"A former chief of navy says Australia's troubled $45 billion future frigate program should be scrapped, arguing the British-designed warships will not be powerful enough.
Key points:
- A British company was selected over rival bids to build nine new anti-submarine warfare frigates
- Vice Admiral Shackleton says Australia has chosen a ship "unsuited to its needs"
- He says the vessels "won't give the government a range of military options it could need for managing a conflict"
In a new report, retired Vice Admiral David Shackleton suggests Defence instead negotiate with the United States on building Arleigh Burke-class destroyers locally, and if that is not possible, to commission the construction of more Hobart-class destroyers."
...and Morrison and Dutton are picking a fight with China .... LMFAO...
... Morrison and Dutton at the helm leading Aussies into war?....nah an abyss...... definitely a Monty python sketch in the making....
