Шаблон:For Шаблон:For HMPNGS Rabaul (01) was the first Pacific Forum patrol vessel to be commissioned, in May 1987.[1] She is not the first vessel of the class to go out of service, because her sister ship from Fiji Шаблон:Ship was wrecked in 2016.[2][3] She arrived in Port Moresby, for disposal, on October 24, 2018.[4] The vessel was named HMPNGS Tarangau.[5]
Australia gave Papua New Guinea four vessels, and gave an additional eighteen vessels to neighboring countries in the Pacific Forum.[5][6] Australia gave these vessels to her smaller neighbors after the United Nations Convention of the Laws of the Sea established that maritime nations had Шаблон:Convert exclusive economic zone.[7] Australia gave these vessels so its neighbours could police their own sovereignty.
Design
Australia designed the vessels using commercial off-the-shelf technology, so small countries would find them easier to maintain, in small remote shipyards. Australia fully equipped the ships, prior to delivery, with the exception of providing armament, but they are capable of mounting an autocannon on the foredeck.
Operational history
Rabaul and her sister ships played a role in the Bougainville conflict.[6]
Replacement
Australia started building a new, larger, and more capable class of patrol vessels, to replace the Pacific Forum class.[1][7] Rabaul was replaced by Шаблон:Ship, in December 2018.
