These are similar to the RAN's Armidale class, but larger and which require a smaller crew.

there actually 8 of Cape class in service with the Oz Border force (kind of like the US coastguard....but if your trying to get in illegally your stuffed!) and two more building. These Two new ones are manned by the RAN due to shortfalls in availbility of Armidale class (they are thrashed....plus one Armidale burn't to a crisp in shipyard fire)
