HMAS Jervis Bay (GT 203)

HMAS "Jervis Bay" (GT 203) was a roll-on/roll-off passenger and cargo ferry built by the State Dockyard at Newcastle, New South Wales as the MV "Australian Trader". She was launched on 17 February 1969 and operated as a ferry in Bass Strait by the Australian National Line.

The ship was purchased by the Royal Australian Navy on 28 January 1977 for $5.07 million. [Moore, John E (ed). "Janes Fighting Ships 1979-80", Jane's Yearbooks, London, 1977. ISBN 0-354-00587-1] "Jervis Bay" was converted as the fleet training ship, replacing HMAS "Duchess" and commissioned on 25 August 1977. "Jervis Bay" provided basic navigation and seamanship training, and also provided logistic transport to the Australian Army as required.

HMAS "Jervis Bay" paid off on 18 April 1994, sold on 7 December 1994 [Straczek, John. "The Royal Australian Navy: Ships, Aircraft and Shore Establishments", Navy Public Affairs, Sydney, 1996. ISBN 1-876-04378-4] to the Greek company Med Link Lines, which renamed the ship M/S "Agios Andreas" and operated her as a passenger ferry in the Mediterranean. She was sold in 2003 to Ajman lines renamed M/S "Ajman Leader" and operated in the Persian Gulf out of Dubai. She was sold in 2004 for scrap, renamed M/S "Ajman City" for the delivery voyage to Alang, India. She arrived at Alang in September 2004 where she was pulled up the beach and scrapped.
