Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy says Labor’s plan for the Australian Navy “more than doubles” the number of surface combatants which will be available to Australia.
The Royal Australian Navy, after the completion of the additional vessels, will hold three Hobart class air warfare destroyers, six Hunter class frigates (reduced from nine), 11 new ‘off-the-shelf design’ general purpose frigates and six new large optionally crewed surface vessels to boost the long-range strike capacity, which also has autonomous capabilities.
“Last week’s announcement by the Deputy Prime Minister and myself was the most consequential announcement for the surface fleet of the Navy since World War Two,” he said during Question Time on Monday.
“It’s not just more vessels, it’s getting them faster.
“Under the plan of those opposite when they were in power, we would have had one additional surface combatant vessel by 2034 – under our plan we’ll have four.”

War mongering? That thing the left have spent the majority of the 21st century targeting the right about?
China 🇨🇳
We see this as a threat to our sovereignty 😂
ATTENTION!!
Masks cause horrendous pollution that hurts our environment very much. Google :Face mask litter increased almost 9000 percent!
Who will they protect us from, our own derelict immigrant appeasing limp wristed rainbow 🌈 hugging government?
Ffs even the poorer nations have much better military equipments, armies & weapons & Australia is still fighting with itself trying to figure out how to fund a couple of warships & subs, No wonder Australia is really the world's biggest laughing stock
😂😂😂😂😂.. Laughable as all these vessels are going to be obsolete by the time they enter service. And 2034 is 10 yrs from now… Better start learning mandarin..
Really Pat Conroy you have terrible record of being inept and now you have removed all doubt. Just another ALP Liar.
In what universe. Not this one. Labor again lying about the time line. Is once again – talking about it's own lies – that it excels at – as crime family syndicate. Where lies – are labors every day. You simply ignore facts or the truth. As they are irrelevant in labors world. It's all for the cameras – not of is real in labors mind. And never has to be. It's all about perception – not reality. As labor steals money – to spend on other things it likes – like funding terrorism directly – is a very noble labor cause. Not looking after Australians. Wash your mouth out with soap. Labor hates all Australians. Get with the program.
Blah blah blah, nothing being built, blah blah blah, China talking, listen to them, just get the bloody subs
So that's the "Defence Budget", what is "Defence Spending" ?
Budgets are useless if they are not spent.
These fucking idiots go on like 1 or 4 is amazing. Little do they take into account will take only a couple rockets to taken 1 or 4 out. None of these grubs care about Australia defence. Absolute Muppets the lot of them!
Bawawaa, more ships but no no one to sail them…
No one wants to join the adf to protect politicians
385 billion for 3 subs.. could buy thousands of fighter jets and defence systems for that.
Money laundering?
ADF full of Aussie GenZs.
We're proper f***ed
Lol…
We know what the ALPs policy is…
The question is what's Duttons policy….?
😆😆😆
😂 RAN is a joke and the plans are just as bad.
You need 3-4 light carriers (similar and inbetween Izumo Class, Cavour Class, and America class), 8 general purpose destoryers, 8 ASW frigates and 8 AAW frigates, 16 sloops, 8 SSNs.
Beggars can’t be choosers. And they are begging, yet, the ADF still have the experimental vaccine mandate in place. Ask me how I know.
