摘要

The hull of the first of the Royal Australian Navy's two new amphibious ships has been launched in Spain, heralding a new era for Australia's amphibious capability. Chief of Navy Vice Adm Russ Crane led the launch and said the event was enormously significant. "These ships are officially known as Landing Helicopter Docks or LHDs and are the largest the Australian Navy has ever owned," Vice Adm Crane said.
