HMAS Sydney (IV) entered Sydney Heads for the final time as a Royal Australian Navy ship this morning, before being welcomed alongside Garden Island, by former sailors, officers and support staff. The Adelaide class frigate is scheduled to be decommissioned at the end of the year to make way for the Navy’s new fleet of Hobart Class Guided Missile Destroyers. Sydney (IV) was commissioned on 29 January 1983 and is the fourth ship to bear the name.
