The Melbourne and Bonaventure were both not replaced, and coincidently were not used in combat.

Using the Melbourne is pretty easy, a Vietnam cruise could have happened, and possibly even a detterence cruise for the Indo invasion of East Timor in 1975. Was there a situation where Bonny could have been used in combat before her decommissioning? Would that have kept here in service longer and led to her replacement? Would Melbourne have been replaced with a war cruise under her belt?
