The Minister Assisting the Minister for Defence Bruce Billson today officially took delivery of the tenth and final ANZAC class frigate, NUSHIP Perth on behalf of the Royal Australian Navy.
Built by Tenix Defence Pty Ltd at the iconic Williamstown shipyard, the ship features state–of-the-art weaponry and a range of capability enhancements unique to Australia.
The latest frigate was delivered as part of a 17-year fixed-price contract worth $7 billion.
At today’s hand-over Mr Billson said the new Perth was a "flexible, capable and cost effective warship" and its construction had drawn on the skills and expertise of hundreds of local suppliers, sub contractors and Tenix employees.
"The construction of this fine ship serves as an excellent example of the world-class result that can be achieved when Defence and industry work together as partners," Mr Billson said.
"The ships built by Tenix have been of outstanding quality and have been delivered on cost, on time and on budget, to a schedule revised to accommodate new capabilities."
