I like the idea. Yang pertama dalam kelas dia. Gabungan LPD dan Dan Destroyer. Dia tak perlukan komponen besar untuk layered defense since the ship already got 25mm, 76/62 Super Rapid and Aster-15 as point defence. Cuma takde ASW capabilities je.

kan ada tanda *not confirm. MICA je yang confirm.

Actually, any airborne threats. By logic no air craft will fly within target (ship) defense range (include ship ECM range).

AN\APG-73 no longer produced. We already got congress approval for AN/APG-79 before.

Unaccurate map. even claimed area by malaysia overlapped with indonesia border. Up to date, we got no issue in Natuna border with indonesia.

Shoal are not an island. Most of the time, James Shoal submerge under the water. Only surface few hour on super low tide.

Station Lima is a coral atoll and above the sea level all the time.

But some forumer stupid enough by hoping us to sink PLAN ship by submarine.

The 2nd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment of the Australian Army will be retrained as marines by 2014.

Historic Navy ship to be decommissioned in Pearl Harbor

The amphibious ship USS Denver, which has supported U.S. expeditionary forces in the Asia-Pacific region for more than 40 years, will be decommissioned in Pearl Harbor on Sept. 30, U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz's office said.

"The Denver has performed dutifully in its mission to safeguard America's interests in the Asia-Pacific and it is only fitting that she be decommissioned at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, ensuring a steady tempo of work for our civilian and military naval engineers," Schatz said in a release. "Hawaii will continue to play a key role in the Asia-Pacific rebalancing, which will be good for our workforce and local economy."

Schatz's office said the ship will be moved from Okinawa, Japan, to Hawaii. The decommissioning process involves civilian and military engineers, workers, and local contractors coordinating breakdown efforts, ensuring a steady stream of work for those employed at Pearl Harbor shipyard, his office said.

The Navy said in an internal message in July that it would decommission 12 ships in fiscal 2014, including seven frigates, the Los Angeles-class submarine USS Dallas, a combat support ship, a missile range instrumentation ship, a mine countermeasure ship, and the Denver.

The Denver is expected to be retained for potential future Navy use.

The 569-foot ship, commissioned in 1968, served in the Vietnam War and was a control ship for other amphibious ships in Operation Desert Storm.

The Navy said the Denver is the second oldest deployable ship in the Navy behind the USS Constitution, and is referred to as the "oldest gator in the swamp" for its amphibious role supporting Marine expeditionary forces.
