HMAS Bandolier (P 95) was an Attack-class patrol boat of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).
[1][2] 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.
[3] Bandolier was built by Walkers Limited at Maryborough, Queensland,[4] launched on 2 October 1968, and commissioned on 14 December 1968.
[4][5] The patrol boat listed in Jane's Fighting Ships was still operational in 2011.
