HMAS Arunta (FFH 151) is an Anzac-class frigate of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The ship, named for the Arrernte people, was laid down in 1995 and commissioned in 1998. Since entering service, Arunta has performed a wide range of duties, including border protection patrols in northern Australian waters, and several deployments to the Persian Gulf.
A modified Pacific Class Patrol Boat, MV Mercator is used by the Royal Australian Navy for navigation training. Based at HMAS Waterhen on Sydney Harbour, she provides training to officers and sailors from the RAN and other navies in coastal navigation, ship handling and watch keeping procedures. She is also utilised to assist Major Fleet Units (MFU) with boarding party training.
Capable of being deployed from the Royal Australian Navy’s Adelaide-class LHDs, the LHS Landing craft (LLC) are equipped with radar navigation, GPS, gyro needle/magnetic and HF communications equipment, VHF and UHF. This enables them to operated over the horizon (greater than 37km) from the shore.
The LLCs are able to transfer men and equipment ashore from the LHDs, including the Australian Army’s M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks.
