The memorial is a tri-panelled plinth, displaying plaques and insignia recognising the Royal Australian Navy personnel who were killed or wounded in the Asia-Pacific area during the Second World War 1939–1945. It is positioned on a tiled base, with brass plaque inserted at the top of the centre panel and a black symbolic anchor attached below.
