Public summary
The Canberra class landing helicopter docks are Australia's principal amphibious assault and joint-force projection ships. They provide vehicle and troop lift, landing craft support, helicopter operations, command spaces, medical support and humanitarian-assistance capacity for regional crises and coalition operations. Their defensive systems protect the ship, but the defining capability is amphibious lift, aviation and command support.
