HMAS Air Sprite
HMAS ''Air Sprite'' (Y 256/SAR 6301) was an air-sea rescue vessel operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). She was an Australian-built version of the air-sea rescue vessels which the RAN operated during World War II, with the only difference being that she was fitted with a lattice mast instead of the tripod masts in the older ships.〔 ''Air Sprite'' was ordered in 1958 and was built by Lars Halvorsen and Sons in Sydney.〔 She was commissioned into the RAN on 15 June 1960 and was based at HMAS ''Creswell'' at Jervis Bay near the RAN Fleet Air Arm's base, HMAS ''Albatross''.〔
On the night of 10 February 1964 ''Air Sprite'' was one of two air-sea rescue vessels which responded to the collision between HMAS ''Melbourne'' and ''Voyager'' in Jervis Bay. ''Air Sprite'' rescued 36 ''Voyager'' crewmen and HMAS ''Air Nymph'' saved a further 34.
In 1976 ''Air Sprite'' was laid up at HMAS ''Kuttabul'' in Sydney for a major refit, which was scheduled for mid-1977, prior to being used as a general purpose vessel in Western Australia.〔 This refit did not go ahead, and instead the ship was marked for disposal.〔 ''Air Sprite'' was sunk as a target by a Tartar missile fired by HMAS ''Brisbane'' on 17 May 1979.
