HMAS Phillip was a depot tender of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) between 1916 until 1921.[1]
Built in 1905 by Frederick Moore at Launceston, Tasmania and launched as Togo and used for passenger service by Broomby and Dent, Launceston.[2] She was bought by the RAN on 14 August 1916 for £7,500 and commissioned as HMAS Togo.[1] Initially purchased for use as a tug, she was used as a depot tender for Flinders Naval Depot. She was used from October 1917 as a minesweeping training ship for the Naval Brigade. Togo was renamed HMAS Phillip in 1918 and was sold in 1921 and renamed Togo.[1][3]
