BAE wins multi-billion pound Australian warship contract

British defence giant BAE Systems has won a multi-billion pound contract from the Australian government to build nine new warships, marking a significant victory for British military exports.

BAE beat Italian and Spanish rivals to win a large slice of the £20bn spending programme.

The ships will be built in Australia, but are based on the Type 26 design BAE is building for the Royal Navy.
