HMAS Sydney (IV) was an Adelaide class frigate laid down on 21 August 1980, launched 26 September 1980 and commissioned 29 January 1983 and is the fourth ship to bear the name. During her career, the frigate has been involved in Operation Morris Dance and INTERFET, and has been deployed to the Persian Gulf on several occasions. She was the first ship to undergo the FFG Upgrade, which included the installation of updated Harpoon and Standard missiles. In 2009, the ship undertook a round-the-world voyage. In its final years Sydney was maintained as a moored training ship before being decommissioned in 2015.
