The ANZAC frigates are integral to Australia's naval defence, undergoing extensive upgrades to enhance platform capability, communication systems, and combat systems. These improvements significantly boost their operational capabilities, ensuring readiness against contemporary and future threats, and improving the frigates' interoperability with allied forces, crucial for joint operations and maintaining regional security.

The Landing Helicopter Docks (LHDs) provides the ADF with a new breed of watercraft, enhancing amphibious deployment and sustainment capabilities. This initiative significantly bolsters the ADF's operational flexibility and capacity to effectively project forces from sea to shore, supporting a range of military operations and responses to natural disasters (HADR).
