Why do Australia need such ships to fight on neighboring islands.

-And the Papuans ?! they are under the protectorate of Australia. That's because their Cook was eaten, but our Miklouhu-Maclay was not touched and will be captured!

[Tor5]

Well, they introduced and introduced, from us Australia is like the moon, our interests are not there.

[Talgat]

Not this way

Australia is the "jackal" of the Naglo-Saxons and the United States is, in fact, their integral part - it is officially included in the United Kingdom and is under the Queen

They are always part of the Western aggressors and bombed everyone together with the United States - Korea Vietnam Iraq Afghanistan - I do not remember where else

Where the Americans and England send - these ships will sail there - to Iran or Syria, to China or the Russian Far East, if necessary

[vkl-47]

Yes, they won’t land anywhere. Mattress covers and co. Nightmare the world with evil Russians and Eboley sell everything that can kill. Mol take it useful. Red already in the city. Pony. Mass hysteria created artificially by the USA. The more wars the richer the USA

[demo]

Yes. I wonder what and where they were going to drop.
After all, Australia and the country and the continent, at the same time.
Maybe they’ll bring something to New Zealand.
There, all the "color" of world leaders builds a shelter in the rocks for themselves in case (just in case).
Probably it will be their personal protection.

[max702]

Yes, as "evacuator" ships are quite suitable ... All the same, something global is outlined in the world ..

[martin-159]

Tasmania and many small islands.

Australia has its own view on who should own the surrounding islands.
Plus, China is claiming influence in the area.

[Air Force captain]

To whom are they going to land? FOLLOWING THINGS :)

[KAZAK67]

I think they will not spend money in vain. Another question is when we will build something similar. It's a shame to look at our scrap metal in the Mediterranean !!!!

In fact, the Australians swung at the UDC after problems with supporting their forces in East Timor.
Australia has a cloud of islands in its neighborhood, each of which has several "completely legitimate claimants." Moreover, China is hanging from the north.

And where are the Australians going to land? to Syria or something? ... all the same, these vessels are more needed for offensive operations than for defense.
Aussies are all keen to get into some sort of fight on another continent.

also very interested in this question.

[wow]

And where are these kangaroos going to land?

The devil knows them. Here it is necessary to approach differently. The British fleet increased by another UDC. Grandma Lisa probably knows why he is needed.

[Per se.]

Grandma Lisa probably knows why he is needed.

Britain is kept in the shadow of the United States, but the United States is just a kind of "guard-thug" of the Anglo-Saxon world, which is actually ruled by the British crown. "Granny Liza" is not at all a symbolic figure, as they are trying to expose her, a lot of things the old woman can do. If Australia builds a UDC, Britain needs it, and this is not done without the knowledge and approval of the British.

[Wiruz]

This is the pace. This is our ambition. Our worth learning

Oh, again, Urya-patriots

[Drozd-den]

What guys are jealous? There would be ships, but where to find a landing. That would be like Russia. They would have built themselves and not the frogs of svibs, but in general Beauty.

[barclay]

Perhaps a regional power, such ships are superfluous to control their coast and nearby islands. Now the Australians will be asked to join some sort of coalition with the United States, and to attack - where the State Department will send. Americans have recently been fond of fighting in the name of their interests.

[Engineer]

Good boats, with jumps, under the F-35 there will just be a small avik.

[ZDF58]

A big target, well, we can’t miss a few missiles and there isn’t this beauty.

[dchegrinec]

From whom is Australia going to defend itself? They will only laugh at their military program.

[colonel manuch]

It was built as a small aircraft carrier, primarily to protect maritime shipping areas, pirates are all around there, the regimes are not stable, except for Singapore and Vietnam. Yes, and Uncle Sam often invites them to walk along the Indian Ocean to the African coast. By the way, along with the French Mistrals, Russia also considered the Spanish version, but something did not seem to grow together.

[forester]

We have very good, no, even excellent anti-ship missiles. For money, we can not compete in shipbuilding, but we can oppose other weapons. It will be cheaper and more efficient.

[HAM]

Probably, the glory of the amerikosov does not give the kenguryatniks peace: the amerikosy will shit away from home, and sooner for a "big puddle" to sit out, no one will get it. So they want to make a nightmare for the popuas, and go home, for a "huge puddle". AND NOTICE THAT THIS POLICY IS LEADED BY ALL "ISLAND" STATES, by part-time Anglo-Saxons...

[Chills]

But what about Japan?

[HAM]

they are also Anglo-Saxons ... only narrow-eyed.

[Hydrograph]

Australians are serious and courageous sailors, remember the cruiser "Sydney" in World War II. Australia is part of the British Commonwealth and, among other things, the British Queen has supreme power. So they will find where to drop. And the project ship "Prince of Austria" is a light aircraft carrier in Spain

[Al_oriso]

The British queen can sleep peacefully - she, along with two Australian ships, has a new admirer.

[Neputin]

So, quietly and imperceptibly, the Spaniards built 2 (!) Landing ships for Australia. And no one screams like a fit that Australia (Spain) is a great sea power. And we have a minesweeper for 4 years mocking and enthusiasm about this full pants. Himself is not disgusting, huh? When will you become realists ...?

[Jack-b]

Why the X him jump?

[donavi49]

They are participants in the F-35 program.

You will not believe - with a springboard the ship was cheaper.

The Australians took a ready-made Spanish project tailored for the Harriers. When they hinted that they would not have "harriers" and the springboard could be removed, they were told that everything could be done - but only for the Customer's money.

[k_ply]

Why should a continent-state, by itself, separated from the rest of the World by the waters of the world's oceans, need landing ships? Yes, for the same purpose, for which the new ESM ("Hobart", "Brisbane" and "Sydney"), MTC C-17 "Globemaster" and others like them tactical fighters F / A-18. For what? ... in the Asia-Pacific region (SEA and Oceania) with a huge number of islands and archipelagos? In short, so as not to wait for the enemy at the very gate (consider that Home). Obviously, they are still very modest, tk. in a crisis, the support of the American, British, Canadian and Dutch fleets is expected. Questions of a similar nature for the Armed Forces of neutral Finland and Switzerland, for example, are "interesting".

Close Minusomet, take it in your mouth!

[LPD17]

New long-range boats and heaps of opportunities for a given range of tasks.
If we now have such .... plowed used on the highway of the Syrian express. With great benefit.
.... But we have built a huge memorial complex in Sverdlovsk .... ku and ..... yayu Eltsin, which SAM himself opened, and he also took eifosh with him and erect boxes for football 2018. Therefore, it’s not enough on ships stays on boats a little more.
By the way, I myself have never even placed a wreath at the Kremlin wall of I.V. Stalin at the Kremlin wall.
And they are afraid to even remember the murder of the marshal of the Soviet Union and the creator of the nuclear shield of the state, L.P. Beria.

What is the use of a BDK or UDC on the port-to-port route? They do not need to unload on an unequipped coast in Syria.
Thank God that the Ministry of Defense has finally been honored and has done what they have been talking about for 2 years: put on line normal civilian ships under the flag of the auxiliary fleet.

[gregor6549]

The ships, in principle, are not bad and Australia as a country, the island will not interfere at all for the creation of a Navy balanced in strength and means. True, there is one thing. When ordering these ships in Spain, the Customer somehow did not think that the Spanish ships were designed for Sea Harriers, which Australia does not and will not have. And what will be, i.e. F35, these ships will not be able to be based. the strength of the landing deck is not enough for them, and the springboard, not only has turned out to be superfluous, it still eats up a significant part of the area of ​​this deck. There is a lot of debate about this in the military and political circles of Australia.
