The ship will be the sixth of eight evolved Cape-class patrol boats to be delivered to the Royal Australian Navy. Prior to Cape Pillar, the RAN already operated the Cape-class patrol boats Cape Fourcroy and Cape Inscription as well as the evolved Cape-class patrol boats Шаблон:Ship, Шаблон:Ship, Шаблон:Ship, Шаблон:Ship and Шаблон:Ship.[1][2]
The ship is the last of the original six evolved Cape-class patrol boats the RAN ordered in April 2020 to replace the Шаблон:Sclasss in this role, at a projected cost of A$324Шаблон:Nbspmillion. This order was subsequently expanded by another two boats in April 2022, at an additional projected cost of $124Шаблон:Nbspmillion.[3]
The ship is being built by Austal in Henderson, Western Australia and was launched in June 2023.[1][2]
She was commissioned on 13 October 2023 and is to be based at HMAS Coonawarra in Darwin, Northern Territory[4]
