Austrailan Ddl

[roughneck06]

Does anyone know any details about the proposed Aussie DDL? I have an old copy of Janes when it was first proposed. I recall that 8-10 of these were being planned for.

Anyone here know why they were not built? Were the FFG-07s build instead?

The RAN did look at a joint UK effort to replace its Destroyers with a version of af the Type 42 design armed wiith standard. Due to costs of the new design, build and service dates they went for off the shelf Charles F Adams class destroyers from the US instead.
