Port side, stern view of the Ton Class coastal minesweeper, HMAS Teal, which was part of the 16th Minesweeping Squadron (note 16 on funnel). HMAS Teal had a displacement of 360 tons, a maximum speed of 15 knots and her crew consisted of three officers and thirty ratings. She was armed with two 40 mm Bofors guns and was commanded by Lieutenant Keith 'Gus' Murray, DSC. On 13 December 1964 whilst operating as part of the Singaporean Straits patrol, HMAS Teal was fired upon by an unlit Indonesian vessel, which then turned, heading for Indonesian waters. Teal pursued and arrested the vessel following another exchange of gunfire which resulted in the deaths of three Indonesians. For his coolness and judgment during this and a previous action, Lt Murray was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.
