HMAS Adroit (P 82) was an Attack-class patrol boat of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).

[1][2] Their propulsion machinery consisted of two 16-cylinder Paxman YJCM diesel engines, which supplied 3,460 shaft horsepower (2,580 kW) to the two propellers.

[1][2] The ships were designed with as many commercial components as possible: the Attacks were to operate in remote regions of Australia and New Guinea, and a town's hardware store would be more accessible than home base in a mechanical emergency.

[4] The patrol boat was transferred to the Fremantle Port Division of the Royal Australian Navy Reserve in March 1983.

[citation needed] The patrol boat was sunk as a target by A-4 Skyhawk aircraft of No.
