Ordinary Seaman Edward 'Teddy' Sheean was killed during the attack by Japanese aircraft which sank the Bathurst Class corvette HMAS Armidale in the Arafura Sea on 1 December 1942. After the order to "abandon ship", Sheean, although twice wounded, stayed at his post at the aft Oerlikon gun, bringing down an enemy bomber. He was still firing when the ship sank.

In May 1999 Sheean was honoured by the RAN when Collins Class Submarine No. 5 was named HMAS Sheean. This is the first occasion on which a RAN vessel has been named after an ordinary seaman.

The Korean Badge was commissioned in 2009 to acknowledge the service and sacrifice of all who fought in the Korean War.
