I read the novel about India. I think it was called "An Act of War" ? Is that the one?

Why would anyone invade Australia? I don't think they would but I don't have trouble imagining a few people eyeing off the oil and gas resources lying underneath the Timor Sea, which Australia has claimed despite E. Timor's own claims of ownership. There are some big guns, greedy unprincipled people and stinging feelings of national pride in the area.

I read the RAN is getting 2 proper helicopter carriers but can't find anything about it through searches. Anybody got any info on that?

Gnadenburg, where've you been???
