Sea control for the ADF

Ships are targets. At the worst of times, their survivability in a real shooting war might not be long.

For a nation that spends way too much on its military and gets so little, the Skjold and NSM could help Australia by being:

1. Not too expensive.
2. Affordable in numbers.
3. Not too expensive to lose
4. Be a valuable player as part of the whole team for inflicting damage on anything that floats in our Northern area of concern.
5. One of the contributors to helping Australia spend less on the military, but still have killing power.
