Spanish shipbuilder Navantia has been given increased shipbuilding oversight and design support responsibilities as part of ongoing efforts to recover the Royal Australian Navy's (RAN's) much-delayed and over-budget Hobart-class Air Warfare Destroyer (AWD) programme. The Australian government said on 8 December that Navantia, which designed the AWD platform, will introduce a shipbuilding management team into Australian state-owned naval shipbuilder ASC, which is leading the project to construct the vessels. Navantia will also place a design team within ASC.
