A lovely sea worthy ship in almost all respects. Its a shame about the screwup with the aux berth, I cannot believe a fix has not yet been devised for that - Austral should be taken to task for that big time. The photo showing Armidale next to a Freemantle and Attack class patrol ships really gives one a perspective on the 3 latest generations of patrol craft and how they have grown over time.
You can see at 0.59 the difference between the 3 generations of RAN Patrol Boats. The Armidale's are like an aircraft carrier or super-tanker in comparison

You can keep up-to-date with the latest developments from Austal (the builder of this ship) on Facebook. Just search the Pages for Austal

For anyone who is thinking of joining the RAN, trust me, these are the boats to serve on. They're brand new, comfortable and 'sexy'

Are these like the Customs boarding vessels???
Also have you had much to do with Customs as well (boarding party wise???)

@TCFan25 the ACPB does indeed draw many of its features from the Customs vessels; their made by the same company.
