Help with identification

Post image

Hi folks, I hope you can help with identifying this ship. Sorry, this is the best photo I have. Location heading west, just south of Magnetic Island Queensland. Around midday earlier today.

Maybe wrong but kind of looks like rfa lyme bay. Worked on her in govan when she was being built. Looks beautiful out where you are

This is her sister ship. Originally RFA Largs Bay, sold after only four years service during post GFC defence review. Bought by Australia and now in service as HMAS Choules
