The RAN never wanted the "Type 26," it was just the best hull to leverage off to build the full spectrum warship they wanted. Luckily the Brits decided to adopt the Mk 41 VLS and Mk45 Mod 4 gun, making things a lot easier.

Better than the Hobart class? (Serious Question, I don't know)

Well, the hull and propulsion machinery of the Hunters are a much newer design (by a few decades), and CEAFAR is a 2010/20's technology active phased array while the Hobart's SPY-1 passive phased array is from a much earlier era.

But while the Hobarts ae tagged "air warfare destroyers" they are ASW and ASuW capable as well.
