The MV Sycamore is a vessel built to support the Royal Australian Navy by Netherlands shipbuilders The Damen Group. She was built in Damen's shipyard in Vietnam, delivered to Australia, for her sea trials, in 2017, and was accepted on April, 20, 2017
The Sycamore's design is based on that of the Damen OPV 2400 design, a design for a 2400 tonne "Offshore Patrol Vessel". The RAN classes the Sycamore as a "multi-role aircraft training vessel", and she is equipped with a flight deck, allowing a single helicopter to land.
She is 94 metres (308 ft) long. In 2014, her design called for her to be capable of 23 knots (43 km/h). Her design called for her to be able to carry 60 people. She has a multi-use space, which can be configured to help cope with disasters.
The RAN will not own the vessel, they will lease it. The company that owns the vessel, DMS Maritime, will provide a civilian crew to operate the vessel. Military personnel will provide the actual training.
"Sycamore" is equipped with a Terma Scanter Radar with a DBHG stabilized antenna and Terma C-Flex for support of the training mission of the vessel
Sycamore completed sea trials in April 2017.
