An Australian warship has test-fired a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile, officials said Tuesday, hailing a "major milestone" in the country's decade-long plan to beef up its fleet in the face of an Asia-Pacific arms race.
HMAS Brisbane fired the Tomahawk on December 3 off the West Coast of the United States, Australia's government said in a statement, making it one of only three countries alongside the US and Britain to acquire and fire the missile.
"The Royal Australian Navy has achieved a major milestone in realising an enhanced and lethal surface combatant fleet," it said.
