History

The HMAS Sydney (V) was constructed in Australia by the Air Warfare Destroyer Alliance. Her principal role is the provision of air defence to RAN task groups engaged in maintaining maritime security. The ship is also capable of supporting land forces and protecting important infrastructure in coastal areas.

The keel of Sydney (V) was symbolically laid down on 19 November 2015, on the anniversary of HMAS Sydney (II)‘s sinking in November 1941. She was launched on 19 May 2018 and commissioned during a ceremony conducted off the coast of New South Wales on Monday, 18 May 2020.

The Aegis Combat System, incorporating a state-of-the-art phased array AN/SPY 1D(V) radar in combination with the SM-2 missile, provides an advanced air defence system capable of engaging enemy aircraft and missiles at ranges in excess of 150km. Sydney carries a MH-60R helicopter for surveillance and response to support key warfare areas. The surface warfare function includes long range anti-ship missiles and a naval gun capable of firing extended range munitions in support of land forces. Sydney conducts undersea warfare and is equipped with modern sonar systems, decoys, surface-launched torpedoes and an array of effective close-in defensive weapons. These capabilities ensure that the Hobart Class guided missile destroyers have the layered defensive and offensive capability required to counter conventional and asymmetric threats.
