"These two Duke-class armored cruisers are both modified from the British Empire's Orlando-class armored cruisers, with a ship length of 93.5 meters, width of 17.63 meters, height of 7.01 meters, 6500 horsepower, a conventional sailing speed of 18 knots, and a short-term maximum speed of over 19 knots." the Ministry of Defense official said with enthusiasm.
"Both the HMAS Australia and HMAS Duke of Arthur have similar specifications. They are equipped with two 234mm main guns, ten 152mm guns, and some six-pounders and three-pounders. This firepower is sufficient to maintain the security of Australia's coastline, and the HMAS Australia and HMAS Duke of Arthur will also become the sharpest edge of the Australian Navy."
Although both of these warships are medium-sized, this does not hinder the well-prepared defense officials from giving a detailed introduction.
