It was superseded in January 2022 by Guardian-class patrol boats under the Pacific Maritime Security Program.

[1] It was decommissioned and returned to Australia on 12 January 2022 in exchange for the new Guardian-class patrol boats that Micronesia would receive.

At the decommissioning ceremony, the president of Micronesia stated that the patrol boat along with its sister ship FSS Micronesia provided "the sovereign capability to conduct maritime surveillance and enforcement, as well as to assist our Nation with important missions ranging from Search & Rescue operations to disaster relief".

[4] In June 2010, the patrol boat had to be temporarily suspended from service for emergency repairs due to extensive corrosion.

A total fund of $78,000 was allocated for the repairs, as any lapse in the patrolling capability was deemed to be crippling to government services.
