Hi Bert
Official designation for commissioned Australian warships is HMAS (His/Her Majesties Australian Ship). Uncommissioned ships now use the designation of ADFS until intergration with the fleet.
HMAS Vendetta (1) was a V&W Class destroyer, she served with distinction during WW2.
My father very rarely ever spoke about the sinking of HMAS Canberra, he suffered a lot of PTSD later in life.
Cheers
