@nathanb8721 Factually incorrect. The ANZAC frigates are armed with RIM 162 ESSM SAMs. These missiles give Area defence out to 60nm and are the exact same missile used to shoot down Houthi drones and missiles by the US Navy.

@shanehansen3705 Perhaps but there has been a general theme that we didn’t send a warship to the Red Sea because that are not capable and this is a lie. The Anzac frigate is also equipped with a wide range of ESM and ECM as well as Harpoon missiles for offensive tasks. Yes the OPVs can be up armed, but will they be.
