Australia Will Spend $54 Billion to Upgrade to Australia’s Most Lethal Navy Fleet Ever
By AussieCossack
Australia will spend $54 billion to upgrade to Australia’s most lethal Navy fleet ever.
The overhaul follows a major review that recommended urgent changes to the fleet.
One expert said the upgrade is likely to have been partly caused by China’s activity in the region.
The Australian government released its blueprint for a larger and more lethal Navy fleet on Tuesday, pledging $54 billion towards buying more smaller warships and boosting the strike ability of larger ones.
Defence Minister Richard Marles unveiled the government’s plan to expand the current fleet as the defence force pivots to project its firepower deeper into the Pacific.
