	Naval Technology - Anzac Class - Frigates
		The first frigate for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), HMAS Anzac, was commissioned in May 1996.
		Anzac will be fitted with Harpoon Block II missiles, which have new inertial / GPS (Global Positioning System) guidance for precision targeting, and will be among the first vessels to have the new missile.
		The frigate is equipped with Thales Defence Sceptre A radar warner.

	Frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Early frigates were armed with 9-pounder (4 kg) guns, development soon led to 12- and 18-pounder (5 and 8 kg) armed frigates, and at the turn of the century the biggest ones even carried 24 pounder (11 kg) main batteries.
		Frigates were perhaps the hardest-worked of warship types during the age of sail.
		Some new classes of frigates are optimized for high-speed deployment and combat with small craft ahead of the usual idea of sea combat between equal opponents, an example of this school of thought is the American Littoral Combat Ship, as exemplified by the first ship of the type, USS Freedom.

		New Zealand frigates HMNZS Te Kaha and Te Mana have not received the same standard of equipment as their Australian counterparts, (with the exception of their new build Kaman SH-2 Seasprite helicopters, which have in service not experienced the reliability problems of Australia's second hand purchase).

		The frigate was recently delivered to the RAN during a ceremony in Williamstown, Melbourne, Australia.
		The ANZAC ship program is a collaboration between the Australian and New Zealand governments, involving the development and construction of 10 new ANZAC class frigates - eight for the RAN and two for the Royal New Zealand Navy.
		The 118-meter ANZAC frigates are based on the MEKO 200 platform design for worldwide operation under climatic and oceanographic conditions ranging from tropical to sub-arctic.

		HMAS ANZAC (pictured above), the lead ship, was commissioned in may 1996 with follow on vessels to be delivered at the rate of approximately one per year.
		ANZAC is fitted with an advanced package of air surveillance radars, omni directional hull mounted sonar and electronic support systems which interface with a state-of-the-art combat data system.

	Australian Swan class Frigate
		The frigate forces of the Australian consisted of six Adelaide class frigates, a copy of the American Perry class frigate, and eight Anzac class frigates, a derivative of the German MEKO 200 class.
		While the Anzac class was used as the basis for the new frigate class, the design would require many changes and would be virtually unrecognizable as being developed from the Anzac class.
		The hull of the frigate is basically that of a modified Anzac class frigate but has been lengthened giving the ship an improved length to beam ratio and to add additional volume for electronics and weaponry.

		Thanks to advances in radar technologies that have occurred in the interim, the Anzac class may well benefit from new capabilities that were not under initial consideration.
		For an ESSM equipped Anzac frigate expected to operate in a complex air threat environment, a CEA-FAR radar would consist of six faces of eight panels and multiple signal processors.
		Endorsement of the active PAR option for the Anzac class will endow the ships with surveillance and search and track capabilities beyond anything anticipated when the class was first introduced.

		At this time, the RAN also began to move away from commissioning British designs; the last major British design used was the Type 12 frigate, which formed the basis of the "River" class frigates.
		When it was decided that the RAN should commission a destroyer armed with guided missiles, the obvious British design was the "County" class; however, the RAN had reservations regarding the gas turbine propulsion, the Seaslug missile system, and being able to adapt the design to Australian needs.
		By the mid-late 1960s, the RAN was at the zenith of its operational capabilities; it was capable of despatching a full carrier battle group in support of major operations by having in service an aircraft carrier, three large area defence destroyers of the Perth class, six modern "River" class frigates and four Oberon class submarines.

		Built by Tenix Defence Systems using modular construction techniques, hull and superstrucuture modules were built in both New Zealand and Australia.
		The shape of the project will ultimately be determined by the outcome of this trial.
		The Australian government undoubtedly did place pressure on the New Zealand government to make the purchase, but their public reasons were that New Zealand firms would receive much of the work and that it was important to ensure compatibility between the ships of both nations.

		The ANZAC Biscuit, a partnership between the RNZRSA and manufacturer Unibic, was officially launched at a special function aboard the ANZAC-class frigate HMNZS Te Kaha in Wellington on 19 March 2002.
		The ANZAC Biscuit, as it is known today, owes its origins to the Scottish oat cake and was baked by mothers and sweethearts for soldiers serving in the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915 (as well as for sale at home to raise funds for the war effort).
		The tasty non-perishable ANZAC Biscuit was a welcome addition to the basic rations issued to our soldiers at Gallipoli, not least the much-loathed Army Biscuit.

		The main differences between the two Australian ships and the Leanders were that they were not fitted with helicopter decks or hangar space, they had a redesigned bipod mast with spherical director on the top, a squatter funnel and a lower radar mounting aft of the funnel.
