Most likley a smaller one than the Canberra class amphibs. Something around the size of the Kanimbla class, maybe two smaller ones as this would giver greater flexability than just having one. |
No, we will not be getting two of a secoind class. manpower issues again. We have 3 big amphibs now. We will have 3 in 10 years time (but all newer/bigger/better/more capable). And hopefully will have replacements well in motion for the LCHs.
But we cannot have 4 big 'phibs. It simply won't happen.
