Construction on the first Hunter Class Frigate is underway at South Australia’s Osborne Shipyard.
The six vessels will be at the cornerstone of Australia’s largest naval fleet since World War Two.
More than 3,000 people will help build the Hunter Class vessels.

Letting the enemy build our naval ships isn’t exactly the smartest move
Enforce shariah law in Australia, hijabs for women. Free Palestine. Mass immigration is good. Totally wonderful day
The 1st ship to be launch in the early 2030's? Seriously, 2034? China will have built 40 of these, along with 10 Nuclear Submarines, 3 Carriers, and 1000 Drones ships by then
Ships are no longer safe , shows the Russian situation ship are the most vulnerable, waste of money
Late and design messed about by CASG, a late mess, labor have wrecked this industry once already, now we have to start from scratch with new people
Same rubbish John sekka will put Albo in a headlock giving him a rub telling Albo I'll get them built when you give me more money

Wow!!!! They cut a six kilo piece of steel… the first piece of six Hunter Destroyer missile frigate boaty things. SIX kilos!!!! Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair.
As a former U.S. MILITARY PERSON l am ENCOURAGED by AUSTRALIAN MILITARY. IT'S TIME for the UNITED STATES MILITARY, to start LOOKING at REDUCING its MILITARY PRESENCE through OUT the WORLD. The U.S. has BECOME a INTERNATIONAL POLICE FORCE. They are DISRESPECTED, by GREAT BRITAIN, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, IRELAND, FRANCE. The ONLY TIME we are EVEN RECOGNIZED, is when our AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, and our other MILITARY BRANCHES are NEEDED. I have BEEN to the U.K. and REST OF EUROPE, and AMERICANS, are LITERALLY DESPISED by these COUNTRIES. WE have over 130,000 U.S. MILITARY BURIED in FOREIGN CEMETERIES. It's time we START SHUTTING OVERSEAS MILITARY BASES DOWN, REDUCE OUR COMMITMENT TO NATO, and let the HOST COUNTRIES, ARM and TRAIN THEIR OWN MILITARY FORCES. We can then CUT OUR OWN COSTS FOR DEFENSE, WITHOUT PUTTING UP WITH WORLD DISRESPECT. ESPECIALLY SINCE NORWAY, SPAIN, AND IRELAND ARE RECOGNIZING FRONTS FOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS.
Love from egypt 🎉❤
By the time the vessel finished. Already out of date use. China new weapons coming every year.
While the Chinese in that time have built 50😂
Wait we still have to run it passed the Union criminal organization.
Nuclear power, building more war ships.not telling the population to prepare for war
It has taken 6 years to cut the first piece of metal. Okay. When will the whole ship be ready ?
40 years too late
Hopefully the Chinese steel is good quality.
Retardants waste taxpayer money 💰… St.Thomas
Big call Numpty Marles, forever? I don't think so, after the next election when you are warming the opposition seats things will change.
They have gone on Strike Already…..Marbles' wasn't wearing a Hard Hat and Safety Goggles !
Good to see. More home built equipment is needed. I truly believe that Australia has the knowledge just need the will to do so.
(Thumbnail) What a beautiful sight to see, "our nation's flag" flying proud. Refreshing change!🇦🇺One Flag!
Clear need to speed up manufacturing and to build another destroyer maybe get Spain to build the Hull, also need to build another 2 Tobruk's to support the Islands!
It’s against my spiritual practices to work with metal used for the military.
Then you have to find sailors to crew them.
War ships are a waste of money they are irrelevant to wartime combat these days !! It’s all about subs and outer space now !!
They fought & won WW2 in less time then the lead ship will hit the water. Nothing short of a National disgrace.
Years late and three short……..no surprise here
Another Propaganda
The fact is that they have the Air Warfare Destroyers to benchmark against and they are well aware that the Future Frigates with the CEA radar fitted won't be anywhere near as capable as the Air Warfare Destroyers. Obviously they can't have my radar designs to make them world class so unless they do a complete redesign with a different radar and combat system they will be a waste of taxpayers money.
BAE have been losing contracts worldwide for good reason.

Buddy, make sure it’s not late before World War III
The labor wankers cut it from 9 to 6 that's not enough the chicoms must be voted out
These tubs are expensive duds.
