FYI for those who dont know Sea Patrol is an Australian television drama that ran from 2007 to 2011, set on board HMAS Hammersley.

And it's worth pointing out that the following RAN vessels are not patrol boats,
HMAS Tobruk (L50) - Landing Ship Heavy
HMAS Kanimbla (L51) - Landing Platform Amphibious
HMAS Manoora (L52) - Landing Platform Amphibious

The fictional HMAS Hammersly was portrayed by a Fremantle Class boat in the first season only. From the second season it was portrayed by an Armidale Class boat. This was due to the Fremantle Class being decommissioned and replaced by the Armidale Class from 2005 to 2007.

And even more (in)famously we happen to have a rather, ah, "mentally challenged" Greens Senator who honestly believes it was a documentary, and not a work of total fiction.

This doesn't surprise me...

I don't see why you can't put in HMAS Hammersley as fictions unit, other people have done it for the Airwolf and the A-Team

HMAS Hammersly would be just the same as every other Fremantle class patrol boat so why bother? The other fictional units you mention are unique but any Fremantle class boat is one of 15 units.

That's true. They're equivalent from most relevant perspectives.

Yep, that was an embarrassing performance by Hanson-Young, but the subsequent humiliation drove home her error quite firmly I'm sure. So I think "believed" is probably more accurate than "believes".

Based on everything else she's said in the last few years, I think "believes" is still applicable.

I think we should stick to T2K-related stuff and leave politically partisan comments for other more appropriate forums.
