Шаблон:Infobox ship imageШаблон:Infobox ship careerШаблон:Infobox ship characteristicsAustralian Defence Vessel (ADV) Cape Fourcroy, named after Cape Fourcroy in the Northern Territory, is a Шаблон:Sclass2 of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).[1]
The ship is the first of two Cape-class patrol boats to be delivered to the Royal Australian Navy, the second having been Шаблон:Ship. The ship was built by Austal in Henderson, Western Australia, commissioned in April 2017 and based at Шаблон:HMAS in Queensland.[1]
Austal was originally awarded a $350Шаблон:Nbspmillion contract to construct eight Cape-class patrol boats for the Australian Border Force to replace the Bay-class patrol boats in 2011, with the eight boats delivered between 2013 and 2015. A $63Шаблон:Nbspmillion contract for two more boats, for lease by the RAN, was awarded to Austal by the National Australia Bank in December 2015.[1] Subsequently, the RAN ordered another eight Evolved Cape-class patrol boats from Austal.[2][3] Unlike the later eight boats, which are in a grey colour scheme, Cape Inscription and Cape Fourcroy are in the blue and white colour scheme of the eight Australian Border Force vessels, but without the red stripe.[4]
