The Royal Australian Navy first became involved in naval aviation during World War 1 when aircraft were operated from the gun turret-launching platforms of RAN cruisers operating with the Royal Navy.

Today it operates helicopters from a number of ships and the shore base of HMAS Albatross at Nowra, NSW.
