호주는 8척을 건조할 중상륙정(LCH; Landing Craft Heavy)의 설계안으로 Damen의 설계안을 채택했네요. 웨스턴 오스트레일리아의 Austal의 Henderson 조선소에서 건조할 예정입니다. 연안에 직접 beaching 가능하고 앞문이 열리는 LST 타입이네요.
전장 100m, 전폭 16m, 배수량 3,900톤으로 에이브럼스 전차 6대, 레드백 IFV 11대, HIMARS 26대를 탑재 가능하며 자위용 무기 및 통신장비가 장착될 예정입니다. 2026년부터 건조가 시작됩니다.

The Australian Government has selected a design developed by Dutch shipbuilder Damen Shipyards as the preferred option for the Australian Defense Force’s Landing Craft Heavy under a program expected to bolster national defense by establishing a new littoral fleet.

The Government has prioritized the acquisition of new littoral maneuver capabilities and infrastructure to meet the aims of the National Defense Strategy. This new announcement is the next stage in the transformation of the Australian Army to one focused on littoral maneuvers and long-range strikes.
Damen Shipyards Group’s Landing Ship Transport 100 (LST100) will serve in deploying and sustaining land forces with long-range land and maritime strike capabilities in littoral environments.
Eight vessels, based on this design, will be built by Australian shipbuilder Austal at the Henderson Shipyard in Western Australia.
The design has a 3,900-tonne displacement and is 100 meters long and 16 meters wide. It will be capable of operating with other vessels to undertake a range of tasks including troop insertion and extraction, logistics movements, and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
The vessel will be capable of carrying more than 500 tonnes of military vehicles and equipment. It is intended to carry six Abrams Tanks,11 Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicles, or 26 HIMARS, and will be fitted with self-defense weapons systems and Australian military communications, according to the officials.
Construction of the first landing craft heavy is expected to start in 2026.
“This project is an important part of our plans for continuous naval shipbuilding in both South Australia and Western Australia, which is creating thousands of well-paid and high-skilled jobs,” Minister for Defence Industry and Capability Delivery, Pat Conroy, said.

넹 저도 여기다가 올렸었네요.
여건이 바뀌니 해안에 직접 beaching 가능한 LST의 시대가 다시 돌아오네요 ㅎㅎ
