Australia as a nation did not exist when the First Fleet arrived - it was called either Terra Australis, New Holland or New South Wales. In consequence there was no Australian Navy (that came in 1911, 123 years later). Two Royal Navy ships were part of the First Fleet - HMS Sirius and HMS Supply.
Captain Arthur Phillip was initially on the HMS Sirius, which was the leading ship of the First Fleet. In November 1787, a month after leaving the Cape of Good Hope, he transferred to the HMS Supply, leaving the Sirius under his second-in-command, Captain John Hunter.The Supply was a smaller and faster ship, so as the Fleet rounded Van Diemen's Land, Phillip forged ahead to form an advance party with the Alexander, Scarborough and Friendship.
This depends on what is meant by "largest". With a weight of 540 tones, the heaviest ship in the First Fleet was the naval vessel, Sirius. It was believed to be about 100ft long and 32 ft at the beam (its widest point).The largest of the transport ships was Alexander,weighing in at 452 tons and being 114 ft long and 31 ft at the beam.
