All Border Guard and Coast Guard ships of any nation should be armed. An unarmed ship is not much of a threat

🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩💪👍

We can have nuclear submarines but cant have nuclear power plants. What hypocrites this Socialist Party is

They are an embarrassment; a 60m ship that can not defend itself. An angry fishing boat could match the 2 x 50Cal machine guns provided in this barebones, baseline design. As a minimum a forward main gun akin to a Typhon mk30C RWS should be installed.

Hope they build them faster that the Frigates we will never get and maybe arm them.

Nice sales job. Is this a “ Show Boat “ or can it actually engage a military enemy successfuly on long Arctic military tours without US navy backup ? Just my opinion.

No milestones reached here as I see it …. This could be the most futuristic frigate ever a milestone would be the completion of a rr containerised nuclear power plant to be coupled with the futuristic laser technology weapons drones carrying say mu60 torpedoes ect ect well you get the picture

HMAS Hunter is currently under construction and isn’t expected to be commissioned until 2034…..That’s another 10 years!!

We should be building our own. It's called self reliance

If it ever happens .... chances are the Government will change their mind AGAIN and nothing but a waste of time will occur. The poor old Collins Class subs are going to be fucking antiques be the time we get AUKUS subs.

This is not news, as the very limited and lack of detail mentioned is already in the public domain.

I am a Master Mariner, saw an advert from Federal Fleet Services for a Tanker Chief Officer. Pay was only $80K. Going rate for a Tanker Chief Officer is $130K. Factor in income taxes we have to pay here and take home is less than my Filipino 2/Off was banking. Pay 3rd world wages cannot expect first world people. No thank you I will stay operating my own small business here.

A nightmare of woke and political correctness to work on that ship. Crew spends all their time in diversity training class instead of learning to operate the the ship.

Click bait

:D Poor Aussies.

Overpriced American rubbish

Its one of the best shipyards in north America folks. Get used to it we will be building ships here for years to come.

Our brother retired Canadian Navy served on both ships before they were retired. He was the one who told me that yes they will reuse the names of the ships for new ships. Something I did not know.❤🇨🇦❤

This is not the planned completion of the F35 fleet as portrayed here. We were to acquire another 28 F35 aircraft to make up a fleet of 100 but this government has made wide arching cutbacks across the ADF including these planned aircraft, but also within the Army ( 450 armoured fighting vehicles to 130 ), nine Hunter Class frigates to six, etc etc. They would portray this as an accomplishment, a success, a victory by a responsible government, whilst they divert funds elsewhere. The Defence budget not only stagnates but shrinks below 2% of GDP under their ‘management’, but their propaganda machine would have you believe otherwise. Yes they have promised the world, more frigates, more missiles, etc - but you should ignore what they say and watch closely what they do. Watch the where the dollars go!

So much negativity. I am a merchant marine engineer by trade, and if I were young again I would definitely apply to the navy. It seems like the next 20 years are going to be pretty interesting, with at least 3 major programs overlapping one another. Has that ever happened in the post war years? I hope young people do sign up and crew these ships. Challenging days ahead for us all.

The Lieberals have no intention of actually building a modern fleet. Mr Dress-Up, the PM, just wants a couple of photo ops and to do a little posturing. The Military is just too nasty for a socially conscious feminist like him.

An Irving project. How much of the treasure made it's way to the Trudeau Foundation?

❤

Congrats! You built some large useless tug boats. Now let's get busy building some fighting ships with some actual offensive capabilities. Our Government really needs to get these patrol ships back into a ship yard and arm them asap.

You mean to tell me that there isn't a single weapon on board that vessel???!!! Sitting ducks!!!

Goof infrastructure projects.

Why do we keep charging ship designs. 3 here, 6 there Do what the yanks do build one design and keep pumping them out like the Airleigh Burke destroyers

32 vlc what a joke

How many years behind are these ships already cut back to a few ships.

Australia faces significant challenges in strengthening its defence capabilities. Despite its size and resources, the nation struggles to build a fleet quickly enough, compounded by slow and cumbersome recruitment processes. Additionally, there is a notable shortage of accommodation for Australian Defence Force (ADF) members, which further hampers retention and readiness. The Department of Defence prioritises administrative and cultural initiatives, such as renaming bases to First Nations names or marking annual events, over core defence capabilities. For example, contracting out base security for $1.4 billion when ADF members could achieve this and participating in events like the Sydney Mardi Gras are often cited as significant milestones from the primary mission of national security. In light of growing regional threats, such as China’s increasing assertiveness, it is critical that Australia’s defence policies and priorities shift towards building a robust, war-ready force to ensure the nation’s safety and sovereignty. Sadly Australia is challenged with a woke government who employ a woke public service whose mission is desk top bound and work shop based. It will be our down fall.

There seems to be intended ambiguity about the number of VLS cells being installed in the Hunter Class. Some say it’s just 32 with eight NSM, some say 32 in front of the bridge and 32 in a reduced multimission bay, and the images shown here are of the upgraded variant offered by BAE systems which is has two banks of VLS, 32 & 64, with 16 NSM. Someone is either having us believe the Hunter Class has an Arleigh Burke AWD capability or we’re being intentionally misguided. Please elaborate on the truth.

Great Video. I have been watching the Hunter Class Frigates/Destroyers for some time. Here are a couple of all-new Australian songs for you for Christmas: th-cam.com/video/GpxfPrj4dVM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/DBpLhp-QyLE/w-d-xo.html

Good glad to hear it

I thought that a task force converted air craft carrier would have been better. The flight deck has cranes so that it can unload almost any where.

Obligatory “we need more sooner” comment…

Where is its 20mm Phalanx CIWS? How about a missile launcher? Not even 1 littoral RCN vessel can.properly defend itsrlf. Others here harp about armaments upgrade. Right Now Canada has two minesweepers Bsltic Sea snd two more off tense shores of Tsiwan. Total defensive deck guns?? Two WW2 machine guns in circa 1939 pedastal mounts. WTF Edit: Indonesian navy just bought brand new similar sized minesweepers armed with a 27mm Mauser auto-cannon. Also 2 missile launchers. Whats wrong with Admirsl Topsail of RCN??? Since ending of 1991 Gulf War pretend admirals have poisoned our navy from internal rot and bowing to bean counters. Careerists. Not leaders. Only fit for pretend training police constables in now failed states.

A boat that belongs in the Coast Guard and not in any navy

Robert Hampton Gray , pride of British Columbia ❤

Not a ship expert but this looks like a converted freighter of old. Smaller and faster would be the way to go.

Well holy crap, it’s even got a gun! 😂

I am glad they are keeping these names.

The Dutch royal navy is developping an exact same kind of ship. 10K tons, AA oriented and so on. Why not design and build this together?

0:20 A brand new AOP with lots of rust. Thank you.

A ship that can't defend it's self .

With a 1 year warranty. Lol. Check it out,
