HMAS Sirius (formerly MT Delos) is a commercial tanker that was purchased by the Royal Australian Navy and converted into a fleet replenishment vessel to replace HMAS Westralia. Delos was built at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in South Korea and was purchased by the Australian Government on completion. Delos was converted to her new role at Fremantle and was commissioned into the RAN on 16 September 2006. Sirius is expected to remain in service for approximately 15 years.
