News Hunter-class Frigate program delayed, first ship to be commissioned only in 2031

[Gessler]

"The start of construction of the navy’s $44 billion new fleet of frigates is poised to be pushed back for up to 18 months after the Morrison government agreed to delay the project because of issues with the design."

"Work building the first frigate may not start in Adelaide until 2024, after senior ministers approved the delay last week. The move comes as the Auditor-General on Tuesday flagged a potential audit into the project this financial year."

"The first of the nine frigates is meant to be finished by 2029 and in service in 2031."

Sounds as if the Australian Hunter class is having some of the exact problems the Canadian CSC Frigate program is dealing with as well.

One thing I don't understand is why we have two LHDs with ski jumps yet we aren't planning to buy F-35B's. It baffles me.
