HMAS Australia

One ship of the Royal Navy and two ships of the Royal Australian Navy have borne the name "Australia":

*The first, HMS "Australia" was an Orlando class cruiser of the Royal Navy completed in 1888 and scrapped in 1905.

* The second, HMAS "Australia" was an "Indefatigable" class battlecruiser launched in 1911, shortly after the formation of the Royal Australian Navy and sunk in 1924 in accordance with the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty.

*The third, HMAS "Australia" was a "County" class heavy cruiser launched in 1927 and broken up in 1956.

*The British aircraft carrier HMS "Invincible" was to be sold to Australia in 1982 and renamed HMAS "Australia". This sale was cancelled due to the Falklands War.
