These include HMA Ships Jervis Bay, Success, Sydney, Manoora, Newcastle, and a short time on Parramatta.
In 2003 and 2005, then Chief Petty Officer Butterworth deployed on HMAS Newcastle for Operation Catalyst, the Australian assistance to the reconstruction and rehabilitation of Iraq.
[4] Success was an integral part of Operation Southern Indian Ocean, an activity to support the Australian Maritime Safety Authority to search for Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 in April 2014.
In 2014 Butterworth deployed to the Middle East and, upon return to Australia, she was awarded a Bar to her CSM in recognition of her service in Success.
She served in the role for three years, handing over to Warrant Officer Andrew Bertoncin on 16 December 2022, and was then commissioned in the rank of commander.
