RAN T26 starts building in 2020, and the 9th hull will be delivered on 2042.
I suspect
- 1st hull handed-over on 2026 (6 years build).
- 1 hull every 2 years, for 8 more hulls, it will give us 2042.
As UK T26 started on 2027, and the 8th hull will be handed over to RN on ~2035, as I understand.
- 1st hull handed over on 2025 (commission in 2027),
- 1 hull every 1.5 years, for 7 more hulls, it will give us late-2035.
How fast Canadian T26 are planned to be built?

The AWD Replacement begins in 2038 (presumably using the same hull)
(average 1.8 years between builds

Disagree. The plot clearly states, 9th Hunt-class will be delivered on 2042. AWD-replacement (may) start on 2038, which means its first hull will be delivered to RAN on 2044, when HMAS Hobert is 27 years old.Mercator wrote:Not to mess up your timeline too much, Donald. But if you look at graphic, you'll see that there is actually 2 programs in that timeline. The Future Frigate and the AWD Replacement programs. The AWD Replacement begins in 2038 (presumably using the same hull) and is probably, if it's a one-for-one replacement, 3 extra hulls. So that's a total of 12 hulls between 2020 and 2042 (average 1.8 years between builds). Although if you look at the graphic, between 2038-42, the build rate would have to be 1.3 years to do 3 hulls (I read 2042 to be the close of the program, not the start of the 3rd hull). So the build rate has some build in variability. Slower at the beginning, obviously.

I agree further discussion could take place on RAN thread, as anyway my point is Australia is building their T26 slower than UK's T26. No surprise.

Have to fit out the 5 T31s in-between and will only get to the T-26 in the 6th year![]()

- as we only have one military fitting-out yard

I beg to differ with your thinking R M personnel who were made surplus to trade transferred to the R A F marine branch were among best crew men . They would be superb matelots if anything by the calibre of the one I served with. As for manning a type 26 I wouldn't like to be a adversary if they crewed it.(my apologies for replying as this is not news but I felt as someone who has served with retrained marines they would make excellent crew.)Pongoglo wrote: Know one believes that there are a who!e load of ex 42 Booty's ( it was they that got re-rolled not 43) dressed up as Matelot's and retraining at Drake to form the future crew of a Type 26.
