SH-2 Seasprite helicopters

From the table: "Oliver Hazard Perry Class Friagte...Anti-submarine and anti-aircraft frigate with SH-2 Seasprite helicopters "

The Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates do NOT embark SeaSPRITES, they have 2 hangers for SeaHAWK helicopters. Many of the ANZAC frigates also have seahawks and not the smaller Seasprites.

I've verified this to the RAN website, and updated. Thanks for noticing. Astrotrain 17:18, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

Fleet section

Removed info on deployments and RAN's mission because it is already covered in more detail in other sections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morzs (talk • contribs)

Ranks

Thought I should just point out that the rank of 'Commander-In-Chief' does not exist, the 'Postion' is held by both the Monarch of Australian and the Governor General of Australia. Nford24 11:13, 10 November 2011 (AEST)
