Another 640 jobs will go from the ASC shipyards at Osborne in Adelaide by the end of next year, a Senate estimates hearing has been told.
The head of ASC Shipbuilding, Mark Lamarre, said the workers would finish up between now and the end of 2017 as work slowed on the Air Warfare Destroyer project.
A spokeswoman for ASC said work would accelerate at the shipyard once the Offshore Patrol Vessel project started in 2018.
Late last month, the Federal Government announced French firm DCNS would build Australia's next submarines at Osborne — a $50 billion contract.
DCNS said it would require construction of a huge new factory in Adelaide for the work.
