China's Type 071 LPD
See this link: Type 071 Yuzhao LPD
Other sources suggest displacement tonnage (light?) between 12,000 and 14,000 tonnes with capacity for 4 'heavy lift' helos and deck/hangar manoevring systems like RAST. Maybe 4 vessels of similar design would have been more appropriate for ADF regional operations!
The Spanish/Australian LPDs have ramps and are advertised as having capacity for a 30 aircraft air wing.
Has the Canberra class been built to double hull warship specs? Just curious.
