Description
HMAS Anzac (FFH 150), lead ship of the Anzac-class frigates, was decommissioned at Fleet Base West, HMAS Stirling, on 18 May 2024, exactly 28 years after her commissioning on 18 May 1996, the Department of Defence and Janes reported. She was the Royal Australian Navy's longest-serving commissioned warship at the time. Her retirement began the drawdown of the eight-ship class, which is to be replaced by general-purpose frigates under the fleet restructure announced in 2024.
