| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) is a service that punches above its weight and will receive a substantial boost to its force projection capability.
The RAN has to cover a huge expanse of water, around the 7.7 million square kilometer island continent and Canberra's interests extend into the Solomon Islands, where the RAN supports a regional assistance mission in Operation "Anode," and New Guinea to the north west, the Antarctic, as well as deploying a frigate in the Persian Gulf supports the campaign against terrorism by operating in Operation "Slipper." |
