Commanding Officer HMAS Farncomb Commander Barry Carmichael oversees the submarine&#039;s departure from Fleet Base East, Sydney, on 17 January for a training evolution. The Collins-class submarine  is currently attached to Fleet Base East as part of the Submarine Squadron&#039;s commitment to keeping a presence on the east coast. As well as maintaining relations with the surface fleet based at Fleet Base East, HMAS Farncomb will also conduct a maintenance period before departing later this year.
