According to press reports the LSD HMAS Choules and the multi-role aviation training vessel MV Sycamore are being sent, presumably they are the duty ships on "48 hours notice to sail"
Yes according to what I heard the choules was a designated to be on standby for disaster response over the a xmas break. Normally you get more than 24-48 hours notice when it comes to cyclones, they were both heading to sea within 12 hours. Both are on ais ship tracking for anyone who cares
