Your On-line Store !
On the 3rd of Nov., 2003, Rick Pengilly and Ned Kelly, two members of the 13th MOBI Intake realised a long held
                vision to create a unique website, with an on-line forum for ALL ex-Naval Artificer Apprentices, (MOBI's/ Muppets, Phasies)
            Mechanicians, Direct Entry Tradespeople, etc., along with all the Support Staff, Instructors, Officers, Ship's Company and
               'Friends', in fact its where anyone who ever 'did time' at HMAS Nirimba, better known to us as R.A.N.A.T.E. , from its creation in
                 1956, until its demise following the graduation of the last intake, in November 1993, could gather to renew old acquaintances,
                  create new ones, swap 'warries', reminisce, plan reunions, keep informed and generally enjoy the comradeship and sense of
                            community that was truly unique amongst the skilled hands of the ROYAL AUSTRALIAN NAVY

                Since the very successful launch of the RAN Skilled Hands forum/ website, (which we funded out of our own pockets,) we have
                  resisted gracious offers of financial support from Members for our investment, and have felt that charging a Membership Fee
                    was not a desirable path to take, preferring instead to VALUE-ADD to our FREE Membership, by providing a vehicle
                whereby Members could offer their support towards defraying the costs of the creation and maintenance of RAN Skilled Hands
                          through the purchase of items of specific interest, which they would gain some real benefit in owning.

          We are pleased to bring you our on-line e-Shop RAN Skilled Hands NAVY Blue, offering a wide range of highly desirable
                Officially Branded RAN and NAVY products, now available, our own range of RAN Skilled Hands HMAS Nirimba and
           R.A.N.A.T.E. branded items of memorabilia and collectables. We now have a range of interesting General Merchandise, for your perusal.
