Well, since their are 3 of them, and the only thing in the OOB listing 3 things under construction is Submarines, I'd say they are some subset of SS, probably "Heavy" or "Hunter".

They are also not in the Australian encyclopedia (hint hint!)

The Australians have an encyclopedia? ;D

It's the "H" I wonder about; I associate that with "Helicopter", which leads down an intriguing line of thought.

A heli-sub..naughty. naughty, naughty..

Neither is whatever the new Queensland and New South Wales are.

Nothing like that... just a heavy submarine.

Both ships are on the following link, I haven't got around to adding them to the encyclopedia:

Oh and the Queensland class is the former Melourne class, I finally got around to naming them.
