I paid her off in January as part of the decom crew. We used to call her No Fun 01 but really she was a great ship and my home. There is no way I could watch her sink but in a few years I might come for a visit and go for a dive.
Hi Bob I was there too on Monday when the Adelaide visited Terrigal. What a great sight she was sitting there. Ive dived wrecks in Truk, PNG, Solomons, Vanauta and I'm really looking forward to diving on the Adelaide when she finally comes to rest at Terrigal. Seeing her the other day in a fully operational state will long remain in my memory when IO dive her. she is a beautiful ship. Thanks for the video.
I was there on Avoca's foreshore-has anyone seen my video of it??

I thought Australian navy OHP fleet were recently upgraded which gave them another 10-15 years of life?

Apparently upgrade work is still ongoing with the remainder of vessels in this class.
To my limited knowledge- the Canberra and Adelaide were not deemed worthwhile of refit and subsequently scrapped.

Spent a couple of years on Adelaide and was still on there in this video. Great crew on there and i look back now knowing it was a great ship.

I remember my time on her fondly. (89-91). Great mates and good times. Was a RP/CSO. R.I.P. Adelaide.
