HMAS Broome

Two vessels of the Royal Australian Navy have been named HMAS Broome, for the town of Broome, Western Australia.

  • HMAS Broome (J191), a Bathurst-class corvette which operated from 1942 until 1946, when she was sold to the Turkish Navy
  • HMAS Broome (ACPB 90), an Armidale-class patrol boat that entered service in 2007 and is active as of 2016

Battle honours

Two battle honours were awarded to the first HMAS Broome; these are inherited by subsequent ships of the name:[1][2]

gollark: Idea: benchmark regexes on creation.
gollark: Linear time doesn't mean it won't take unreasonable amounts of apiotime though.
gollark: You could use some sort of FSMable regex subset, yes.
gollark: Every sufficiently complicated Discord bot eventually evolves a bad custom CLI argument parser, an economy somehow, and some kind of limited on scope esolang.
gollark: What it ABRHighlight deterministic finite automaton?
