Commissioned for the RAN in 1967 as a Perth-class Guided Missile Destroyer, served in both the Vietnam War and Operation Desert Storm. Assisted the relief and cleanup of Darwin following Cyclone Tracey and attended the naval review for the Silver Jubillee in 1976.
Was decommissioned in 2001, and subsequently sunk in 2005 to become a marine conservation park and recreational dive site.

Top of the funnels sits about 3-5m below the surface, the keel is in approx 27m of water. Following an orientation dive, divers qualified may penetrate almost the entire ship due to the large number of light holes, also is home to VERY large Bull Rays and Queensland Groupers
