HMAS Manoora (1935)

HMAS Manoora (1935)

The first HMAS "Manoora" was a motor vessel laid down for the Adelaide Steamship Company by Alex Stephen and Son at Govan in Scotland in July 1934, launched on 25 October 1935 and completed in 1935.

The ship entered service on the Cairns to Fremantle run, but was requisitioned by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) on 11 October 1939. "Manoora" was outfitted at Sydney for service as an armed merchant cruiser and commissioned into the RAN on 12 December 1939.

On 30 September 1942, "Manoora" returned to Sydney and was converted to a Landing Ship, Infantry (LSI) by 2 February 1943.

"Manoora" paid off on 6 December 1947 and was returned to her owners on 31 August 1949. She was sold to an Indonesian company in 1961 and renamed "Albulombo". The ship was finally sold for scrap to a Japanese firm in 1972.
