• HMAS Kanimbla (F23), a passenger liner launched in 1935, requisitioned by the Royal Navy as an armed merchant cruiser in 1939, converted into a RAN landing ship in 1943, and returned to owners in 1950
• HMAS Kanimbla (L 51), an amphibious transport ship acquired from the United States in 1994 and decommissioned in 2011
