HMAS Diamantina, River-class frigate at Queensland Maritime Museum, Australia

The HMAS Diamantina measures 91.9 meters long and features two triple expansion engines that powered twin screws at 5,500 indicated horsepower.

The frigate transported officers to multiple Japanese surrender ceremonies in 1945, including those at Torokina, Nauru, and Ocean Island during World War II.

The vessel serves as an educational center where visitors examine naval operations, military technology, and maritime traditions of the Royal Australian Navy.

The Queensland Maritime Museum provides guided tours through multiple decks of the ship, including the bridge, engine room, and living quarters.

During oceanographic research missions in 1960, the ship discovered the deepest known section of the Indian Ocean, now named Diamantina Deep.
