The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Anzac (MEKO 200)-class frigate HMAS Arunta (Ⅱ) has rejoined the fleet after having undergone a 20-month-long Anzac Mid-Life Capability Assurance Program (AMCAP) upgrade at the Australian Marine Complex in Henderson, Western Australia. The RAN announced on 18 June that the 3,600-tonne vessel, which is the first of eight ships of the class to have completed the extensive upgrade, returned in early June to its home port of Fleet Base West where it rejoined the fleet. The 118 m-long ship, which was commissioned in December 1998, is expected to begin conducting work-ups and testing the new equipment on board in the near future.
