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: I've only got three free magis right now.
gollark: Well, I can AR them all and catch three at a time.
gollark: I can AR and should be able to catch.
gollark: Since the resolution of my thing is only about two seconds anyway, it's probably best to manually check in any case.
gollark: System clock. Or whatever `new Date()` uses, which I assume is the system clock.
