HMAS Melbourne has been deployed to operation slipper in support of the
combined maratime fourses
the combined maratime forces consists of twenty four different countries.
The main role that would be conducting since it commenced was maratime
security operations in support of the combined task fource one five zero
that's included ingagement with local marina community boarding since
support of accountering extremism in the region.
The reason we conduct boardings is to engage the local marina community
we also use supporting to check the bonafieds of vessels so if were in doubt
about the flag of a vessel we go onboard and check the flag of that vessel,
have a talk to the master, find out what activities his ingaged in.
boardings are very much a team effort in a ship like Melbourne
ah, it relies on every department and every individual on ship to contribute to it
and then the boarding parties themselves uh... get their hands durty and go visit some of
these ship's and spread the goodwill of the maratime forces while they're doing that.
