As always I start my thought with “I’m not ADF”, so I may not know what I’m talking about,
would it be possible to start with a 2nd hand ConRo (combined ro-ro & container) vessel
and make it a multi-purpose
The top deck could support helicopter operations, wack on a few ex mining dongas, 2 x LCM-1E,
2 helicopters and you could send a Health Support Battalion and Engineers to any Island in the pacific.
