RIMPAC 2008
18 July 2008 HMAS ANZAC is the first of her class and a modern warship, capable of operating in a multi-threat environment. ANZAC’s design is based on the German Meko 200 Class that uses modular construction methods. ANZAC is fitted with an advanced package of air surveillance radars; hull mounted sonar and electronic support systems that interface with state-of-the-art weapons systems. ANZAC’s armament comprises a five-inch gun, Harpoon missiles, Evolved Sea Sparrow Missiles (ESSM) and ship launched Torpedoes. Multi-role Sikorsky S-70B-2 Seahawk helicopters can be embarked to enhance anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare capabilities. ANZAC is the third Royal Australian Navy ship to carry the name of an Australian legend. |
