Battle honours

Five battle honours have been awarded to ships named HMAS Yarra:[1][2]

gollark: What is, the evil exploit someone made?
gollark: It's a very clever exploit - they load some trusted code via PotatOS Privileged Execution™, then send it fake HTTP responses containing code.
gollark: I've probably patched it now (hard to test, because one of my changes broke the exploit code but in a way which could be worked around), but at the cost of causing minor breakage in a mostly unused feature.
gollark: I'm having to reverse-engineer yet ANOTHER heavily obfuscated potatOS sandbox exploit.
