The  long-awaited review of the Australian navy's surface fleet is complete, and expected to be released tomorrow. Media reports suggest it will unveil plans for a new fleet of eight small, heavily armed warships to boost naval firepower in the region.

Reports also indicate the government will scale back the troubled Hunter class frigate program from nine to six ships.
