The AWD project will provide the Royal Australian Navy with one of the world's most capable multi-mission warships. In selecting the Spanish F100 as the baseline platform design, and coupling it with the Aegis Weapon System, the Australian Government has ensured tomorrow's Navy has the best equipment to defend Australia and its national interests.
In January 2006 the Government announced that the AWDs will be named HMAS Hobart, HMAS Brisbane and HMAS Sydney, ensuring the three ships reflect a rich history of service.
