You reckon the Redland Bay ferry might be a new QLD navy gunboat.
I don't think she went out in to international waters, she would have been tracked all the way from Melbourne via her AIS (Automatic identification system)

You can see where she is right now on Marine Traffic by clicking on the link below, It's a VHF based tracker but if you spend the money you can get the satellite subscription and follow AIS equipped vessels worldwide, AMSA/RCC and state based VTS (Vessel Traffic Service) have satellite tracking so would know exactly where she went, hence why what they did is to dumb for words...

^^^^^ zoom out to get an idea how busy the shipping world is....

HMQS Redland Bay



I've have Class B AIS on my own boat, you'll should get it for when you splash yours next
