About HMAS Poyang
HMAS Poyang (FY-20) was a 2,873-ton former steamer that was commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) during the Second World War. It was one of a group of vessels known as the "China Fleet", which were acquired by the RAN in similar circumstances. Built in 1941 for the China Steam Navigation Company, Poyang was acquired by the RAN in 1942, and commissioned into naval service at the end of 1943. Poyang operated with the RAN until 1946, when she was decommissioned and returned to her owners. The ship changed hands several times between 1963 and 1965, and operated under the names Bali Steer and Rosalina. The vessel was scrapped in 1970.
