What does /k/ think of the Australian Navy? Its been going through a major upgrade lately, of course to compete with China and other south east asian countries. From what I can gather, australias forces are pretty small but high quality

Still needs those AWD, and at least 6 of them.
Hopefully those FFH replacements will be decent too, but the ASMD upgrades on the Anzacs have provided a good stop gap until they enter service.
Something tells me the new submarine program is going to be the clusterfuck of the century

Australian navy is stupid as shit, especially because they support those stupid whale terrorist

Weren't they moving towards buying the Japanese Soryu's? Those are some of the best attack submarines on the market, not a bad choice desu

I'm an officer in the RCN. I and pretty much all my colleagues are extremely jealous of the funding and upgrades the RAN has received while Canada's navy flounders.
Things are starting to look up a bit though, with steel cut on the Harry DeWolf class and we should have a converted civvie tanker for ras capability in a year or so.
