Australia's first Hobart-class AWD starts sea trials

Will they have a traditional ramming of allied vessels?

Any news on what design is being considered with the Anzac replacement?

There's more hope for the Type 26.

>BAE Systems has won a contract from the Australia to further refine its design of the Type 26 Global Combat Ship (GCS) for the country’s Navy under the SEA 5000 (Future Frigate) program.

Looks like we might have a winner.

Here's the Aussie version CGI.

Equipping your destroyer with American systems and your frigate with British systems seems sorta odd honestly.

The T26 uses the same silos for the same munitions possibilities. Mk41 just the same. So it will be able to use ESSM and whatnot else.

Check out this one of the Canadian version to see the Mk41 only look, compared to the Brit one with both CAMM silos and Mk41's.

They only do that with carriers, if you have an Aust Navy carrier in your neighbourhood the cunt will ram everything.

>AEGIS
>only 3 of them

Why would anyone do that? Have fun in a saturation attack with those mechanically steered illumination radars, kek

>>31374223
They're enough to defend against their neighbors. The only ones with the ability to threaten them is China, and in that case they'd most likely slot into American CSGs.

>>31374743

Exactly, people on /k/ don't tend to get that. In any situation that an allied ship would be overwhelmed it would be part of a task group.

Those 2 masts make it ugly

>>31375608

I like twin mast design

>>31377457
Not much to talk about. It's a mini-Burke.

>>31377457

Good bump

>>31377465
Thanks for the bump

Why not?

>>31377989

The Spanish mini-burkes?

>>31377989
That's what the Australian ships are based off of aren't they?

Seems like the Spanish F100 (or F110) is the one with more opportunities

Fuckin aussies.

Yeah, only minor differences like;


More efficient and powerful diesel engines coupled with improved fuel tank arrangements will provide increased range,

The inclusion of a bow thruster will improve manoeuvrability in harbours;

Improvements to underway replenishment arrangements for manpower efficiencies;

Changes to funnel tops to improve the ship’s air wake;

Bunk size increases to improve habitability.
