| While on operations in the South China Sea earlier this month HMAS Adelaide came to the assistance of the merchant ship MV Padova which had reported a fire in it’s main engine room. Apart from assisting onboard, a seriously injured crewman was transferred to Adelaide for medical attention and subsequently taken to Singapore General Hospital by a Singaporean Air Force SPUA PUMA helicopter. |
