Anzac Class Frigate (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Anzac class is a ship class of ten frigates; eight operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), and two operated by the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN). During the 1980s, the RAN began plans to replace the River class destroyer escorts with a mid-capability patrol frigate, and settled on the idea of modifying a proven foreign design for Australian conditions. Around the same time, the RNZN was seeking to replace their Leander class frigates while maintaining blue-water capabilities.
