ROYAL AUSTRALIAN NAVY HFCS FREQUENCIES
added 19/07/05

 

Due to the recent upgrade ( see JP 2043 Project ) by the Australian Department Of Defence of it's HF networks I have not yet obtained a list of the frequency uses. These are, however, the registered frequencies now used by the RAN.

I will update this page as soon as I can find out more, if you hear anything drop me a line.

HMAS Parramatta has been heard on the HFCS VCN 3  - 9340 KHz contacting Australia Control.

Australian Fleet Establishments

HMAS ALBATROSS 
Is the largest operational Naval establishment and the Navy’s only Air Station.

The primary task of HMAS ALBATROSS is to support the four Naval Air Squadrons, which provide air support to the fleet. The four Squadrons and the aircraft they operate are:

723 Squadron with AS350 Squirrel helicopters;
816 Squadron with S-70B Seahawk helicopters;
817 Squadron with SK50 Westland Sea King helicopters; and
805 Squadron with SH2G(A) Super Seasprite helicopters.

The Air Station is also home to the Navy Aviation Force Element Group. The Commander Australian Navy Aviation Group (COMAUSNAVAIRGRP) has responsibility for delivery of aviation capability to the Government.

 

HMAS CAIRNS
With a responsibility extending from Rockhampton to Thursday Island, HMAS Cairns is currently composed of 800 naval and civilian personnel. It provides support to:

five Fremantle Class Patrol Boats;
four Survey Motor Launches;
four Landing Craft Heavy; and
two Hydrographic Survey Ships.

HMAS Cairns also provides refit support for minor Royal Australian Navy vessels and Pacific Class Patrol Boats from neighbouring Pacific nations.

 

HMAS CERBERUS
HMAS CERBERUS, the Royal Australian Navy's foremost and largest training establishment. HMAS CERBERUS offers a wide range of services and activities to serving members and their families. These pages provide information about the facilities in HMAS CERBERUS as well as the local community of Mornington Peninsula Shire.

The primary role of HMAS CERBERUS since inception has been the training of Navy Personnel.

 

HMAS COONAWARRA
Darwin is a vitally important Navy port - a gateway to our northern neighbours and the centre from which we conduct border integrity operations. Twelve fleet units are home-ported at Darwin Naval Base, located within COONAWARRA, and preparations are underway for the arrival of the Armidale class patrol boats in 2005. Darwin also plays host to major RAN and multi-national exercises and operations involving around 100 visiting Australian and foreign major warships each year.

 

HMAS Creswell
HMAS Creswell is located on the south-western shores of Jervis Bay in the Jervis Bay Territory, 180 kilometres south of Sydney. As it is part of a large National Park which includes some magnificent woodland and beaches, on 25 August 1981 the establishment was placed on the register of the National Estate by the Australian Heritage Commission. This recognises the historical significance of the establishment and its special value for the present community as well as for future generations.

The Royal Australian Naval College forms the major part of HMAS Creswell.

 

HMAS HARMAN
The principal function of HMAS HARMAN is the provision of Navy administrative functions to all Navy personnel located in the Canberra area and is commanded by a Commander.

The communications function, while remaining in the HARMAN and Belconnen sites, is now resident within a separate Command Element. This new Command Element comprises the Naval Communications Area Master Station Australia (NAVCAMSAUS) and Naval Communications Station (NAVCOMMSTA) Canberra and is known as NAVCAMSAUS Command, commanded by a Lieutenant Commander.

 

HMAS Kuttabul
Garden Island


HMAS Penguin
Situated in the suburb of Balmoral on Middle Head in Sydney Harbour, HMAS Penguin is surrounded by beaches and parkland and is within 30 minutes of the city centre.

HMAS Penguin is a part of Navy's Systems Command. Its primary role is to provide trained personnel to the Fleet and it is the home of the RAN Diving School, the RAN Hydrographic School and the Medical Training School.
