SAILORS on a frigate and submarine based at HMAS Stirling will be able to more easily identify their laundry or personal items after students from the Comet Bay College made them some Hero Bags.
Students from the school’s year and 11 and 12 creative class made 21 bags as part of their home economics curriculum supervised by Julie Coyle and presented them to sailors on HMAS Stuart and HMAS Dechaineux.
Defence transition mentor Claire Hunt said the college was keen to acknowledge and honour the service made by all Australian Defence Force members, especially while they were away from their families.

The bags are used as laundry bags for easy identification of dirty clothes on the ships and submarines or to store their personal items on board.
