That's not the way the reference reads, the "replacement" of the five

(We will still require tankers and re-supply ship capability)
The media forgot to mention the Sydney with the Melbourne, as well :-)

The ship under discussion is not a logistic/supply vessel and is not a

Yes it is.

"And they can be used for the more straightforward task of replenishing
