RE: Perth class..

Replacements? Debate and discussion now rages and has for a while on a new AAW ship. The 2000 White paper stated that at least 3 would be introdcued from 2012 onwards. Choices range from the German F124, the Dutch LCF, the Spanish F-100, the International FFG from Gibbs & Cox (US), the Type 45 from the UK, and even a DD(X) derivative from the US. Then there is also an Australian design that has been proposed as well, but based upon others.
