The Hunter Class Frigate Program has successfully completed the structural manufacture of the first prototyping unit.

The 217sqm unit, comprising more than 28 tonnes of Australian steel, has moved from the shipyard’s primary manufacturing hall into the next stage of production where it will be outfitted and consolidated (with the addition of three more units) into the first prototyping block.
