3 Companies build Corvette class ships for the Australian Navy

Spain’s Navantia teams with Australian shipbuilders for corvette offer
PARIS — Navantia’s Australian subsidiary has set up a partnership with Australian shipyard Austal and engineering and shipbuilding company Civmec to jointly propose six corvettes for the Royal Australian Navy.
The three companies have been working together on a detailed proposal since November 2022, and they submitted the idea to the Australian government in response to this year’s Defense Strategic Review, Spanish naval shipbuilder Navantia said in a Nov. 7 statement.
Australia’s defense review, published in April, called for the country’s Navy to have a fleet that would be consistent with a strategy of a larger number of smaller surface vessel. Corvette is typically the designation for the smallest category of warship.
“Navantia offers the partnership a mature design for a highly capable vessel, backed by Navantia Australia’s local and proven design capability,” Navantia Australia Director Israel Lozano said in the statement. “Each partner brings a crucial component to the delivery of a project of this scale.”
