Not only did the Melbourne run over Voyager (and you're right, Foolestroupe; they're still seeking compensation), a few years later the Melbourne ran over the USS Evans in similar circumstances off Vietnam.
I noticed, while watching today's ANZAC Day march (Sydney version), there was a group marching under the banner "Melbourne Survivors"; they were from the Melbourne itself.
