HMAS Sirius departs HMAS Stirling's Diamantina Wharf
16 February 2007
The Royal Australian Navy's afloat support capability is provided by the underway replenishment ships HMAS Sirius and HMAS Success. The Afloat Support Force provides operational support for the rest of the fleet by providing fuel, stores and ammunition, thus significantly extending the RAN's operational reach and endurance at sea. It can also provide limited support to deployed Army and Air Force units.
HMAS Sirius was built as a double-hulled commercial product tanker, MV Delos and purchased by the Commonwealth Government on 3 June 2004. Named Sirius, the ship underwent modification for underway replenishment. In addition, a flight deck was fitted for helicopter operations.
