\nProject type : <\/strong>Design and development of naval vessels
\nDate :<\/strong> Feb 2011 Cost :<\/strong>$40M AUD<\/p>\n

Synopsis :<\/strong>
\nAustralian Defence Minister scraps a $40M project to build 6 new landing craft for use by the Australian Navy. \u00a0The boats were to be launched from a larger transport ships (HMAS Manoora and HMAS Kanimbla) which are already in service with the Australian Navy. \u00a0Having built the landing craft, the Defence Minister reported that trials of the boats had shown that they were not of operation value. \u00a0In particular Defence Materiel Minister Jason Clare said\u00a0“Most critically, the dimensions and weight of the watercraft meant they were unsuitable to be launched from these ships and are not fit for alternative Australian Defence Force use”.<\/p>\n
