Wikipedia data:
Bandicoot and Wallaroo were built by Mipe Shipbuilding for Singaporean company Maritime (PTE) Ltd. as the tugboats Grenville VII and Grenville V, and entered service in 1982.[1][2] The two tugboats were purchased by the RAN for the Craft of Opportunity Program (COOP) on 3 and 8 August 1990, and were delivered on 11 August 1990.[1] The tugboats underwent conversion to serve as auxiliary minesweepers, with modifications completed by mid-1991.[2]
Each vessel displaced 412 tonnes at full load, was 29.6 metres (97 ft) in length, had a beam of 8.5 metres (28 ft), and a draught of 3.4 metres (11 ft).[1] Propulsion machinery consisted of two Stork Werkspoor diesel engines, each connected to a propeller shaft.[1] Maximum speed was 11 knots (20 km/h; 13 mph), and range was 6,300 nautical miles (11,700 km; 7,200 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph).[1] They were equipped with a Furuno 7040D I-band navigational radar.[1] The ships initially had a towing capacity rated at a bollard pull of 30 tons, but this was removed during the COOP conversion.[2] Ten to twelve personnel were required to operate each ship.[1][2]
