ANZAC Ship Project: Economic Impact Study of the AMECON Project (1989)
 
The ANZAC Ship Project set the standard for Australia's future naval construction projects. It has been an outstanding success at all levels - operationally and industrially.
The modern cliché is that good news isn't news. In the same month that newspaper headlines spoke of significant delays in two of the ADF's critical aerospace programs, and with major delays on other key maritime projects still fresh in Australians' minds, Tenix Defence delivered a piece of good news that went largely unreported.

On 16 June the company delivered the last of the ten ANZAC frigates it has built for the Australian and New Zealand navies. NUSHIP Perth, which is scheduled to be commissioned this month, was delivered on schedule and within budget.

Allowing for a minor agreed adjustment to the original delivery schedule -not one forced by late delivery or poor workmanship, incidentally - and a budget which was amended slightly during the early days of the project to accommodate the cost of a more powerful gun, that record makes the ANZAC Ship program the most successful warship construction project in Australian history. Indeed, the ANZAC Ship program qualifies as probably the most successful major defence project in Australian history.
