Spotted this little article I thought some may find of interest about the TCG Anadolu LHD.
TCG Anadolu LHD: A Naval Platform that will Multiply the Power Projection Capability of Turkish Navy! - Defence Turkey Magazine
Some of the article discusses the naughty stuff we cannot talk about; but what did get my interest was the fact Turkey has aspirations for a sister ship of this design to be named TCG Trakya,
Also the class is built without the steel fender in the docking well to allow two LCAC's to be carried within the ship.
I wonder if this fender could be removed in the Canberra Class without too much major structural rework and would this be of a benefit to the RAN.
Enjoy the read
