Another reason why they wouldn't want to buy the Ex U.S. ships is due to the problems they had when they purchased the Kanimbla class (ex Newport LST's).

The fact that they can then push for a third of the class at a later stage is another reason the RAN would back the building of the vessals over purchase of existing ships.
