- Australian Navy is plan to doubling its fleet, becoming largest in its history. The total cost of the Australian plan over the next 10 years is estimated at 54.2 billion dollars. This amazing budget will significantly boost the shipbuilding industry in South Australia and Western Australia.

It's not bad. But I wished they added a few heavily armed Destroyers in with this fleet earlier rather than wait till after the hunter class get built before deciding to replace the F100 class destroyers. I have a inside information that RAN is looking at the Navantia flight III 128 cell VLS destroyers as a future vessel replacement for the F100 class. But at this stage, it only still remains on paper as a prototypes. The announcement of the F100 class replacement will be sometime in 2035.. there be grey hairs on my head by then too
Unfortunately, you can’t buy heavily armed destroyers off the shelf from the local Bunnings hardware store … it will take time and we will have to make up for the time waster by the last government with “going nowhere” projects like the Attack Class submarines …
This excludes 350 billion on nuke subs + the subs themselves ( 9) makes 35 combat vessels but excludes patrol boats and other vessels. 25 of these make it 60 plus Auxilliary. vessels and , if as one would anticipate some life extension of current vessels is also taken into account then maybe around 70/80 excluding supply , landing, etc., It would be nice if they spent an extra 50 billion - which is affordable - and acquired 3 real sircraft carriers , 3 extra ( only better) Juan Carlos class as well and an exra 5 or 6 frigates/missile destroyers. THEN i would be a respected Navy......AS LONG AS IT HAS TIME TO DO IT!...it needs to do it, because it may RUN OUT OF TIME!
Will the Australian Navy be able to compete with the Bangladesh Navy is more the question....
This is all hypothetical, what Australia needs is 12 Hunters, 12 Type 83's and 12 Astutes. By this coming Friday.
Or , everyone should start learning Cantonese.

Or build a Navy
Australian Navy must have three times stronger protecting people in Australia very strong defence against terrisom allover the world
So its taken us 80 years to become a stronger force
It's "Royal Australian Navy". Hence the RAN acronym.
If the past is any guide procrastination will be the order of the day/ year/ decades.
What does ‘optionally crewed’ mean?
Can operate without crew.
It means they have the option to crew it, but they don't have to crew it if they don't want to
The US ships they are being modelled on are being developed by the USA. They have a minimal crew and can operate without a crew if necessary (eg when they are going into a high threat situation).
Means they will have a mobile missile laden platform floating offshore relaying on AI.
Sounds good.
About time the government is spending money on defence. We have one of the largest coastlines in the world which is woefully under protected. It will greatly enhance our patrolling capabilities and defence. We will be able to protect OUR fisheries from poachers which are stripping our reefs of seafood and stop illegal immigrants from entering our waters. Just wish it had happened sooner than later .........
Personally i have always respected the Royal Australian Navy.
Once a jolly swagman…….
A very slow upgrade the submarine fleet is U/S and no real date for upgrade total joke.
Why did the goverment not send a ship to the Red Sea....
bwahahahahahahahahaha
stralya cant even put half its old junkers to sea and the "new" ships are 40 years away and will be redundant before they are even made. But will never get made anyway.
So now Marles, who also is Deputy PM - another Albanese FUBAR - has waited and waited for the 'second' Naval Review.
And what does it tell Australians? - a significant number of Tier 2 FFG's are to be acquired. Ok - given the stated options Defence/Russell should have a selected option by the end of this year - but just watch how Russell mismanage this process - and slow walk it.
We have several options 'green to go' - yet Marles' made 0 effort to put his boot up Russell and to get a fast tracked decision.
Benchmark Australian defence processes against Korea, Japan, Germany and Spain - we are a total disgrace.
And just when even I thought Russell could not f#ck up even more - we learn, not via a Ministerial Statement - that the NH90's are being buried?
China is looking on and laughing. Even the woke Biden administration must also be scratching their collective heads.
And the reality is despite a change of government - nothing ever changes.
Peter Dutton as Min Def made a 'small' headway - but just prior to the last election Senate Estimates uncovered that the MQ Reaper acquisition was to be canceled - wasting years of ADF personnel being trained in the US. Housed, salaries paid, allowances - you just cannot make this s#it up.
