Australia plans naval expansion amid missile and carrier debate
Australia will expand the Royal Navy of Australia with new guided missile destroyers, a survey ship, and Oberon class submarines built in the United Kingdom, plus a possible attack aircraft carrier. The defence plan totals £1,519.2 million for 1962 to 1968, aiming to defend Papua New Guinea and New Zealand, and to extend missile facilities across services. The move follows lessons from the Coral Sea and urges rapid acquisition of an attack carrier to boost strike capacity.
