Northern Trident 2009
HMAS Sydney and HMAS Ballarat will set sail on 20 April 2009 on Operation Northern Trident 2009, an exciting six month international deployment, visiting ports in selected Western European, North American and West and North Asian countries.
This ‘trip of a lifetime’ will give both ships an excellent opportunity to enhance their core mariner and warfare skills when they exercise with foreign Navies such as India, Italy, France, Spain, UK, Canada, United States, Trinidad and Tobago, Bahamas, Panama and Mexico.
Deployment highlights will include a visit to New York, Baltimore and Norfolk in reciprocation of the 2008 United States Navy (USN) Great White Fleet celebrations in Australia. Both ships will also pay a special visit to Ferrol, Spain (the home of Navantia Shipbuilding) to see first hand the development of the Royal Australian Navy’s highly anticipated new Landing Helicopter Dock ships.
