Ngokhokho baseSpain - umbhubhisi wase-Australia Air Force.
HMAS Hobart prototype ekujikeni okuguquguqukayo. Isithombe sithathwe ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kolwandle.
Ikota yesithathu yalo nyaka kwakuyinkathi ebaluleke kakhulu eMbuthweni Wezempi Wasemanzini wase-Australia. Ngomhla zingama-25 kuNcwaba, kwaqedwa ukuhlolwa kombhubhisi wendiza eyisibonelo uHobart, okwashiya i-Adelaide ngemva nje kwamasonto amabili emzuliswaneni wokuqala wokuhlolwa kokudluliselwa. Zaqedwa ngempumelelo ngomhla zingama-24 kuMandulo. Lo mcimbi uphawula ingqopha-mlando enkulu ohlelweni oluyingqopha-mlando cishe lweminyaka engu-16 oludle uHulumeni waseCanberra cishe amabhiliyoni angu-A$9, okuwenza ubize kakhulu futhi ube ngolunye lwezingqinamba emlandweni wezempi wasolwandle we-Commonwealth. .
Izinhlelo zokuqala zokuthuma imikhumbi emisha, eyisipesheli yokuvikela izindiza zemikhumbi nezinqola zavela ekuqaleni kuka-1992, lapho kuhlongozwa ukuba kuthathelwe indawo ababhubhisi abathathu be-Perth-class (uhlobo olulungisiwe lwaseMelika lukaCharles F. Adams, olusenkonzweni kusukela ngo-1962 - 2001) kanye nezine kweziyisithupha ze-Adelaide-class frigates (iyunithi ye-OH Perry-class eyakhelwe e-Australia kusukela ngo-1977) ngenani lemikhumbi emisha, ngaleso sikhathi eyayingakacaciswanga. Ekuqaleni, ukwakhiwa kwamafrigate ayisithupha e-Anzac ekucushweni okulwa nendiza kwakucatshangelwa. Nokho, lesi siphakamiso sanqatshwa, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yobukhulu obulinganiselwe balezi zinkundla, okwenza kube nzima ukufaka izinhlelo zezikhali ezithandwayo kanye nemishini kagesi. Ngenxa yokuthi iminyaka isidlulile, futhi nombono wokuthi umuntu ozongena esikhundleni se-Perts asebekhulile awukatholakali, ngo-1999 iRoyal Australian Navy (RAN) yanquma ukusebenzisa isisombululo sesikhashana ngendlela yokuthuthukisa i-Adelaide emine. ama-frigates (ezintathu zazo zisasetshenziswa). Le phrojekthi eyaziwa ngokuthi yi-SEA 1390 noma i-FFG Thuthukisa Iphrojekthi, le phrojekthi ibize u-$1,46 billion (amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1,0 ayehlelelwe ekuqaleni) futhi yabambezeleka iminyaka emine. Ngenxa yalokhu, imojula yesiqalisi esiqondile ye-Mk41 VLS enamagumbi ayisishiyagalombili yafakwa kuwo womane, ifakwe amakhasethi we-Mk25 enamagumbi amane emicibisholo elwa nendiza ye-Raytheon ESSM (imicibisholo engama-32 isiyonke). Ngaphezu kwalokho, isiqalisi se-Mk13 sathuthukiswa, sajwayela ukudubula imicibisholo ecitshwayo i-Raytheon SM-2 Block IIIA (esikhundleni semicibisholo yamanje i-SM-1) kanye ne-Boeing RGM-84 Harpoon Block II ecitshwayo evikela umkhumbi. Amasistimu e-radar nawo athuthukisiwe, kuhlanganisa. AN/SPS-49(V)4 Ukubhekwa Okujwayelekile Nokulawula Umlilo Mk92. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uhlelo lwezikhali zokuvikela oluqondile lwe-Phalanx seluthuthukisiwe lwaba izinga le-Block 1B.
Ngaphezu kwalokhu okukhulunywe ngakho ngenhla kwe-frigates, ngo-2000 kwanqunywa ukuqala ukusebenzisa uhlelo lokwakhiwa kwemikhumbi emisha ngokuphelele eklanyelwe ukuvikela amaqembu emikhumbi ekuhlaselweni komoya. Lolu hlelo ekuqaleni lwalubizwa nge-SEA 1400, lwashintshwa lwaba yi-SEA 4000 eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, futhi kusukela ngo-2006 lubizwa nge-AWD (Air Warfare Destroyer). Ngaphezu kwenhloso eyinhloko yemikhumbi, i.e. I-anti-aircraft kanye ne-anti-missile yokuzivikela yamaqembu emikhumbi yebanga elide kanye namabutho okufika asanda kuguqulwa kakhulu emanzini asogwini nasezindaweni zolwandle, ukubamba iqhaza - njengemikhumbi yokulawula - emisebenzini yokugcina ukuthula kanye neyokusiza abantu, isidingo esiye saqinisekiswa esikhathini esidlule. iminyaka. Lona umphumela wokuthunyelwa kwamanje nokulindelwe kwesikhathi esizayo kwe-Australian Expeditionary Force emakhoneni akude omhlaba, kude nosebe lwasekhaya.
