== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} British motor gun boat {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Dance of Dragons"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Armour}}

''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.''

=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Mobility}}

''Write about the ship's mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward and reverse speed.''

=== Modifications and economy ===

== Armament ==
{{Specs-Fleet-Armaments}}
=== Primary armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Primary}}

{{main|QF Mark VII (40 mm)}}
''Provide information about the characteristics of the primary armament. Evaluate their efficacy in battle based on their reload speed, ballistics and the capacity of their shells. Add a link to the main article about the weapon: <code><nowiki>{{main|Weapon name (calibre)}}</nowiki></code>. Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.''

''Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. Secondary armaments are defined as weapons chosen with the control <code>Select secondary weapon</code>. Evaluate the secondary armaments and give advice on how to use them. Describe the ammunition available for the secondary armament. Provide recommendations on how to use them and which ammunition to choose. Remember that any anti-air armament, even heavy calibre weapons, belong in the next section. If there is no secondary armament, remove this section.''

{{main|Mk 2 mortar|AN-M2 (12.7 mm)}}
''An important part of the ship's armament responsible for air defence. Anti-aircraft armament is defined by the weapon chosen with the control <code>Select anti-aircraft weapons</code>. Talk about the ship's anti-air cannons and machine guns, the number of guns and their positions, their effective range, and about their overall effectiveness – including against surface targets. If there are no anti-aircraft armaments, remove this section.''

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don't try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===

''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} British motor gun boat {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Dance of Dragons"]].
+Launched in February 1979, HMAS Fremantle was the lead ship of a new class of large patrol craft purchased by the Australian government, initially designated the PCF 420 Class. Designed by Brooke Marine Ltd of Lowestoft in the United Kingdom, Fremantle was uniquely delivered under her own power, sailing from Lowestoft through the Suez Canal to Sydney, a journey of 26,871 km that was claimed to be the longest voyage ever made by an individual patrol vessel at the time. After commissioning in March 1980, she was based off Sydney and was initially joined by her sister ships Wollongong, Launceston, and Whyalla, which were later redeployed, leaving Fremantle as the sole vessel of her class in Sydney and eventually assigned to training duties. In 1993, she underwent modernisation with the addition of a domestically designed Type 133 PRISM ESM, enhancing her capabilities in radar warning and electronic signal intelligence. Throughout her 26-year service, Fremantle played a vital role in fisheries protection, immigration control, customs enforcement, and drug law enforcement, before being decommissioned in August 2006 and subsequently scrapped.

+In September 1977 Australian government decided to purchase a new class of large patrol craft, initially designated PCF 420 Class. The design was purchased from Brooke Marine Ltd, a relatively small shipbuilder from Lowestoft in United Kingdom who designed the class and built the HMAS Fremantle herself, passing on the production rights to the North Queensland Engineers and Agents Pty Ltd, Cairns, which made all the remaining vessels of the class.
