The last ship, Wewak, left Brisbane on 2 January.
On 27 December, Hobart, Stalwart, Supply, and Vendetta left Sydney, while Brunei and Tarakan sailed from Brisbane. That day, HMA Ships Balikpapan and Betano departed from Brisbane, Flinders sailed from Cairns, while Melbourne (with Rear Admiral Wells aboard), Brisbane, and Stuart left Sydney. The first RAN units to arrive in Darwin were two HS 748 aircraft from 851 Squadron RAN on 26 December one carrying Red Cross members and blood transfusion equipment, the other transporting Clearance Diving Team 1 (CDT1). Hundreds of tons of relief stores were embarked for transport. All personnel on annual leave were recalled the vast majority responding before their ship sailed, while ships' companies were filled out by volunteers from shore bases and the ships unable to sail. RAN response Deployment Īs the scope of the disaster became known, the RAN began to assemble a task force under the command of Flag Officer Commanding Australian Fleet, Rear Admiral David Wells. Four Attack class patrol boats were based in Darwin Advance and Assail were able to weather the cyclone with minor damage, but Attack was forced aground, and Arrow sank after colliding with Stokes Hill Wharf, killing two personnel and bringing the death toll to 65. The oil fuel supply installation and naval communications station at HMAS Coonawarra were also damaged. Of the RAN assets in Darwin, the Naval Headquarters was destroyed, as were large sections of the patrol boat base and the married quarters. 49 people ashore were killed, along with 14 civilians on vessels in the harbour and nearby waters. Darwin was destroyed: only 408 of the city's 10,000 structures remained undamaged.
