The Hunter Class Frigate (HCF) represents one of the most advanced warships in the world with cutting edge technology and capabilities.

We work with experts from the UK, the USA, Canada and Europe to solve highly complex challenges in construction at the newly designed Osborne Naval Shipyard, utilising the latest production technologies, including robotic welding.
