HMAS Gull

HMAS Gull (M 1185) (formerly HMS Swanston) was a Ton-class minesweeper that served in the Royal Navy (RN) and Royal Australian Navy (RAN).

The ship was built by J. S. Doig Limited at Grimsby, England for the RN. The ship was commissioned as HMS Swanston.

The minesweeper was sold to the RAN in 1961, and was recommissioned as HMAS Gull on 19 July 1962.

During the mid-1960s, Gull was one of several ships operating in support of the Malaysian government during the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation. This service was later recognised with the battle honour "Malaysia 1964–66".

HMAS Gull paid off on 7 November 1969.
