HMAS Hobart Destroyer
The HMAS Hobart, which got its name from the city in Tasmania, made its way into operation on 23 September 2017. The HMS Hobart provides defense from the air for other ships. It has one of the most sophisticated phased array radar systems and can engage enemy aircraft at distances as great as 150 km away. It is loaded with SM-2 missiles for these operations. Aside from operations above water, it can also provide sonar support and tracking under water.

Horizon/Orizzonte Class
These multinational air defense destroyers are a project completed by France and Italy. The conception of this destroyer came after the failure of NATO’s frigate replacement project in the early 1990’s. Originally the UK was a part of the trio destined to construct these destroyers, but they pulled out at the last minute.
