The last ship in the series of three, the HMAS <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Sydney<\/span>, returned to Australia last month from a lengthy test voyage. The warship, which was built by ASC, passed important tests of its on-board weapon and sensor systems off the west coast of the US and Canada. These included tests with missiles against low-flying and supersonic air targets. As many of the integrated electronic systems are also used by the US Navy, it was possible to draw on the experience of the partner navy. The Australian Navy sees this extensive similarity of systems as a basic prerequisite for particularly close cooperation with the US Navy, including the interchangeability of warships in formations. \"Australian destroyers are a major contribution to the Australian-US alliance and will help maintain peace and prosperity in the region for the next thirty years,\" said Admiral Noonan.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12975\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12975\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12975\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-08-13-Hobart-2-mfo.jpg\" alt=\"HMAS Brisbane, second ship in the series\" width=\"1500\" height=\"880\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-08-13-Hobart-2-mfo.jpg 1500w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-08-13-Hobart-2-mfo-300x176.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-08-13-Hobart-2-mfo-1024x601.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-08-13-Hobart-2-mfo-768x451.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-08-13-Hobart-2-mfo-1080x634.jpg 1080w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-08-13-Hobart-2-mfo-750x440.jpg 750w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-08-13-Hobart-2-mfo-1140x669.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12975\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">HMAS Brisbane, second ship in the series<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The three destroyers of the <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Hobart<\/span>-class are a central element of Australia's air defence. The design of the 7,000-tonne displacement ships is based on the F-100 from Navantia. They were built in Australia between 2012 and 2020. The regular crew of the 147-metre-long units includes 186 soldiers, with space for an additional 16 people if an on-board helicopter is embarked. For a unit price of around three billion Australian dollars (1.9 billion euros), the country received <em>down under<\/em> ultra-modern units equipped with the American Aegis system. As multi-role capable ships, but primarily intended for air defence, they have a Mk 41 vertical launching system with 48 cells, from which SM-2 and Evolved SeaSparrow can be fired. A total of eight Harpoons are used for defence against sea targets. In addition, there is a 127-millimetre Mk 45 cannon and torpedoes to combat submarines. Phalanx missiles can be used against incoming missiles at close range. The hangar offers sufficient space for an MH-60R.<\/p>\n<p><em>Text: mb; Photos: Royal Australian Navy<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nicht ohne Stolz hat der Inspekteur der australischen Marine, Vizeadmiral Michael Noonan, die neuen Zerst\u00f6rer der Hobart-Klasse einsatzklar gemeldet.
