Two ships of the Royal Australian Navy have borne the name Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland.
The first HMAS Brisbane was a Town class cruiser.
HMAS Brisbane (D-41) was a Charles F. Adams class guided missile destroyer laid down by the Defoe Shipbuilding Company at Bay City in Michigan on 15 February 1965, launched on 5 May 1966 and commissioned on 16 December 1967. Brisbane served as plane guard for carriers on Yankee Station in the Tonkin Gulf, participated in Sea Dragon and Market Time operations, patrolled on search and rescue duties and carried out gunfire support missions during the conflict in Vietnam. HMAS Brisbane paid off on 19 October 2001 and is to be sunk as a dive wreck off the coast of Queensland. Her bridge was removed and preserved at the Australian War Museum in Canberra.
