Bandicoot-class minesweeper
The ''Bandicoot'' class is a ship class of two minesweeper tugboats operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). MSA ''Bandicoot'' (Y 298) and MSA ''Wallaroo'' (Y 299) were built in 1982 for Maritime (PTE) Ltd. as the tugboats ''Grenville VII'' and ''Grenville V''. In 1990, the RAN purchased the vessels for conversion into auxiliary minesweepers under the Craft of Opportunity Program (COOP). The vessels can be equipped with a sidescan sonar and various towed minesweeping arrays, and also function as berthing tugs. Both vessels were placed in reserve in 2010, but have deployed on several occasions since to provide berthing support to nuclear-powered warships.
