HMAS Arunta
HMAS Arunta

The second HMAS Arunta (FFH 151) is an Anzac class frigate currently in service with the Royal Australian Navy. Arunta was built at Williamstown, Victoria and was commissioned in December 1998. Since her commissioning Arunta has been deployed to patrol northern Australian waters on a number of occasions. The ship first saw active service in 2002 when she was deployed to the Persian Gulf as part of Operation Slipper. During this deployment Arunta conducted more boardings than any other ship had previously conducted while enforcing the sanctions imposed on Iraq.
