Embarking on operation Manitou, Royal Australian Nay frigate HMAS Newcastle became the first to deploy on operations with an MH60R helicopter and a ScanEagle Unmanned Aerial System.
Commanding officer Newcastle Commander Mark Sirois said their pre-deployment work-up involved integration of the new capabilities.
“We prepared the ship in all respects for the mission and ensured our combat systems were good to go, which included firing a Standard Missile 2 off the east coast, the first firing conducted in Australian waters,” Commander Sirois said.
