As I have said before, I actually work for Navantia, so maybe, and only maybe there is a possibility of knowing some things about the LHD that you dont know...
BS that you know anything about the capability - and I say that with a high level of confidence.
For a start Navantia is building the hull - she is not involved with the fitout - and the spanish do not even know what some of the comms and CSS fitout is - thats a fact.
I have taken part in the Juan Carlos I and Canberra construction, and talking from what i have seen in the JCI is what gives me the confidence to say what I have said, so no nonsense here, I know perfectly what im talking about because Im part of the team wich builds the ships you are going to recieve.
You're the builder, what part of the design team are yoiu on? whos your boss? I ask again because people I work with and part of my project deals with the LHA's - I know for a fact what you get for info. At the warfighting design level you see ZIP
Im only saying that a dedicated command ship will be an overkill, and I maintain it, but I dont know much about what the RAN might want for the 2040s, but certainly now I cant see the necesity of a ship of that kind.
ands a completely different issue from your other grand claims which are a nonsense.
I would bet quite a bit of money that there are at least 3 people in here who have an operational detailed understanding of whats in the ships far greater than what you as the builder sees - in fact I know what you are permitted to see. It has almost zero relevance to end state fitout. saying that you know about the capability fitout is akin to some in here seeing a ferrari in a car yard, looking through its windows and then telling everyone that you drove it and know how it handles
if you are going to reply, then look at what has been said by others rather than extrapolating your assumptions. the capability intent is not about a dedicated role - its about mission capability and their primary purpose.
your comment about it not being a dedicated command asset demonstrates no comprehension of what the RAN has clearly planned for, and is clearly planning for because of fitout designing issues here. They are and will be the floating purple command centre - ie the command asset in theatre. the design intent is based on real world experience over the last 12 years working in task force lead roles and working in distressed circumstances.
The Spanish in a buiild and box flog role would not see any of the critical fitout deal - and NONE of the function and development intent. All they are doing is making a widget that will be finished off in australia for a number of security reasons.
as a builder you see squat, zip nada zilch. as the builder of the hull you don't get to see any of the critical systems and subsystems - you certainly don't get to see any of the conops material - I know you don't because you're not even remotely cleared to see anything in the design that impacts on security and national interest.
my suggestion, stop pretending that you do, as its more than just me in here who has more than a passing familiarity with the asset and knows what you get to see.
