Britain’s BAE Systems PLC has won a A$35 billion (US$25.7 billion) contest to deliver anti-submarine warfare frigates for the Australian navy, the Australian government said on Thursday, June 28.
The nine ships, to be designed by BAE and built by government-owned ASC Shipbuilding in Adelaide are expected to underpin the country’s maritime combat capability for decades to come, the Australian government said in a statement.
