Australian Navy’s final Hobart-class AWD Sydney launched

The Royal Australian Navy’s (RAN) third and final Hobart-class air warfare destroyer (AWD), Nuship Sydney, has been launched at the Osborne Naval Shipyard in Adelaide.

Nuship Sydney has been built by the AWD Alliance and is equipped with advanced technologies that enable it to defend a Task Group from a range of air, surface and submarine threats. [...] US Navy chief vice admiral Tim Barrett said: “In the last three years we have seen the launch of the first two air warfare destroyers, HMAS Hobart and NUSHIP Brisbane, and with the launch today of Sydney, the class is now complete. [...] Nuship Sydney is one of the first Australian Navy vessels to be equipped with the US’s Aegis weapon system.

The new technology is expected to improve the navy’s overall warfighting capability, while allowing it to work more closely with the nation’s allies.
