HMAS Brisbane conducted an air warfare serial off the coast of Queensland as part of Exercise Talisman Sabre 2021 (TS21). The 'Detect to Engage' activity involved two F/A-18 Classic Hornets overfly the ship in different profiles, to test the Hobart Class guided missile destroyers' responses to incoming missiles or aircraft.

Held every two years, TS21 is the largest bilateral training activity between Australia and the United States, aimed to test Australian interoperability with the United States and other participating forces in complex warfighting scenarios. In addition to the United States, TS21 involves participating forces from Canada, Japan, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
