The text of the interpretative sign reads:

'This memorial walk commemorated the loss of twenty two commissioned Royal Australian Navy ships and submarines as a consequence of war since 4 October 1913 when the first RAN fleet entered Sydney Harbour. This walk was dedicated in 2014 by the Hon. Tony Abbott MP, Prime Minister of Australia and Member for Warringah.

'Three trees in this walk were planted on the same day the adjacent HMAS Sydney I mast was dedicated on 12 March 1964. Those trees were dedicated to HMA Ships Sydney II, Perth and Canberra lost in World War Two.

'This historic site also serves as a reminder of the sacrifice made by all Naval personnel lost of injured whilst serving in commissioned and non-commissioned ships, ashore and in the air, both in peace and war.'
