Love the luxurious accommodation for sailors, not like the old days !!!

Having served onboard HMA Ships Stalwart and Stuart in the late 80s-early 90s, this looks like a luxury liner! Stuart was a fantastic ship though!

Just wondering why the new patrol boats are prefixed ADV instead of HMAS?

[@nivekneyugn711]

It's because they aren't commissioned, just operated by the navy.

[@GrantQuinn1]

@@nivekneyugn711 Thanks, so follow up question, why aren’t they commissioned like previous patrol boats?

[@nivekneyugn711]

@@GrantQuinn1 I think because they were only meant to be an interim solution until the Arafura class OPV gets online.

As an ex cook ( fitter and turner) I can’t see how you can work comfortably wearing camo in the kitchen. Wearing whites worked ok for what 70/80 years.

So no 25mm on this boat like the Armidales had?

[@montys420-]

Exactly, pretty shit hey

[@interestedobserver587]

So the XO doesn't salute crossing the brow, crew dont brace up, and prepubescent beards are the norm?

[@GLENC0C0]

who hurt you?

[@NoName-ds5uq]

It’s a patrolly, they all should be in pirate rig!

It is not a ship it is a biat .
