Australia has the ‘weakest’ surface fleet of war vessels the country's ever had



The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says Australia has the “weakest surface fleet we’ve ever had,” with only three modern war vessels available.

“The original uncensored report of the DSR said, ‘kill these hunter frigates’ because … they can’t operate in modern warfare and immediately get some properly armed frigates with lots and lots of missile cells,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Peta Credlin.

“But nothing’s happening, absolutely nothing’s happening.”

  1. Far Left Socialist Albanese Federal Labor Govt & State Labor Govts too busy burning Hardworking Australian Taxpayers $Billions on virtue signalling, wokeism, climate alarmism & :
    -Toxic Racist & Divisive Voice
    -Unviable Renewables
    -Unviable Green Hydrogen
    -Appeasing all the welfare slobs & minority whingers
    -Spruiking gender theories & identity politics
    -Getting Shire Council staff to choose their pronouns & making them wear badges to state that choice
    – Cancellation of major Road Infrastructure projects in outer city suburbs and the regional areas
    -Cancelling dam construction projects
    -Handing out $3M to manipulative Brittany Higgins when no crime committed.

    Billions down the drain on ideologically motivated pursuits that deliver zero for the aspirational, Hardworking Australian Taxpayer.

  3. Correction, those submarines are operating in Australian waters now, the RAN are training on them as I type, there is no point in building ships that we can't crew, that's why they are developing underwater drones in WA, the border has been open for 18 months now, maybe he should leave his office 😂

  4. Deployment of US military bases on the territory of the AU against China, the BRICS countries. It can and should lead to a preemptive strike by one of the BRICS countries on the AU.
    Ridding the AU of the left AU government would lead to the construction of nuclear power plants. Falling prices for electricity and gas by 10 times. Mass construction of hospitals, factories and social housing. Increasing pensions for different groups. Free public transport. Significant reduction in the cost of living. The AU is very rich in minerals, water, livestock, cereals, wine, coal, farms and more. The AU can live no worse than Saudi Arabia. Be like China.

    For AU you need it. Neutrality, from lat. neuter – neither one nor the other
    In international law, neutrality is the position of a state not taking part in a war between other powers. The international law of neutrality contains three restrictions on the actions of a neutral state and country during a war between other states:
    1 not to provide its own armed forces to the belligerents;
    2 not to provide their territory for use by the belligerents (basing, transit, flight, and so on);
    3 not discriminate against any of the parties in the supply of weapons and military goods (that is, the restrictions are either the same or not at all).
    in international law – non-participation in war, and in peacetime, refusal to participate and non-participation in aggressive military-political blocs and non-alignment with them, as well as a reduction in military arsenals and budget expenditures.

  6. The AU is at war with Russia and China. Funds military operations against Israel. The conflict between the countries that are on the side of the Kremlin: BRICS with a population of 3.21 billion people, with the OPEC 538.34 million inhabitants.. Preparing for a war with China over Taiwan, 7470 km from the AU.
    AU is ruled by leftist maniacs. I am wrong? Let me not believe you.
    Crazy ideas, crazy convulsions of government charlatans. Naval nuclear submarines are obsolete weapons. There is no manufacturing capacity for them in the USA and England, and there is no money to pay for them.
    Scream! Living on the island buy 65 tanks? Against the landing of intercontinental missiles with nuclear warheads from the BRICS countries. Phenomenal imagination.
    Princess Penny was sent to Indonesia – a clear insult to Muslims.

  7. Yet another deranged rant from Sheridan. It is utterly pointless listening to anything he says anymore. At one point we had some aging DDGs with shitty missiles and a gun, a couple of post-WWII era DEs, some FFGs that were little more than missile catchers, a handful of Oberon subs that were very capable when serviceable, and some basic helos. Now we have state of the art DDGs with AEGIS-like systems onboard and massively enhanced range missiles, FFHs with similar radar capabilities downscaled for an FFH role, a handful of Collins subs that are very capable when serviceable, two LHDs that provide an amphib force projection capability we've never had before, plus a plethora of high-end Seahawk helos. He is full of shit!

  8. In war Ames we would lose ALL our surface fleet within a day if we went to war with China at Darwin. Our F35 ‘ would do well taking out 10 to 1 of the Chinese fighters.
    Basically we are left naked by these treacherous policies of the last 10 to 15 years of both sides of politics. Cradling was quick to shut down criticism of criminal Morrison

  9. And yet these lunatics want a naval war with China, which now has a bigger fleet than than the US. What ever happened to passing the pub test? Have we gone insane as a nation, suicide in war seems like a good idea? The US will dump us just like they did Ukraine.
