KEY POINTS:
CANBERRA - The Australian Navy appears set to receive another advanced Air Warfare Destroyer with the Government likely to exercise an option for construction of a fourth vessel.
No decision has yet been made, but Canberra is very much inclined to go down this route. The vessels would be assembled in Adelaide.
Under the Air Warfare Destroyer deal announced on June 20, Australia will buy three advanced warships based on the Navantia F100 design, at a total cost of A$8 billion ($9.08 billion).
