Leeuwin-class Survey Vessel

The Leeuwin-class is a two-ship class of hydrographic survey vessels operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Leeuwin and Moreton were ordered from NQEA Australia in 1996, and were commissioned in 2000. The ships are capable of charting waters up to 20,000 feet (6,096 meters) deep, carry three Fantome-class survey boats, and can operate an AS350B Squirrel helicopter. In addition to surveying duties, since 2001 both vessels have been used to supplement the RAN patrol force. Leeuwin and Moreton are based at HMAS Cairns, and are active as of 2019.
