NEW NAVY WARSHIP COMMISSIONED FOR OPERATIONS
10 October 2005
The seventh ANZAC Class Frigate, HMAS Toowoomba,
is the latest Australian warship to join the
Royal Australian Navy’s operational Fleet following
a traditional commissioning ceremony in Brisbane
today.
Defence Minister Robert Hill said HMAS Toowoomba
is one of eight state of the art warships built
for Australia under the Howard Government’s
$7 billion ANZAC Ship project.
Senator Hill said the HMAS Toowoomba is now
fully operational and capable of defending Australian
waters and being deployed on overseas operations,
such as the fight against terrorism. It will
commence operations in December and be home-ported
in Perth later this month.
