HMAS Cairns (naval base)
HMAS ''Cairns'' is a naval base of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) located in Cairns, Queensland. Although used regularly as a port-of-call since before World War II, a permanent RAN presence was not established until 1971, when a maintenance and support base for patrol boats was set up. This was formally commissioned in 1971 as a minor war vessel base.
HMAS ''Cairns'' is responsible for all Australian naval activity off north-eastern Australia, and is the home base for ''Ardent'' Division of the Australian Patrol Boat Group, the ships of the Royal Australian Navy Hydrographic Service, and several ''Balikpapan'' class landing craft.
==History==

''Cairns'' is currently responsible for all Australian naval activity from Rockhampton to Thursday Island and serves as the home base for ''Ardent'' Division of the Australian Patrol Boat Group, which consists of four of the navy's fourteen ''Armidale'' class patrol boats.〔 The base also berths the RAN's entire hydrographic fleet, consisting of two ''Leeuwin'' class survey vessels and four ''Paluma'' class survey motor launches, plus four of the six ''Balikpapan'' class landing craft.〔 ''Cairns'' also has operational responsibility for the LADS Flight based at Cairns Airport.
