==Construction==
''Torrens'' and sister ship were ordered in 1964 as replacements for , a destroyer lost following a collision with the aircraft carrier in 1964.〔Jeremey, in Stevens, ''The Navy and the Nation'', p. 197〕 Although intended to be the same as the previous River class ships (themselves based on the British Type 12 frigate), the design was changed from 1965 to incorporate many of the improvements of the British ''Leander'' class frigates.〔Jeremey, in Stevens, ''The Navy and the Nation'', pp. 197–8〕 Work on the two vessels started without specifications or a contract, and the evolving design meant changes were being made as the ships were being constructed, with resulting delays and cost increases attributed to a lack of planning.〔Jeremey, in Stevens, ''The Navy and the Nation'', p. 205〕
''Torrens'' was laid down by the Cockatoo Docks and Engineering Company Propriety Limited at Sydney, New South Wales on 18 August 1965. She was launched on 28 September 1968 by Dame Zara Holt, and commissioned into the RAN on 19 January 1971. ''Torrens'' was the last major war vessel built in an Australian shipyard until work commenced on in 1985.〔Jeremey, in Stevens, ''The Navy and the Nation'', p. 198〕
