The Royal Australian Navy’s new Bay-class dock landing ship has passed its first capability test after three weeks of amphibious exercises off North Queensland.

Having been transferred from the UK Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) and commissioned into RAN service in December 2011, HMAS Choules (formerly RFA Largs Bay) completed a range of training tasks with army and navy personnel during Exercise ‘Squadex’ and Exercise ‘Sealion’, which concluded in mid-March.
