<p>Dear Platform Group,<br /><br />Additional information has come in for the vessel <a href='http://www.ices.dk/datacentre/requests/Default.aspx?id=350' target='_blank'>DERWENT</a> from AUSTRALIA.<br /><br /><HR /><br /><br />Code : 09DE<br />Name : <a href='http://www.ices.dk/datacentre/requests/Default.aspx?id=350' target='_blank'>DERWENT</a><br />Flag : AUSTRALIA - AU (ISO Country Code)<br />Call Sign : VKCV<br />Title : HMAS<br />Platform Class : Naval vessel<br />Pennant : 49<br />Commissioned Date : 1964-04-30<br />Decommissioned Date : 1994-08-08<br />Current Length : 112.8<br />Built : 1961-04-17<br />Notes : Pennants F22, DE22, and 49<br /><br /><b>Additional Information Sources:</b><br /><br /> - http://www.navy.gov.au/HMAS_Derwent<br /><HR /><br /><b>General Comments:</b><br /><br />The pennant number of HMAS Derwent was initially F22 in 1964. This was later changed to DE22, with the prefix standing for Destroyer Escort. On 1 January 1969, the Royal Australian Navy adopted the numbering practice used by the US, Canadian and Pakistan Navies, removing the pennant number letter prefix from its ships' hulls. Derwent's pennant number thus became 49.<br />(Marilynn Sorensen 22/02/2012 00:00:00)<br /><br /><br /><HR /><br />Kind regards,<br />The ICES Data Centre<br /><br />International Council for the Exploration of the Sea <br />Email: accessions@ices.dk<br />Web: http://www.ices.dk<br /><br />Tel: +45 3338 6718 Fax: +45 3393 4215<br />H.C.
