Best ship in the fleet :)

I have two equipment claims to fame: over 10 years in Aviation and ME deployments - have never seen a CH-47 in the flesh. And I have spent more time on HMAS Brisbane (II) than any other RAN vessel - including LPD, LPA and LHD!

I saw two Chinnoks dancing around each other at an early Avalon Airshow if my old brain serves me correctly.

Probably not TBH. The Huon-class MHC is mostly out of service with the RAN by now, with only two still in commission.

It would be a brave deployment of such ships, given their age across a large ocean. They aren't really kitted for modern mine hunting either. Its all 90s and early vintage stuff. Arafura with drones would be a much better platform.. But its not really protected enough to work alone in that enviroment.


Also, I got a nice shot of the Anzacs while a storm hit the fleet on the review... on the manly ferry.. I was late for a cruise, so ferry it was with shopping bag of booze.
