Australia & Indonesia:
HMAS Anzac trained with two Indonesian Navy ships this month during Exercise New Horizon, a key biennial maritime high-end warfare engagement. The exercise was conducted in the waters off Surabaya, Indonesia, as the final international activity of Indo-Pacific Endeavour (IPE21). New Horizon focused on building anti-surface warfare skills and increasing interoperability between the two navies. Anzac joined the Indonesian Navy Ships Martadinata class frigate KRI Gusti Ngurah Rai (332) and Fatahillah class corvette KRI Malahayati (362) in officer-of-the-watch manoeuvres, helicopter operations, tactical manoeuvring and anti-surface warfare serials.

Italy:
The wreck of the submarine Jantina, sunk in 1941 by HMS Torbay, recently discovered by Greek divers in the Aegean Sea

Jantina (named after a species of sea slug), one of the seven boats of the Argonauta class, “600-ton” series of Mediterranean submarines, had been built in La Spezia in 1930-1933 and at the outbreak of World War II was stationed in Leros, in what was then Italian Dodecanese, as part of the 52nd Submarine Squadron, Fifth Submarine Group.

After carrying out six uneventful patrols in the Eastern Mediterranean, on 27 June 1941, during her seventh war patrol, Jantina unsuccessfully attacked the Australian sloop HMAS Parramatta off Marsa Matruh, Egypt. Parramatta, saved by her low draught (the torpedo passed under the hull), counterattacked with depth charges, soon joined by destroyer HMAS Stuart and later by aircraft. The hunt lasted nearly two days, and Jantina was eventually able to escape and return to Leros, but not without having suffered serious damage. As this could not be repaired with the limited means available in that overseas base, in the early hours of 5 July 1941 Jantina sailed from Leros, under the command of Lieutenant Commander Vincenzo Politi, bound for Naples, via Corinth and Messina, where she would be repaired. As the damage prevented the boat from submerging, Jantina would have to remain on the surface for the entirety of her passage.

In the late afternoon of the same day, Jantina was sighted by submarine HMS Torbay (Lieutenant Commander Anthony Cecil Capel Miers) off the island of Mykonos. As the sun was setting, the British boat fired six torpedoes; the crew of Jantina spotted two torpedo tracks, but it was too late for an evasive maneuver. Both torpedoes struck their target, and Jantina sank in less than a minute. Of a crew of 48, only six (Ensign Michele Giadrossi and five ratings) survived, by swimming to nearby Mykonos.

Jantina lies at a depth of 103 meters.

Australia:
Thanks to @Conhoon

HMAS Stalwart was commissioned into service on 13 November at Fleet Base West, Rockingham, Western Australia.

HMAS Stalwart, the second of the Supply-class auxiliary oiler replenishment ships will provide logistics replenishment to ships at sea, while also having the ability to support the Joint Force on a wider scale.
Chief of Navy Vice Admiral Michael Noonan said the auxiliary oiler replenishment ships bring a significant capability to Australian Navy and Australia’s regional partners in terms of providing at-sea support.
Stalwart Commanding Officer Commander Steve McCracken said his ship’s company was proud to be part of the continuing relationship between the Royal Australian Navy and the City of Greater Geraldton.
“The naming of Geraldton as the ceremonial homeport of Stalwart formalises a three-way partnership between the ship, the City of Greater Geraldton and the Yamatji peoples,” Commander McCracken added.

Great to see Philippines dipping the toes in modern warship ability with the Jose Rizal ships ( even if they're not quite what they contracted) but the old USCG ships have to be completely worn out machinery-wise after almost 60 years. They were used hard and hung up wet when I was around in the 80's and they certainly wouldn't have gotten better with age!
