Maybe the German's can save the RAN

Brochure shopping for the day...




Also note the reference to SEA 5000.

Take a look at slide 15.

A lot to take in here. Sea-swap every four months for the crews. This means you could send one off to the Middle East for 2 years (including there-and-back-travel). Assuming Mr. PowerPoint delivers on the sustainment claims.

Warning: this ship is more useful than a defective Air Warfare Destroyer. Almost 200 crew and not so hot on the "air warfare". Defective design and support concepts.

Would rather get rid of the Air Warfare Destroyers and just have the German things. And no I don't feel the Air Warfare Destroyer or Canberra-class give me anything I want, except grief.

But yes, nice brochure.
