Japan and Germany will face off for a massive Australian naval contract after the government shortlisted warship designs from both nations in favour of Spanish and Korean options.
The massive General Purpose Frigate (GPF) project is worth at least $11 billion over the next decade to eventually replace the Anzac-class fleet.
A final decision on the winning design will be made next year with the first warship scheduled to be delivered in 2029.
Meanwhile in the U.S of A

Austal has secured a contract to design and build a surveillance ship for the US Navy that could be expanded to six more ships, potentially raising the total value of the contract to $US3.2 billion ($4.8 billion).
The Perth-based shipbuilder, which has been co-operating with a fraud investigation in the United States, said the initial $US113.9 million fixed-price contract was to build a T-AGOS 25 class vessel which would support submarines by providing acoustic surveillance.
AND TO TOP IT OFF "BUILD IN AUSTRALIA" AS IF.

It isn’t clear whether Hanwha Ocean is still interested in buying Australian shipbuilder Austal, but the government should oppose such an acquisition by the South Korean company or any other contender for the general purpose frigate program.
