Royal Australian Navy River Class FrigatesPrint Page 
The plaque commemorates the Royal Australian Navy (R.A.N.) River Class Frigates, and the men who served in them in war and peace from 1942 to 1979
The River-class frigates which are all named after Australian rivers, were built in Australia. All but one of the River-class frigates were sold and scrapped after they were decommissioned, with HMAS Diamantina preserved as a museum ship at the Queensland Maritime Museum.
