	HMAS DUBBO (I) - HMA Ship Histories (Sea Power Centre - Australia)
		HMAS DUBBO was one of sixty Australian Minesweepers (commonly known as corvettes) built during World War II in Australian shipyards as part of the Commonwealth Government’s wartime shipbuilding programme.
		DUBBO began her seagoing career attached to the escort and anti-submarine group based on Fremantle and remained on this duty until March 1945, a period of two and a half years during which she steamed some 77,000 miles on routine patrols and escort work.
		In June 1945 DUBBO proceeded to the Solomons, where she resumed her role of support to the Australian land forces with a series of bombardments of Japanese positions on Buka Island and the Bougainville coast.

	LA VANGUARDIA DIGITAL - Detienen a 67 personas en una operación contra la pesca ilegal en Sydney
		Los "HMAS Dubbo" y "HMAS Success" tuvieron que hundir cinco de los barcos pesqueros indonesios al hacer caso omiso de llamamientos para que se detuvieran.
		La operación contra la pesca ilegal se produce varios meses después de que organizaciones pesqueras se quejaran de la pobre vigilancia en las aguas en la costa norteña del país y amenazaran con tomarse la justicia por su mano y obligar a los pesqueros ilícitos a salir de las aguas australianas.
		Los "HMAS Dubbo" y "HMAS Success" ahora escoltan a los barcos pesqueros indonesios capturados con rumbo al puerto de Darwin, adonde tienen previsto llegar el martes.

	The RiotACT » Third HMAS Canberra to be an Assault Ship (if they're ever built)
		HMAS Canberra, a 9850-ton heavy cruiser of the British Kent class, was built at Glasgow, Scotland.
		HMAS Canberra is a long range escort frigate that undertakes roles including area air-defence, anti-submarine warfare, surveillance, reconnaissance and interdiction.
		I reckon HMAS Dubbo or HMAS Forbes are equally worthwhile, and with the tragic history of the Canberra range, that may not be such a bad thing - not that I put any stock in a name having any effect on anything whatsoever.
