the first place, had failed to ensure the exercise was safe. "Melbourne's" lights should have been tested before any ship joined the "Melbourne". The treatment of the naval personnel at the first royal commission was described by John Jess, (MHR 1960-1972) as "The greatest injustice carried out in Australian service history."

afterwards. Due to Sir John Spicer's rejection of witness evidence, in 1967 Mr Samuels QC likened Spicer's 1964 report on the collision and royal commission as "a wrongful rejection of evidence leading to a miscarriage of justice." John Jess (MHR 1960-1972) who was one of the few Parliamentarians to speak out against the injustice of the royal commission described the handling of the enquiry and criticism of both crews as "a tragic situation." At the Censure Motion in 1964 in the Parliament he said, "at no time does it appear to me that an apology was ever made to the navy personnel for the treatment to which they have been subjected.
1015:, was announced by Menzies on 13 February 1964. This commission was directed primarily to investigate the immediate causes of the collision, and the circumstances which led up to it. Secondary considerations included the suitability of both ships for the exercise, and the rescue and treatment of survivors. These instructions were prepared without the consultation of the RAN. The high number of competing arguments slowed the investigation, and it was not until 25 June that the inquiry was ended and the report begun. The Spicer Report was released publicly on 26 August 1964. 1453:, after they made complaints about the discrepancies between what they were awarded and what was received: for example, one sailor only received $ 72,000 from a $ 412,000 settlement. All of the complaints were from cases handled by David Forster of Hollows Lawyers, who handled 89 of the 214 total cases; these resulted in a total settlement of $ 23 million. Investigations found major accounting issues, including apparent double-charging for work done, and charging full fees after they were discounted or completely written off. In 2010, 350:
Stevens was unfit to command for medical reasons. Consequently, it was argued the findings of the first Royal Commission were based on incorrect assumptions, and Robertson and his officers were not to blame for the collision. Despite this assertion the two crews continued to experience responsibility for the collision based on false assumptions made by John Spicer in the face of legitimate evidence at both royal commissions that the collision was a freak accident, the reason for which had not been determined.

Captain Robertson himself was adamant that Voyager appeared to be doing a legitimate manoeuvre by fishtailing to get into station, that the arrival of danger was sudden and irreversible, and that "Melbourne's" bridge crew did not see "Voyager's" port light till 20 seconds before the collision. 6529: 5124: 4346: 1474: 685: 1094:), drunkenness or a combination of the two, and that the description of the collision in Spicer's report and the conclusions drawn from it were inconsistent with events.

narrowed the cause of the collision down to the impact "Melbourne's" new flying lights had on "Voyager's" bridge crew. The cause of the collision had not been previously determined because the collision had not been investigated by experienced naval men at a board of enquiry. Prior to 2023, and in the immediate aftermath of the collision, five possible causes were put forward:

It was the only time in Australian history that two Royal Commissions have been held on the same incident, although it was emphasised that the second enquiry was to focus on Cabban's allegations, not the accident itself.

Recent investigations challenge this opinion by providing direct testimony of the three survivors from "Voyager's" bridge who gave evidence at the first royal commission.
