The second HMAS Canberra (FFG 02) was an Adelaide class guided missile armed frigate of the Royal Australian Navy. The ship was built by Todd Shipyards at Seattle and was commissioned in March 1981. Canberra completed two deployments to the Persian Gulf between November 1992 and March 1993 and March to July 2002 where she took part in enforcing the santions imposed on Iraq. Canberra was decommissioned in November 2005 and is expected to be sunk as a dive wreck off the Victorian coast.
