It will be a not-so-subtle display of naval military might, and the most diverse armada of international warships ever to sail into Sydney Harbour.
Bristling with weaponry, some 21 nations will be represented in the October Fleet Review, including China by a Luhu Class destroyer, Qingdao.
Russia will send the RFS Vareyag cruiser capable of carrying long-range surface-to-air missiles and anti-submarine torpedoes. At 186 metres it will be the largest ship on the harbour.
Britain will send HMS Daring, a guided-missile destroyer and America will deploy the USS Chosin, a guided-missile cruiser.
All will assemble at Garden Island and across the Harbour marking the centenary of the first entry of the Royal Australian Navy's fleet into Sydney on October 4, 1913.
On that occasion tens of thousands of people lined the foreshore to greet the flagship, the first HMAS Australia, as Australia came of age with its own defence capability.

Omg there's going to be a lot of "well hello sailor" going on in the city in October
