摘要

Australian Minister for Defence Stephen Smith and Minister for Defence Materiel Jason Clare announced on June 16 that the government had approved the acquisition of 24 MH-60R Seahawk "Romeo" naval combat helicopters at a cost of over A$3 billion.rnThe 2009 Defence White Paper committed the government to equipping naval warships with a new combat helicopter capable of conducting a range of maritime missions with advanced anti-submarine warfare capabilities and the ability to fire air-to-surface missiles.
