Looks like they’re not sending any hardware either.

Other than the 3 Hobarts, they don’t have much else to send, as the ANZAC Frigates aren’t much for AD.Looks like they’re not sending any hardware either.

Yeah but they’re sending six staff officers. We need to close the staff officer gap!

Hmm it says the 6 will be closing the staff officer gap with Canada. I guess we secretly contributed other staff officers to CMF

I means, it's an AAW Destroyer, so very suitable to protecting Shipping. And the ANZAC have double the x of ESSM that a Halifax Class does.
My guess is the Aussies have an eye on China and need to commit forces to their sphere of influence.

They also have huge problems staffing their ships.
The RAN has attrition stats that would make the RCN look good by comparison.
As well as a radar that's more capable than the SMART-S on the Halifax class.
