Not sure exactly why many here are so suprised about another untried, flawed in design procurement.
The list is long and distinguished ( in terms of wasted tax payer dollars, please add more ), JSF, ANZAC ships, Seasprite, Collins class, what was that poxy Army RADAR system ? and LST's.
I believe the more technology they bolt into these machines the less suitable for extended deployment and greater amount of down time will be seen.
