Australia-Japan Defense Deal: New Frigates for Royal Navy
Description
Australia and Japan ink a major defense deal, securing the first three general purpose frigates from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. These upgraded Mogami-class ships, set to join the Royal Australian Navy in 2029, will kickstart a significant fleet upgrade. The deal aligns with a broader strategy to replace aging Anzac-class ships and enhance maritime protection. The frigates, boasting impressive specs, will be built in Japan initially, with later models produced in Australia, creating thousands of jobs over two decades. This agreement marks a significant step in deepening defense ties and bolstering Australias naval capabilities.
