Shipbuilding Delay: The AWD Alliance will not meet contracted delivery dates for the three ships.

In response to delays in hull block fabrication, the AWD Alliance acted to limit a potential two year slippage in the delivery of HMAS Hobart by up to 12 months. Two key actions were an initial reallocation of hull blocks among Australian shipyards in December 2010, followed by a further reallocation of blocks between the Australian shipyards and Navantia in May 2011. The AWD Alliance also took action in 2010 to place more shipbuilding experts from Navantia, Bath Iron Works and Lloyds Register into the three shipyards.
