The 21 Pacific patrol boats would never have been built. They're being built at Henderson. The last ship for the Navy that was built in Australia is the HMAS Sydney, the air warfare destroyer. Because of the decision of first the Abbott government and now the Turnbull government, we're building 54 vessels in this country. The nine Hunter class antisubmarine warfare frigates are the latest, but there are also the submarines, the offshore patrol vessels and the Pacific patrol boats.
