💨 Abstract

Australia has accepted Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' bid to build 11 warships valued at AU$10 billion. The Mogami-class frigates will replace Australia's aging ANZAC-class ships, with three built in Japan and the rest in Australia. The deal is notable for being Japan's largest defense export and marks a significant step in military cooperation between the two countries amidst regional tensions. The frigates offer advanced capabilities and reduced crew requirements compared to their predecessors.
