The Final Entry: Navy’s First Lady of the Fleet, #HMASPaluma and #HMASMermaid have sailed into Cairns for the final time. #OurPeople at HMAS Cairns lined the wharf to mark the occasion, which signifies one step closer to the Survey Motor Launches joint decommissioning next month. The vessels are part of #AusNavy’s Hydrographic Fleet and have been in service for over 30 years. They contribute to Australia’s charting area of responsibility which covers one-eighth of the Earth's surface. We’ll share more information about this important capability and what’s next when they decommission. Petty Officer George Cheng #YourADF
