Air Force hasn't taught you to read and understand content yet?
The ship under discussion is not a logistic/supply vessel and is not a replacement for the ships you list. It is the type of ship utilized by US Marines. "Aerophotos" wrote in message ...

That's not the way the reference reads, the "replacement" of the five
vessels are hinted to at the bottom of the article. (We will still require tankers and re-supply ship capability) The media forgot to mention the Sydney with the Melbourne, as well :-) "David Bromage" wrote in message .. .

(We will still require tankers and re-supply ship capability) The whole idea of the LSS is that a single type would replace Tobruk, Manoora, Kanimbla, Westralia and Success. "the navy prepared a report on a ship that would be a combined troop transport, tanker, supply vessel, command centre and hospital ... there are claims that four of them would be cheaper than replacing the existing three troop carriers and two supply ships when they reach the end of their useful lives in about 10 years." - Sydney Morning Herald 24/10/00. The media forgot to mention the Sydney with the Melbourne, as well :-) Most people forget Sydney. Cheers David |

(We will still require tankers and re-supply ship capability) An engineer I know who recently retired from Department of Defence worked on the LSS study. He told me this morning they were quite definately to do replenishment and supply as well as carry a battaliion of troops, helos and LCMs. Aside: In the first version of the LSS study they even proposed flying F/A-18s off them. Using the US Navy ski jump tests of the F/A-18A in the late 80s they decided that they could operate the Hornets off a 226m flight deck (only 14m longer than the Melbourne). This was later dropped because if Aus was to get the JSF it was unlikely to be the CTOL or STOVL version so the fast jet capability would end with the Hornet. Cheers David |
