Hunter-class frigate report indicates Australian naval shipbuilding in disarray

ΣΧΟΛΙΟ ΙΣΤΟΛΟΓΙΟΥ : @ Pyatt, @ Lockheed Martin, @ Joe DePietro...instead of trying to sell the little crappy ships to the greek navy, you can try to sell them in Australia. It's a second to none offer, that they can't deny. Greek Navy won't be the useful idiot in this case. With the unmatch "technology" they have, Australia will be able to stop the Chinese coast guard.

The latest revelations about the Royal Australian Navy’s Hunter-class frigates confirm much of what we knew about the problems besetting the program, but add a level of granularity far beyond the general admissions made by Defence Department officials at earlier Senate committee hearings.

This new evidence is contained in the system design review exit report written by the Hunter program’s own engineering team in November 2021. It’s coming from the coal face and is as close to the ground truth as you can get.

A system design review is a key milestone that is meant to demonstrate that the project will meet the system’s requirements—or, in other words, that the elements of the ship make a coherent whole that will deliver the capability the navy seeks.
