Why does the Australian Navy use Anzac-class frigates? #shorts

The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) has operated a class of warship known as the Anzac-class frigates since the late 1990s. The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), which served in World War I, inspired the naming of these ships, which were created as part of a collaborative initiative with the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN).

The 3,600-ton displacement of the 118-meter-long Anzac-class frigates. They have a variety of weaponry at their disposal, such as 5-inch gun, missiles, torpedoes, and machine guns. Additionally, the ships have sensors like radars and sonars that enable them to identify and engage hostile targets. The ships can travel at a top speed of 27 knots and are incredibly agile.

They are quite capable and perfectly adapted for the needs of the RAN, despite not being the most technologically advanced frigates in service. The Anzac-class frigates are more agile and adaptable than the larger and more powerful United States Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. Additionally, they are substantially less expensive to run and maintain.

Well, let's not be putting frigates up against destroyers here, but that Anzac Class has fulfilled Australia's naval commitments around the world just fine till now.

3600 ton with only 8 antiship missile and 8 VLS is quite unrealiable and very costly to maintain due to lots of personnel necessary to operate but only has very few missile magazine.

Speaking as an Australian, I'd rather have 8 Arleigh Burkes in our navy than the 8 ANZACS, which were under-armed from the start; almost every weapon system was FFBNW to begin with, so just a glorified WW2 ship in terms of initial capability.

We should have gone for a modernised AB rather than the Navanti-designed Hobart Class AWDs whose missile load out is, frankly, totally inadequate if we expect to fight anybody more capable than Papua New Guinea.

They too lightly armed. May have a good radar but lacks armament
