IC: Following an extensive refit operation, the three ships of the Hobart Class have been recommissioned into the fleet. To meet defense requirements, the contracts for 27 more units are to be awarded to BAE Systems Australia and ASC, with construction to begin immediately.

The refitted Hobarts are modified to recieve future upgrades and return to service faster than what it would normally take. This feature would be partially implemented for Adelaide Class ships, which are to be handed over to the Australian Coast Guard and redesignated as cutters once refit operations are complete.

OOC: I'm removing the H from the pennant number because it can still be an air warfare destroyer if its designated DDG rather than DDGH.
