HMAS Glenelg (ACPB 96), named for the city of Glenelg, South Australia is an Armidale-class patrol boat of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Design and construction{{main|Armidale-class patrol boat}}The Armidale-class patrol boats are {{convert|56.8|m}} long, with a beam of {{convert|9.7|m}}, a draught of {{convert|2.7|m}}, and a standard displacement of 270 tons.[1] The semi-displacement vee hull is fabricated from aluminium alloy, and each vessel is built to a combination of Det Norske Veritas standards for high-speed light craft and RAN requirements.[2] The Armidales can travel at a maximum speed of {{convert|25|kn}}, and are driven by two propeller shafts, each connected to an MTU 16V M70 diesel.[3] The ships have a range of {{convert|3000|nmi}} at {{convert|12|kn}}, allowing them to patrol the waters around the distant territories of Australia, and are designed for standard patrols of 21 days, with a maximum endurance of 42 days.[3][2] The main armament of the Armidale class is a Rafael Typhoon stabilised {{convert|25|mm|in|adj=on}} gun mount fitted with an M242 Bushmaster autocannon.[3] Two {{convert|12.7|mm|in|adj=on}} machine guns are also carried.[3] Boarding operations are performed by two {{convert|7.2|m|ft|adj=on}}, waterjet propelled rigid-hulled inflatable boats (RHIBs).[2] Each RHIB is stored in a dedicated cradle and davit, and is capable of operating independently from the patrol boat as it carries its own communications, navigation, and safety equipment.[2][4] Each patrol boat has a standard ship's company of 21 personnel, with a maximum of 29.[5][2] The Armidales do not have a permanently assigned ship's company; instead, they are assigned to divisions at a ratio of two vessels to three companies, which rotate through the vessels and allow the Armidales to spend more time at sea, without compromising sailors' rest time or training requirements.[2][6] A 20-berth auxiliary accommodation compartment was included in the design for the transportation of soldiers, illegal fishermen, or unauthorised arrivals; in the latter two cases, the compartment could be secured from the outside.[7] However, a malfunction in the sewerage treatment facilities aboard {{HMAS|Maitland|ACPB 88|6}} in August 2006 pumped hydrogen sulphide and carbon monoxide into the compartment, non-fatally poisoning four sailors working inside, after which use of the compartment for accommodation was banned across the class.[6][7] Glenelg was one of two patrol boats ordered in 2005, following an 2004 federal election promise that the Coalition would provide a dedicated patrol force for the oil and gas producing facilities located off the north-west coast of Australia.[5][2][8] Glenelg was constructed by Austal at their shipyard in Henderson, Western Australia.[1] She was the last ship of the class to be commissioned, on 22 February 2008.[1]Operational historyShe is based at HMAS Coonawarra, assigned to the Aware Division, and performs border protection duties.
