Hi Twotbags. Agree a Bay Class is great value at $100million and final all-up cost for 4 ships seems as you have said; but see the first link in my post #116. Initial overall cost projection for 4 ships was GBP300million - at present exchange rate of around 1.57, a bit less than AUD500million.
On those indications, I ponder whether we will see a cost escalation of the Canberra Class LPD project to somewhere around $3.5billion overall for just 2 ships?
