The Australian Navy...traditionally the smallest of the Australian services is putting itself in position to be the major force in that Defense establishment for the future.
Between the LHD's that they're buying...the LPD's that the swindled out of the Brits and the Hobart Air Defense Destroyers they're becoming a Navy dominate force.
No matter what anyone says a Marine Corps is inevitable.
The Royal Australian Marine Corps.
I like the sound of that!
Sidenote: Something to watch will be to see if any interest is expressed in upgraded AAVs. If the Australians start doing more than teaming their Infantry Officers with our AAV platoons and actually send evaluators to check out the possibility of joining with the USMC, Japan and Brazil in buying updated vehicles then you'll know that an Australian Marine Corps is in the works.
