HMAS Aitape (P 84)
HMAS ''Aitape'' (P 84) was an ''Attack'' class patrol boat of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). It was named for the small town of Aitape, Sandaun Province, Papua New Guinea. Completed in 1967, the vessel was one of five assigned to the RAN's Papua New Guinea (PNG) Division. The patrol boat was transferred to the Papua New Guinea Defence Force in 1974 as HMPNGS ''Aitape''. She remained active until 1982, when she was removed from service for use as a parts hulk. ''Aitape'' was scuttled off Port Moresby for use as a dive wreck in 1995.
