The sixth of eight ANZAC-class frigates of the Royal Australian Navy has been undocked by BAE Systems Australia after major modernization work.
The upgrades were to the combat management system of HMAS Parramatta, with the addition of a new infrared search-and-track system, and a new dual navigation radar.
