They were then classed as Q class anti-sub frigates , type 15 . Despite being remodelled and lots of money spent, they didn't last long in service , 4-5 years and they were put into reserve to eventually await sale in the early 60's . The Queenborough escaped and lasted til 1972

The HMAS Tobruk was a Battle class destroyer launched 1950 , built at Cockatoo dockyard . Its career was short also , into training role in the early 1960's. In 1960 Tobruk was hit by a 4.5 inch shell fired by her sister ANZAC ( red faces ensued I'm sure ) during gunnery exercise off Jervis Bay . Sold 1972 to Japan for scrap.
