The
Australian frigate HMAS was laid down by Todd Pacific
Shipyard in Seattle in July 1977, and was launched in June
the year after. She was commissioned in November 1980, and
earned herself two Battle Honors during her career. She
did service in both the Middle East and Afghanistan,
before she was decommissioned in 2008 to finance new ships
in the Navy. She was rigged down and scuttled 13. April
2011 as a dive attraction outside Avoca Beach. The wreck
rest today on a depth of 22 to 30 meter, about one
nautical mile outside Avoca Beach.
