HMAS Arunta

Two ships of the Royal Australian Navy have borne the name HMAS Arunta, a name derived from the Arrernte Aborigines of central Australia.

• HMAS Arunta (I30), a Tribal-class destroyer commissioned in 1942, which served during World War II. The ship remained in service until 1968, and sank while being towed to China for scrapping.
• HMAS Arunta (FFH 151), an Anzac-class frigate commissioned in 1998 and in active service as of 2012
