Operational History
During 1978 and 1979, Bombard was one of two Attack class vessels used to portray the fictional HMAS Ambush for ABC drama series Patrol Boat. For this, Bombard's pennant number was changed to 83, to match the other patrol boat used, HMAS Advance.
Bombard paid off on 12 September 1983, was transferred to the Indonesian Navy and renamed KRI Siribua.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
