The Royal Australian Navy’s Collins-class submarine HMAS Sheean has taken advantage of a mid-ocean encounter by getting in some anti-submarine warfare practice on its way to Singapore for a major exercise.
HMAS Sheean will participate in Exercise Bersama Shield 2014 with other Australian Defence Force assets alongside the defence forces of New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore and the United Kingdom in a critical test of interoperability.
On the way past Christmas Island, Sheean encountered the RAN Anzac-class frigate HMAS Stuart. The Commander of Australian Navy’s Maritime Operations, Commodore Brad Wheeler, said neither vessel could let the chance slip by without engaging in a battle of stealth.
