Kind of like a smaller version of a Tarawa Class amphibious assault ship, without the docking bay in the rear.

She’s gotta have a well deck for tanks, LCACs and other landing craft.

You got to give the Aussies a boost for going for it.

How many other countries would have the huevos to want, or use such a ship?

70m long by 17m wide well dock that is flooded to allow the four 24m-long landing craft and other boats to operate inside the ship.
