Fair use rationale for Image:RAN School Of Survivability And Ship Safety.gif

Image:RAN School Of Survivability And Ship Safety.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

What does HMAS mean?

If the page is called HMAS Creswell and HMAS is an acronym, what that acronym is should be spelled out. I was thinking Her Majesty's Australian Ship, but this isn't a ship; it is a "shore establishment." Her Majesty's Australian Shore establishment? Come on you Commonwealth-ers, help us out. 173.89.8.225 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:18, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes it is indeed "Her Majesty's Australian Ship". AFAIK British Commonwealth navies treat shore establishments like ships. Anotherclown (talk) 06:39, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Most shore bases in British Commonwealth navies are commissioned as ships of those navies, so HMA Ship is correct. See the article on stone frigates for more information on how this tradition started. -- saberwyn 11:58, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
