Don't know about calling it an Aircraft Carrier (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/orange-giant-blue-marlin-floats-into-port-philip-bay/story-e6frf7kx-1226497752504) though.

Why not? Would look good with some F35B on the deck...low risk option :}

That's one hell of a lifeboat!

[Buster Hyman]

I guess, with the benefit of semantics, it could carry some aircraft to an airport somewhere couldn't it?

[glojo]

That is the biggest bottle opener in the whole World ;)

Not to be outdone by a few Septics running over a submarine.....and they didn't damage the sonar housing :)

I wish the RAN was allowed to come up with better names than just using cities due to government direction.

What numpty decided to paint it red and white? You can see it a mile off!

"I wish the RAN was allowed to come up with better names than just using cities due to government direction."


Historical as opposed to current Gov't direction.

Look at the various RAN classes of ships and subs and
what they are called / have been called.

Why? The RN has had lots of ships named after cities in the UK: Edinburgh, London etc, and this is the third RAN ship to carry the Canberra name. I doubt the Government had anything to do with it other than rubber-stamping an RAN tradition.

The Royal Navy could save a fortune, remove the engines, dump the stoker trade, and simply move their boats around the world on the back of that thing to any hotspots...

Finally! Roy Scheider gets his bigger boat.
