In 2007 Navantia was selected as the designer and hull builder of the Royal Australian Navy’s two Landing Helicopter Docks (LHD).
The Canberra Class LHD provides the Australian Defence Force with one of the most capable and sophisticated air-land-sea amphibious deployment systems in the world. The Class comprises of HMAS Adelaide (L01) and HMAS Canberra (L02).
These 27,000 tonne ships are able to land a force of over 1,000 personnel by helicopter and landing craft.
