HMAS Cessnock (FCPB 210), named for the city of Cessnock, New South Wales was a Шаблон:Sclass of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).

Design and construction

Шаблон:Main Starting in the late 1960s, planning began for a new class of patrol boat to replace the Шаблон:Sclass, with designs calling for improved seakeeping capability, and updated weapons and equipment.[1] The Fremantles had a full load displacement of Шаблон:Convert, were Шаблон:Convert long overall, had a beam of Шаблон:Convert, and a maximum draught of Шаблон:Convert.[2] Main propulsion machinery consisted of two MTU series 538 diesel engines, which supplied Шаблон:Convert to the two propeller shafts.[2] Exhaust was not expelled through a funnel, like most ships, but through vents below the waterline.[3] The patrol boat could reach a maximum speed of Шаблон:Convert, and had a maximum range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[2] The ship's company consisted of 22 personnel.[2] Each patrol boat was armed with a single Bofors 40mm gun, supplemented by two .50 cal Browning machineguns and an 81 mm mortar.[2] The mortar was removed from all ships sometime after 1988.Шаблон:Citation needed The main weapon was originally to be two 30 mm guns on a twin-mount, but the reconditioned Bofors were selected to keep costs down; provision was made to install an updated weapon later in the class' service life, but this did not eventuate.[4][3]

Cessnock was laid down by the NQEA in Cairns, Queensland on 9 March 1981, launched on 15 January 1983, and commissioned into the RAN on 5 March 1983.[5][6]

Operational history

Following Cyclone Bola in 1988, Cessnock provided assistance to 30 villages across 11 islands in Vanuatu.[5]

Fate

Cessnock was decommissioned on 23 June 2005.[5] It was scrapped in Darwin during 2006, at a cost of $400,000 to the Australian government.[7]
