HMAS ''Una'' was a Royal Australian Navy sloop that began its life as the German motor launch ''Komet''. The ship and her 57 crew was captured by an infantry detachment of the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force led by John Paton on 9 October 1914, with no loss of life. ''Komet'' was then sailed to Sydney as a prize. During the time in which the ''Una'' was in service under Australia, the sloop was used as a Patrol and General Purpose Vessel. The sloop was used to patrol the areas of New Guinea, New Britain, New Hebrides and Malayan waters. 〔 N/A, ("H19476" ), "Australian War Memorial", 2014 〕 In December 1918, ''Una'' was sent to Darwin to protect Administrator John Gilruth, following the Darwin Rebellion. She arrived on Christmas Eve anchoring beneath the Government House cliffs until arrived in early 1919.〔Rosenzweig, Paul (1996).

She was finally broken up in Melbourne in 1955. ==References== ;Notes ;Bibliography * (Papua New Guinea Association of Australia Library : SY ''Komet'' ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMAS Una」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
