Wow,

That deserved a bit of Googleing for sure. Turns out it is the biggest ship the RAN will have ever had, longer than the old Melbourne. It certainly looks bulkier.

I wonder if a bit more fanfare and hoopla would have been in order for its arrival in Sydney? Maybe that was because it is not yet a commissioned ship of the line.

And there is a second one of the class on the way, the Adelaide! I'd have named them the HMAS Whitlam and the HMAS Keating.

Cheers
