Two AK-47s seized by the Royal Australian Navy during Operation MANITOU were presented to the Australian War Memorial to maintain the historic record of Defence’s contributions in the Middle East.
The weapons were intercepted by HMAS Darwin off the coast of Oman in March 2016, when she was conducting counter-terrorism and maritime security operations as part of the British-led Combined Task Force 150.
Commanding Officer Darwin Commander Phillip Henry said he was proud to be able to highlight the often unseen work of the Navy.
