Please bring the discussion in this thread back to a reasonable standard. One-liner comments rarely add to discussion and whimsical suggestions on potential vessel names might have been intended to be amusing, are starting to wear out their welcome.

That is the least impacting design proposal ive seen...theres a couple of others out there that would really upset the neighbours
The other issue with FBE is the heritage listing of half the buildings. I worked in 99 last year, the cost to bring it to useable was ridiculous and the other buildings were going through the same. We were right in front of Sydney harbour with a small window looking out due to the design.


Can confirm John Laws or someone there had CO speed dial most nights with the reaction speed of OOD

Had complaints about FFG on shore power being to loud at start of summers nights. Was probably first time residents opened their windows in 6mths.

We resolved their complaint by parking another FFG outboard to double the sound

Sorry about that. We'll get back on topic.

Do you know of other proposals freely available to view? I’ve seen some other proposals with less than the above and one other that have the LHDs on the Westside and a bunch of wharfs on the eastside running parallel with Hibbs rd.

BAE’s latest rendering…

Hmmmm. Seems to get more ridiculous by the day. All that radar for what is likely to be 16x area anti-air missiles and for only $9b a pop…

According to the navy's home page the weapons loadout for the Hunter will be

• MU90 torpedoes and Mark 54 air-launched torpedoes
• Mark 45 Mod 4 5-inch gun
• SM-2 and Evolved Sea Sparrow missiles
• advanced anti-ship missiles
• Mk 41 vertical launch system
• Nulka decoy system
• Surface Ship Torpedo Defence system
• AGM-114N Hellfire air-launched missile
• air-launched Advanced Precision Kill Weapons System (APKWS)

So confirmed, I guess no Phalanx.
