Public summary
Choules gives Australia additional sealift, amphibious support and disaster-response capacity below the Canberra-class LHDs. The Bay-class dock landing ship can move vehicles, stores, troops and landing craft, making it useful for regional logistics, humanitarian assistance and support to littoral operations. Its value is practical lift and sustainment rather than combat power.
