HMAS Warramunga earned honours in the Pacific, New Guinea, Leyte Gulf, Lingayen Gulf, Borneo, and Korea before joining the Far East Strategic Reserve. Her participation in Southeast Asia Treaty Organization exercises places a Second World War destroyer inside the region's emerging Cold War security structure. Her mixed gun, torpedo, light anti-aircraft, and depth-charge fit combined high speed with limited endurance at that speed. Warramunga's career follows the class from wartime strike and escort duties into alliance presence and exercises.
