Say hello to the ADV Cape Woolamai

Freo Today. 17 May 2023. Defence’s fifth evolved Cape-class patrol boat (CCPB) ADV Cape Woolamai – the one on the left numbered 318 – has been launched in Henderson, bringing Australia a step closer to an enhanced border protection capability. The future ADV Cape Woolamai, named after the headland at the south-eastern tip of Phillip Island in Victoria, was recently launched after about 12 months of construction. This nice pic of her tied up at Austal‘s facility at Henderson, along with two close relatives, was taken by Les Moyle with a long lens from outside the harbour.
