Commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy in 1967 the HMAS Brisbane was a 133 metre, Charles F Adams Class DDG, guided missile destroyer. Over 34 years of service, till she was decommissioned in 2001, she served in both the Vietnam and Gulf wars .

n January 2003, the Queensland Government agreed to accept the decommissioned HMAS Brisbane from the Commonwealth Government for sinking off the Sunshine Coast as an artificial reef and dive site. After extensive and careful preparation, the ship was towed for its last journey to the Sunshine Coast and scuttled on 31 July 2005 at a site 2.8 nautical miles east of Mudjumba Island off the Sunshine Coast. The wreck now serves as a world-class artificial reef and diving site. 

Scuttled in mid 2005 as an artificial reef, the former destroyer, ex HMAS Brisbane is attracting a growing number of divers from around the country and around the world. Being on a sandy floor in 27 metres of water, she seems to be in the perfect diving spot. Sitting bolt upright the HMAS Brisbane has 12 to 15 metres of water over her forward decks and 18 metres over her stern. Consistently good water clarity and minimal swell makes for great diving.
