'''The British navy first arrived in Australia as a part of the first fleet. The first regular warship was stationed at Sydney in 1821, and the navy continued to be in Australia from that point on.

In 1901 the Australian government took over jurisdiction of the navy. '''<br> | '''The British navy first arrived in Australia as a part of the first fleet.
