The Melbourne has an illustrious history, that I will outline to the best of my ability here. Currently, you are visiting the Third Melbourne to travel the galaxy, embarking upon Scientific, and combat missions.

Captain Scott was an exemplarily Commanding Officer, and managed his starship with completely perfect articulation.
