HMAS Anzac III (1996-2024) 

Thank you, HMAS ANZAC. You done us proud. Sad that I won't see you around, but happy to know you will still be sailing out there.

She did us well.

Happy memories of her visit to Cork, Ireland back when the grey overalls were still the main uniform on deck about 20 years ago.. Lovely people aboard, proudly representing the RAN overseas. I believe it attended the Dawn ceremony the same year at Anzac Cove. Hopefully we'll see her successor back on this side of the world sometime soon.

The montage of her crew over the years seems very appropriate. Even this ignorant civilian understands the crew make the ship, and this video speaks very highly of both.

Even though I never served on you still very proud of you team and your journey. You are the last ship to fire in anger during Operations in the gulf and you did it well. Your watch is complete.

BZ, and thanks to all the crew who served on her.

Now, what is the RAN, crewed by Americans, doing to help their US Marine Colleagues in Melbourne?

Roll on ANZAC IV

I believe ANZAC should be name as future Hunter class frigate as her name has served her well across the world. I still got Navy magazine when commission n poster from newspaper showing internal cut aways of layout.

Outstanding 👍👍

I loved the orchestra. Who was that?

Well done guys.

Always liked the Navy, as a boy visited many ships at Station Pier.

สวัสดี / ສບາຍດີ / hello from sisaket province thailand.

BRAVO ZULU

❤Brave men and women served in the Australian navy, much respect.😮 ohhh, just hope the politicians know were our coastline started and finish. It doesn’t reached the South China Sea period.😮😮😮😮ohhh ohhhh only canon fodder welcomes. Think!,,!,,!

Fair winds and following seas....

Why is HMAS Anzac being decommissioned?

I remember the day she was launched at Williamstown Tenix shipyards. Delivered on time and on budget. Pity politics got in the way so they can build ships in South Australia. Never has a ship been built there been completed on time and within budget.

Farewell old girl.

So are we going to have any ships in our Navy?

Actually retiring the Anzac now, will increase the availability of the rest of the fleet, she will be cannibalized for spare parts and then scrapped.

The ship was only 30 years old practically a baby

It has decommissioned or is shortly? This will be donated to the Philippines won't it?

Amazes me that the Labor Government states out Defence Force is in crisis, Navy does not have enough ships. So we give HMAS ANZAC away.

Donate to the Philippines so that she can continue to serve.

Worst posting I ever had in 30 years !

Hopefully to be transferred to phillipines navy soon..they will need a warship before Australia at this rate...
