Description

Captain Peter Lockwood, Commanding Officer of HMAS ANZAC, having walked down the gangway and onto the quayside at Victoria Quay, Fremantle, at a homecoming ceremony for the return of the ANZAC from the Persian Gulf and Iraq. HMAS ANZAC [III] left Australia for the Persian Gulf on 28 October 2002, under Operation Slipper, Australia’s contribution to the international fight against terrorism, to participate in the Multinational Interception Force enforcing UN sanctions against Iraq. The ship was then assigned to Operation Bastille, the build-up of Australian forces against Iraq, in January 2003, and then to Operation Falconer, Australia’s contribution to the war on Iraq, in March 2003. During this deployment, the ANZAC became the first Navy ship to fire her guns in combat since the Vietnam war.
