Official Announcement
The Prime Minister ,John Howard has now made the official announcement.
I think this is a realistic decision and good news for the RAN even though they would have preferred the G&C design .The F100 is a suitable ship for us and the Govt. has said that they reserve the right to a fourth ship. Bad luck for the Mistral design but who would know the reasons for its loss I expect this will unfold sooon
