10 combatant surface ships on stations is Oz target in
1991!
The 1991
Force Structure Review modified the
three-tiered structure into a two-tiered structure in recognition
that the FFH was not a second tier capability. A 28 ship surface
force was envisaged for 2010 comprising 16 destroyer/frigates and
12 offshore patrol vessels.
The
numbers of surface ships were calculated as follows: using pairs of major surface combatants to
patrol the approaches between Derby
and the
Torres Strait would require eight ships, while simultaneous patrols
off the northeast coast and the North West Cape would require
another two ships. To maintain these ten ships on station, 16
ships would be required...
