The two competing designs: an Arleigh Burke class destroyer (front) with a F100 class frigate (rear)

The Hobart class destroyer is a class of three ships which are planned to enter service with the Royal Australian Navy from 2013. While the design of the Hobart class is yet to be finalised, the ships will feature the Aegis combat system and other sophisticated weapons and electronic systems. The Hobart class design will be based on either the United States Arleigh Burke class or the Spanish F100 design. The final design will be selected in mid 2007.
