Bertram-class air-sea rescue boat

The Bertram class was a two-ship class of air-sea rescue vessels of the Royal Australian Navy. Purchased to replace the old World War II class of 63-foot air-sea rescue vessel, they were found to be unsuitable for the proposed role. The vessels were subsequently employed as harbour personnel carriers and based at HMAS Waterhen (naval base). The vessels were disposed of in 1988.
