Australian Defence Vessel (ADV) Cape Otway, named after Cape Otway, is an evolved Шаблон:Sclass2 of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).[1][2][3][4]

It is the first of eight evolved Cape-class patrol boats to be delivered to the RAN. Prior to Cape Otway, the RAN already operated the Cape-class patrol boats Cape Fourcroy and Cape Inscription.[1][2][3][4]

It was built by Austal in Henderson, Western Australia, commissioned on 23 March 2022 and based at Шаблон:HMAS in Queensland, where it arrived in June 2022.[5] The patrol boat's primary duty lies in fisheries protection, immigration, customs and drug law enforcement operations.[1][2][3][4]

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.[6]
