There is probably more likelihood too, of the Canberra Class LHD's having more of an ASW role with Allies, than landing mechanised infantry throughout the Pacific. A Canberra class LHD with a squadron of MH-60R's, would go some way in beefing up the single helicopter warships of the RAN and prove somewhat more useful than their envisioned amphibious roles in the event of Indo-Paciic naval conflict .
