  Anzac upgrade closer
  
  A $260 million contract has been signed with the Anzac Ship Alliance for the first phase of a major upgrade to the anti-ship missile defences in Navy’s Anzac class frigates.
  
  The anti-ship missile defence upgrades will ensure the Anzac frigates have improved defences against modern anti-ship missiles.
  
  The anti-ship missile defence upgrade for the Anzac Ships is being contracted through Defence’s Anzac Ship Alliance with Tenix and Saab Systems.
  
  
• Student sponsorships
  Study made easier
  
  The ADF has made it easier for students at university by launching the ADF Undergraduate Sponsorship campaign.
  
  The sponsorship allows students to continue studying their current discipline, at their current university, be paid up to $29,600 p.a. while studying, receive rent and text book allowances, free health and dental care and have their HECS debt paid for the remaining years of study.
  
  The campaign promotes Defence as a viable and attractive career option and is currently targeting students who will qualify as doctors, nurses, dentists and engineers.
  
  For more info on ADF Sponsored Undergraduate opportunities visit the Defence Force Recruiting website: www.defencejobs.gov.au/undergraduate or call 13 1901.

  Tobruk turned 24 on April 23, Fremantle marked 25 years of service on March 17, while Canberra celebrated its 24th birthday on March 21.
  
  It was both happy and sad occasion for Canberra which is scheduled to decommission later this year.
