Planned Replacement
The RAN plans to begin removing their Anzacs from service from 2024 onwards. To replace them, a class of eight new frigates will be built under the SEA 5000 acquisition project. The frigates are predicted to have a displacement of up to 7,000 tonnes (6,900 long tons; 7,700 short tons), and although they will be oriented towards anti-submarine warfare, they are expected to be all-rounders, with the ability to also operate against air, sea-surface, and land targets.
The New Zealand 2010 Defence White Paper indicated that the RNZN's Anzacs will be replaced around 2030.

Famous quotes containing the words planned and/or replacement:
“And the LORD changed his mind about the disaster that he planned to bring on his people.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 32:14.
“Not even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. It is for art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature, its readers; to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
