Vampire II — Commonwealth Special Tier X Destroyer.

After World War II, Australia started building four destroyers designed on the basis of the most advanced British destroyer—Daring. HMAS Vampire II was laid down in July 1952 and named after her war-period predecessor. She differed from her British prototype with her specialized guns designed for operation in tropical waters. During the period from 1970 to 1972, the destroyer was equipped with the most advanced electronic equipment, and in 1979, she became a training ship. In 1990, Vampire II was transformed into a museum ship.
