On 4 January 1967, "Vampire" sailed for her seventh FESR tour. The destroyer provided assistance to the grounded freighter "Mata Thevi" in February, and from April until May, accompanied "Sydney" on the latter's fifth and sixth troop transport voyages. During the voyage back to Australia in late August and early September, "Vampire" made port visits in Indonesia; the first RAN ship to do so after the Confrontation's end. On arrival in Sydney, the destroyer was docked for a six-month refit. In July 1968, "Vampire" and other vessels of the RAN were involved in training exercises with the Royal New Zealand Navy. The destroyer visited Indonesia again in September, then served as review ship during a ceremonial fleet entry into Sydney Harbour: for this role, several weapons, including one of the three 4.5-inch turrets, were temporarily removed.
