Notes | |||||||
1 | Due to the complexity of the design and integration of the combat, communications and platform systems, more time has been allocated to the design review activities. LHD1 was launched from the slipway in Spain in February 2011 and the Grand Block#01 erected for LHD2 the following day. Superstructure production commenced in Melbourne in November 2010. | ||||||
