HMAS Perth is the featured ship in the Anzac-class Ship Brief.
The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) operates Anzac-class frigates, which are known as fast frigates. These frigates are a class of warships designed for multiple roles, including anti-submarine warfare, anti-aircraft warfare, and surface combat. The Anzac-class frigates were built by Tenix Defence Systems (now BAE Systems Australia) in the late 1990s and early 2000s, with the lead ship being HMAS Anzac.

Mast-ered it!
HMAS Ballarat recently received a brand new mast — that will provide its sailors with new L-Band high power active phase array radar, and an integrated ‘friend and foe’ capability. Ballarat is the 7th Anzac class ship — out of a total of 8 — undergoing the Anzac Midlife Capability Assurance Program (AMCAP) through the Warship Asset Management Agreement (WAMA) at the Henderson shipyard.
The last mast — for HMAS Parramatta — has been consolidated and is currently being fitted out. The build team are now pivoting to the proof-of-concept for the Hunter class frigate mast, which is planned to start later this year.

Re: Frigates: Anzac Class
Workforce crisis threatens to put two more Anzac frigates out of service
Defence is looking at mothballing up to two more of the navy’s frontline Anzac-class frigates as crippling crew shortages undermine the nation’s military capabilities.
Senior leadership has ordered navy fleet command to provide advice on the impact of pulling a further one or two Anzac frigates out of the water indefinitely.
The move follows Defence’s decision in November, revealed by The Australian, to put first-of-class frigate HMAS Anzac on hard stands at Western Australia’s Henderson shipyard.
It’s understood shortages of navy-qualified marine and electrical engineers are acute, with the vessels unable to go to sea without sufficient personnel in the key roles.
The nation’s most potent warships – the Hobart-class air warfare destroyers – are also suffering crewing issues due to a shortage of combat system operators.
