HMAS "Acute" (P 81) was an "Attack" class patrol boat laid down by Evans Deakin and Company at Brisbane in Queensland, launched on 26 August 1967 and commissioned on 26 April 1968.

HMAS "Acute" was predominantly used for training of RAN Reserve personnel at Fremantle, Western Australia. Whilst on a training cruise in May, 1983, "Acute" apprehended two Taiwanese fishing boats engaged in illegal fishing. This was the first such operation involing RANR personnel.
