Reason for no HMAS prefix?
Just to answer my curiosity, can someone explain why no HMAS prefix for this ship? Was it not commissioned into the RAN? Or is there some other reason? —

I don't think that she was ever commissioned -
this Navy news article says that she was 'obtained' by the RAN rather than commissioned.

MSA (Minesweeper Auxiliaries) were civilian ships initially acquired by the RAN to cover the gap between the failed
Bay class minehunters and the acquisition of the
Huon class minehunters (although some are still in service to supplement inshore minesweeping). They were never commissioned, so do not carry the HMAS prefix. --

Is Touaraken the same ship?
While updating this article, I came across a few fragments of information indicating that this ship may now be operating out of Port Vila, Fiji as MV Touaraken. Can anyone confirm this, andor confirm the reliability of ahttp://www.shipspotting.com/ships/ship.php?imo=7532662 Shipspotting.com page] as a source? --
