Forgacs conducts refit and maintenance work for the Royal Australian Navy, including the repair and extensive conversion of the Kanimbla-class landing platform amphibious (LPA) ships, following their purchase from the United States Navy. They had constructed hull blocks for the Anzac-class frigate and in 2009 they were contracted to build 30 hull blocks for the Hobart-class destroyer being constructed in Adelaide for the Royal Australian Navy.
