Australia handed over a Guardian-class patrol boat to the government of Vanuatu in a ceremony held at the facilities of shipbuilder Austal in Henderson, Western Australia, on 30 July: the Pacific island nation's Independence Day.
The vessel, which has been named RVS Takuare , is one of 21 boats of the class being given by Canberra to 12 Pacific Island Nations and Timor-Leste as part of Australia's Pacific Patrol Boat Replacement (also known as Sea 3036) project.
