HMAS Parramatta is visiting Hobart for Navy Week and the Royal Hobart Regatta. As she entered the Derwent she was joined by an RAN A-109 Power twin engined training helicopter. This was Parramatta's first visit to Hobart since being fitted with Harpoon anti ship missiles. Canisters for these can be seen forward of the bridge and aft of the 127mm main gun.
