	Australia Delays continue for Australian FFG upgrade StrategyPage.com
		Additional issues with the upgrade of four Adelaide-class guided missile frigates (FFG) for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) have pushed the programme further back and caused the delay of sea trials planned for the first completed ship, HMAS Sydney.
		Complicating the issue is the recent discovery of hull cracking in several of the FFGs.
		Because of the implications for sea worthiness, sea trials with HMAS Sydney cannot commence until repairs are made.

		The AUD1 billion (USD772 million) upgrade of four Adelaide-class guided missile frigates (FFG) for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) continues to experience schedule delays as hull-integrity issues impede the start of contractor sea trials of the first upgraded vessel, HMAS Sydney.
		Despite contract signature taking place more than six years ago, the FFG Upgrade (Project Sea 1390) is still more than 30 months behind schedule due to continuing problems experienced by ADI in integrating elements of the Australian Distributed Architecture Combat System with other combat system-related, undersea and fire-control software.
		The FFG Upgrade is the most ambitious of its type attempted by any FFG (Oliver Hazard Perry class) user.
