Australian Defence Vessel (ADV) Cape Naturaliste, named after Cape Naturaliste in Western Australia, is an evolved Шаблон:Sclass2 of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).[1][2][3]

The ship is the third of eight evolved Cape-class patrol boats to be delivered to the Royal Australian Navy. Prior to Cape Naturaliste, 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 and Шаблон:Ship.[1][2][3]

The ship was built by Austal in Henderson, Western Australia, commissioned on 4 November 2022 and based at Шаблон:HMAS in Darwin, Northern Territory. Cape Naturaliste was officially welcomed in Darwin in June 2023, alongside her sister ship Шаблон:Ship, becoming the first evolved Cape-class patrol boats to be based there. The patrol boat's primary duty lies in fisheries protection, immigration, customs and drug law enforcement operations.[1][2][3]

The ship is one 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.[4]
