HMAS Success returned to sea October 25 and has commenced Sea Qualification Trials and a Unit Readiness workup package.
The significant milestone marked the end of a complex refit
package, which included an extensive docking, considerable engineering plant
overhaul and structural work.
Commanding Officer, Captain Allison Norris said her ship’s company had put in many hours of
hard work to return the battle tanker to sea.
“Every department on the ship put in substantial effort to
get Success seaworthy. Their willingness to come together as a team
to get the job done was outstanding.”
“The engineering department’s commitment and dedication to
progressing an intricate Test and Trials program among a busy whole ship
program was particularly noteworthy,” Captain Norris said.
Success has now
started Sea Qualification Trials and a Unit Readiness workup package.
The ship achieved alongside Mariner Skills Evaluation (MSE) on 16 October and are expected to
attain Unit Readiness Certification by the end of 2013, in preparation for a
busy operational program in 2014.-Navy.com
