#HMASNewcastle

The Royal Australian Navy’s last locally built Adelaide class guided missile frigate, #HMASNewcastle , has been decommissioned at a rousing ceremony at Fleet Base East in Sydney. #AusNavy

An honour to join #HmasNewcastle for her last night at sea returning from operations in the Middle East as Royal Australian Navy 65th continuous rotation of a Major Fleet Unit to the area. Greeted by a gorgeous Sydney sunrise and 1200 happy loved ones. Coming home never gets old!

#YourADF ’s #HMASNewcastle has now completed the 65th rotation of an #AusNavy ship in the #MiddleEast since 1990 & handed over to #HMASWarramunga

The “Knight” has decommissioned today after 26 years in service. She has travelled over 900,000 nautical miles, conducted 6 deployments, and been home to hundreds of our men and women. Bravo Zulu! Royal Australian Navy #AusNavy #HMASNewcastle #FFG06 #Knight #GreatNavyDay

One of the things that make our Royal Australian Navy warships feel supported when deployed is the awesome support from AussieHeroQuilts. Here the crew from warship #HmasNewcastle show off their individually designed quilts while in the MER
