The first of the 6 Enhanced Cape Class to be delivered by Austal to the Royal Australian Navy. They will act as patrol ships to supplement the new Arafura Class OPVs in patrol missions as they replace the Armidale class.

RN:
A badly damaged HMS Liverpool after an Italian SM.79 Sparviero torpedo bomber found its mark on 14 October 1940 as the ship made for Alexandria, Egypt - 30 killed, 35 more wounded.
Summary from H.M. Ships Damaged or Sunk By Enemy Action:
Nature of Attack: One Torpedo Contact dropped by aircraft
Time out of Action: 12 months, including 4 months permanent repairs in U.S.A.
Brief Account of Damage and Lessons Learned: LIVERPOOL was attacked by enemy aircraft whilst proceeding with the fleet to Alexandria. The torpedo struck the fore end, and severe structural damage was caused in the vicinity of the explosion. The petrol tank was damaged and petrol vapour pervaded the fore end. The petrol vapour was ignited by a spark from a short circuit, and the resultant explosion severely damaged the fore end, and blew off the roof of 'A' turret. Severe structural damage was sustained as far aft as 'B' turret. The damaged bow caused the ship to steer badly when towed stern first, but it eventually broke off just forward of 'A' turret, whilst the ship was being towed to Alexandria.
Fighting Efficiency - Seriously impaired.
'A' and 'B' turrets were out of action.
The ship was unable to proceed under power, except astern.
REMARKS: As a result of this incident an amendment of Damage Control Handbook (O.V.6331/39) Page 5 Para.36, was issued. When petrol fumes are present, consideration should be given to the need for switching off fans and damaged electric circuits in the vicinity, to guard against further explosion. A.F.O.P402/41.

USN:
PT-9, PT-11 and PT-12 underway in New York Harbor, circa late 1940. Statue of Liberty is in the background.
A North American P-51D Mustang is lowered to the hangar aboard the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Shangri-La (CV-38) during a test flight on 15 November 1944.
Baltimore-class heavy cruiser USS Fall River underway
USS Fall River, a Baltimore-class cruiser, had an extremely short service history. Being commissioned right at the war's end, she served one short tour of duty before being mothballed, in 1947. Interestingly, she was selected for a missile cruiser conversion, but ultimately passed over for her sister USS Colombus who was in better condition despite having served longer... Presumably Colombus had been better maintained than mothballed ships.
