ASC will fabricate, assemble, test and develop a through-life support system for the HOBART Class AWDs at its shipbuilding facility in Osborne, South Australia.

• This includes:
• the procurement of all ship materials and equipment;
• the management of subcontract packages for ship module construction around Australia and subsequent delivery to ASC’s shipbuilding facility; and
• installation of Combat System equipment.

ASC has engaged two capability partners to assist in its role as shipbuilder: renowned United States ship designer and builder Bath Iron Works (a subsidiary of General Dynamics) and leading independent engineering consultants Sinclair Knight Merz.

ASC is also involved with the South Australian Government’s development of the new Common User Facility infrastructure, including a ship lift, wharf and dry berths.
