Perth (HMAS Perth)

HMAS Perth was a guided missile destroyer of the Royal Australian Navy, named after the city of Perth, Western Australia. Launched in 1968, it served as a major naval asset for coastal defense, fleet escort, and maritime security. Equipped with advanced radar, missile systems, and anti-submarine weapons, Perth played key roles in regional peacekeeping and humanitarian efforts. It was also involved in international exercises and missions, reinforcing Australia's defense capabilities. Decommissioned in 2017, HMAS Perth remains a symbol of Australian naval strength and a proud part of the nation's maritime history.
