HMAS Dubbo (FCPB 214), named for the city of Dubbo, 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 as main armament, supplemented by two .50 cal Browning machineguns and an 81-mm mortar,[2] although 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.[3][4]

Dubbo was laid down by NQEA in Cairns, Queensland on 9 August 1982, launched on 21 January 1984 in the presence of Thomas Arthur Slattery and Joan Slattery, then Mayor and Mayoress of Dubbo,Шаблон:Citation needed and commissioned into the RAN on 10 March 1984.[5]

Fate

Dubbo was decommissioned at Шаблон:HMAS on 2 February 2007, and was the last ship of her class to be stationed at Coonawarra.[6] The patrol boat was broken up for scrap in Darwin during 2006 and 2007, at a cost of $450,000 to the Australian government.[7]
