Description

Now decommission and given to Philippine's HMAS Tarakan L129 in Sydney for International Navy Fleet Review, 2013.
HMAS Tarakan commissioned at HMAS Moreton in Brisbane on 15 June 1973 under the command of a future Chief of Navy, Lieutenant Chris Ritchie, RAN. After a period spent working up in Queensland waters, Tarakan quickly settled into a routine of training, exercising, undergoing maintenance and support tasks in support of the RAN fleet and Australian Army, as well as providing training to RAN clearance divers, reservists, cadets and other trainees.

On 8 October she embarked a load of heavy vehicles for the first time, taking aboard three land rovers and personnel from the Department of Primary Industries at Bulimba before transporting them to Tangalooma Island where they set up camp to study wildlife on the island. She retrieved the vehicles and personnel four days later.
Tarakan visited Sydney for the first time later that month arriving on the 19th and was present for the opening of the Sydney Opera House and Open Day at Garden Island.
