I am currently working on the impact in the Australian colonies of the Colonial Naval Defence Act 1865. Under the Act a colony had to obtain Imperial approval (in the form of an order-in-council) of a colony's acquisition of a vessel of war. I have located orders-in-council in respect of three Victorian ships and one Queensland ship. I want to check for others. I would like to locate a list of all orders-in-council made in respect of Australian warships, both before and after Federation.
