In a historic $6 billion deal, Australia will buy 11 Mogami-class frigates from Japan to modernize its navy. Built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the stealth ships are expected to replace the aging Anzac-class and improve long-range naval capability. This agreement strengthens strategic ties between the two Quad nations. The move is part of Australia’s broader military reform, including plans for nuclear submarines and raising defense spending to 2.4% of GDP.
