With Norway entering the coalition, the Royal Norwegian Navy will participate in the development, production and deployment of the ships in the shared class, which will have a planned total of 34 examples in service.
The total will include 15 River-class destroyers for Canada, eight City-class frigates for the UK, six Hunter-class frigates for Australia, and five ships for Norway.
The members of the collaboration are expected to meet regularly to assess the progress of the program, which will also encompass the training of the ships’ crews.
