The program is set to replace seven outdated and retiring Anzac-class vessels over the coming years and will serve as a key driving force behind the Royal Australian Navy. New enhanced\u00a0<strong>Mogami-class<\/strong>\u00a0frigates will also be added, alongside <strong>six new larger, highly <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.navy.gov.au\/capabilities\/ships-boats-and-submarines\/hunter-class-frigate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>modern<\/strong>\u00a0Hunter-class\u00a0<\/a><strong>anti-submarine frigates<\/strong>, as Canberra <strong>doubles its surface combat fleet<\/strong> over the next decade<strong>.<\/strong><\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2>What is the broader picture?<\/h2><p>While Canberra refrains from mentioning any country explicitly in various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wa.gov.au\/system\/files\/2024-08\/enhanced_lethality_surface_combatant_fleet_web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official documents<\/a>, the move comes in direct response to the\u00a0<strong>growing aggression and expansionism of the People\u2019s Republic of China (PRC)<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>across the Indo-Pacific maritime domain<\/strong>. In 2023, Australia commissioned an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/420d3cfa-1fee-49a6-804c-f3b5806c3c0c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in-depth review<\/a> of its naval planning, surface fleet capabilities, and the combat effectiveness of its warships. Publishing the new government analysis titled\u00a0<strong>\u201cEnhanced Lethality Surface Combatant Fleet\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0soon followed, laying a new foundation for acquisitions and defense planning \u2014 meant to <strong>complement Australia\u2019s future fleet of nuclear submarines<\/strong> under the second pillar of the\u00a0<strong>AUKUS <\/strong>trilateral security pact.<\/p><p>Initially, companies from\u00a0<strong>Germany, South Korea, Japan, and Spain<\/strong>\u00a0expressed interest in supplying the eleven new frigates. The shortlist ultimately included Germany\u2019s defense-tech giant\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thyssenkrupp.com\/en\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ThyssenKrupp<\/a>\u00a0<strong>and the aforementioned<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>MHI<\/strong>. The German bidder <a href=\"https:\/\/asia.nikkei.com\/business\/aerospace-defense-industries\/landmark-australia-deal-boosts-japan-s-defense-exporter-profile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leaned heavily<\/a> on its reputation as a seasoned exporter with extensive shipbuilding experience and emphasized Japan\u2019s limited prior involvement in military exports. MHI, on the other hand, <a href=\"https:\/\/asia.nikkei.com\/business\/aerospace-defense-industries\/landmark-australia-deal-boosts-japan-s-defense-exporter-profile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">framed its offer<\/a> within the broader context of <strong>deepening<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>military-security and economic relations<\/strong>\u00a0between the two Pacific partners. As has become the norm in recent years \u2014 due to worsening global security environment \u2014 the decisive factors were\u00a0<strong>delivery timelines and the balance between combat capabilities and cost-efficiency<\/strong>\u00a0for the price tag on the Australian defense budget.<\/p><p>As a result, MHI will build the\u00a0<strong>first three frigates<\/strong>, with the lead ship expected to be delivered as early as\u00a0<strong>2029<\/strong>. At the same time, Canberra is making a <strong>determined effort to expand its own defense-industrial base and shipbuilding<\/strong> capacity. Last Tuesday, it was announced that\u00a0<strong>Australian firm Austal<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/markets\/europe\/australias-austal-wins-defence-shipbuilding-contract-shares-hit-record-high-2025-08-05\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">had won<\/a> a large tender to<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>design and construct approximately eighteen new landing craft and eight larger army vessels<\/strong>. The deal includes a\u00a0<strong>key share in constructing the remaining eight of the eleven Japanese-designed frigates at local shipyards in Henderson<\/strong>, Western Australia. <strong>This gives the<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Australia\u2013Japan partnership an entirely new political-security dimension<\/strong> and also marks a moment of symbolic relevance after\u00a0<strong>Japan\u2019s failed bid last decade to build Australia\u2019s next-generation diesel-powered submarines<\/strong>. That contract initially went to\u00a0<strong>France<\/strong><strong> but<\/strong> was\u00a0<strong>famously cancelled<\/strong>\u00a0in favor of developing a more advanced nuclear submarine fleet under the AUKUS pact.<\/p><p>This goes far beyond a mere business transaction between the two nations. New developments clearly signal a\u00a0<strong>significant deepening of already close political-security relations<\/strong>\u00a0between the two nations and open the door to further expanded military cooperation. Not only will\u00a0<strong>Australia gain valuable know-how from its Japanese counterparts<\/strong>\u00a0in building modern warships, but in the future, Australian vessels may also be <strong>repaired, armed, or maintained in Japanese ports \u2014 and vice versa<\/strong>. Japan, meanwhile, is seeking to\u00a0<strong>establish itself as a major defense exporter<\/strong>\u00a0on the global stage, especially after recently relaxing its rules on exporting advanced weapons systems. This deal marks\u00a0<strong>Japan\u2019s second major international arms export contract<\/strong>, following the 2024 <a href=\"https:\/\/asia.nikkei.com\/politics\/defense\/japan-bolsters-defense-exports-a-year-after-easing-of-rules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">delivery<\/a> of a\u00a0<strong>radar and air defense system to the Philippines<\/strong>.<\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2>Why does it matter?<\/h2><p>The newly confirmed agreement between\u00a0<strong>Canberra and Tokyo<\/strong>, <strong>currently valued at<\/strong>\u00a0US<strong>$6.5 billion<\/strong>, alongside Australia\u2019s plans to <strong>acquire<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>at least <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asa.gov.au\/aukus\/australias-nuclear-powered-submarines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>seven nuclear submarines<\/strong><\/a><strong> of the SSN-AUKUS and Virginia classes<\/strong>, primarily aims at\u00a0<strong>deterring the PRC and other authoritarian actors<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>from engaging in military aggression against Australia \u2014 or against any democratic ally in the Indo-Pacific.
