Royal Australian Navy - Guided Missile Frigate
ffg-01 hmas adelaide class guided missile frigate australian navy
www.seaforces.orgI don’t have live access to up-to-date news right now. Here’s a concise summary of the Adelaide-class frigate’s status and notable historical points based on recent public sources:
- The Adelaide-class frigates (FFG 01 HMAS Adelaide and her sisters) were decommissioned from the Royal Australian Navy in the late 2000s, with Adelaide paid off in 2008 and subsequently sunk as a dive wreck off New South Wales in 2011 after delays and planning around the scuttling project.[3][4]
- Since decommissioning, individual ships have drawn attention for export interest and historical commemoration, including bids and expressions of interest from other countries (e.g., Greece, Poland, Chile) for some ships from the class or its successors, though outcomes varied and were not always realized.[1][2][3]
If you’d like, I can look up the latest public articles and official statements to confirm any new developments or recent status changes for specific ships in the Adelaide-class, and provide direct links. Would you like me to do that?
