So (continuation), the modifications of the "Juan Carlos I (L61) class" Amphibious Assault Ship required to satisfy the Aussie Navy needs were made by NAVANTIA and Tenix, and at a later moment NAVANTIA and BAE, which bought Tenix in 2008. It sounds like if now BAE pretends that the "Canberra class" LHDs are their product, saying BAE is the main or prime contractor and Navantia the sub... Uuummm... I remember to have read some time ago that during the first years of the project, even after that BAE acquired "Tenix", that Tenix was the "associate" company of Navantia in Australia for the constructions of the ships... Anyway, the truth is that they are basically the product, construction, design and technology of NAVANTIA, with the ulterior modifications made by all Tenix, NAVANTIA, and BAE, that probably do not represent more than 10% or 15% of the total work, design and overall project... After all the reality is that the "original" "Juan Carlos I (L61) class" Strategic Projection/Amphibious Assault Navy Ship was launched in 2008, and Commissioned in 2010; and that NAVANTIA (a company from Spain), is one of the biggest and most advanced Navy/Maritime/Shipyards/Defense companies worldwide. Besides Military and civil vessels, they also make big engines, turbines, maintenance/life-cycle, systems, consulting etc. related to Navy/Naval sector and Defense.

Si, soy español y nunca hubo pruebas de aterrizaje de F-18, Mirages etc desde o sobre el L-61. Se necesitarían catapultas para lanzar los aviones y este barco no tiene. Tampoco tiene sistema de retención por gancho para aterrizajes. Dime donde lo has visto por que es imposible.

Nacho Lafuente Giménez Todas las operaciones de aviones, aterrizaje y despegue en portaaviones de la OTAN, deben estar homologadas, sus pilotos sean de F-18, Harriers or Rafale pasan anualmente pruebas de homologación de forma que, por ejemplo, los pilotos de nuestros Harrier pueden aterrizar en otros portaaviones de la OTAN y el R-11 no pasó nunca mas homologaciones que para despegue y aterrizaje de Harriers. Además, ¿para que iban a hacer esas pruebas, si despues no son capaces de aterrizar? El portaaviones Almirante Kuznetsov, tiene 300 metros de eslora, 70 m más que el LHD Juan Carlos I y 124'7 m mas que el R-11. Tiene una Sky-Jump, si, de 12º. Pero, además, el R-11 o el L-61 no tienen deflectores para desviar la salida de gases de las toberas del avion ni cables de retención. En el portaaviones Almirante Kuznetsov, para despegar el avión es retenido momentáneamente, por unos pequeños sujetadores en forma de cuñas de las 2 ruedas del tren de aterrizaje principal, que se levantan desde la cubierta mediante un mecanismo hidráulico, en forma similar a los deflectores de aire, para detener el empuje del avión con sus motores de post-combustión encendidos al máximo; justo antes del momento del despegue, los sujetadores de las ruedas se bajan rápidamente a nivel de la cubierta, mediante un pistón de aire comprimido y permiten, que el avión se libere de su retención, pase por encima de los sujetadores retraídos a nivel de la cubierta e inicie, el carreteo sobre la plataforma de lanzamiento hasta llegar a la rampa ski-jump para finalmente despegar del portaaviones. ¡¡Es el único portaaviones con este sistema!! Y te repito que no, que nunca se hacen ese tipo de pruebas en un portaaviones que esta pensado para otras cosas y otras funciones. Se realizan homologaciones para sistemas compatibles.

This video is about the Australian version of the original Spanish Juan Carlos I LHD. While they are similar on the outside, their internal layout is different. Spanish version focuses more on air power while the Australian version focuses more on amphibious assault capability. They are also slightly different in displacement. So my point is, THIS IS NOT SPANISH SHIP JUAN CARLOS I.

This is not a copy... This ship was requested By Australia and the base ship design proposed was the Juan Carlos class. Navantia and BAE Systems then took to modifying and building it to the needs and Specifications required by the ADF. A copy would be if we (Australia) just took your ship design and recreated/reverse-engineered it to be the same as a juan carlos... You may think its a copy because in the video they did not mention Juan Carlos, but this is a demonstration and presentational video for Australia. The whole program was years in the making and everything Juan Carlos had to do with it was at the initial stages of development, not the final product....

Quoted from Wikipedia regarding acquisition program of LHD Canberra Class... "A Request For Information and invitation for tenders was sent to two European shipbuilders in February 2004; French company Direction des Constructions Navales (DCN) and Spanish company Navantia.[9] Shipbuilders from the United States were not included, as American amphibious warfare ships were too large for Australian requirements, and were either too personnel-intensive or could not operate the number of helicopters required.[10] DCN responded with an enlarged version of the Mistral-class amphibious assault ship; 2,000 tonnes (2,000 long tons; 2,200 short tons) greater displacement than the 22,000-tonne (22,000-long-ton; 24,000-short-ton) vessels active with the French Navy.[11] A design being built by Navantia for the Spanish Navy, the "Buque de Proyección Estratégica" (Strategic Projection Ship, later commissioned as Juan Carlos I) was offered by the Spanish, partnering with Australian company Tenix Defence.[11] Although 4,000 tonnes (3,900 long tons; 4,400 short tons) larger and with an increased troop, vehicle, and helicopter carrying capability compared to the Mistrals, the Spanish ship was still under construction at the time of the offer, and was not due to enter service until late 2008.[11] On 20 June 2007, Minister for Defence Brendan Nelson announced that the A$3 billion contract to build the Canberra class had been awarded to Navantia and Tenix.[12][13] Although an unproven design, the Spanish offer was closer to the RAN's requested requirements, and there were benefits from ordering the Canberras and the new Hobart-class air warfare destroyers from the same company." Again, Not a copy, just a proper business deal. Going by the timeline, your Juan Carlos 1 wasn't even fully built or named at the point of the ADF's request. Because of the modifications it would be false to call it a Juan Carlos I Class, so a new Class name was chosen...

I find it kind of odd they didn't mention the use of VSTOL aircraft since they have the jump ramp. This seems like it would complement about 60%-70% of the capabilities of the American LHA/LHD fleet, with a proven hull. This is certainly better than reinventing the wheel with the HMS Queen Elizabeth which will cost 6 times as much as her predecessor with 2 times the capability or the USS Gerald Ford which will cost 2 times as much as her predecessor with almost the same capabilities. For a country like Australia and the missions they do around the South Pacific and Indian ocean this will be great add on. I just hope they don't forget logistical support, because that is what makes the US Navy work not the armed ships.

The "Canberra class" LHDs do NOT resemble the "Juan Carlos I (L61) class" Strategic Projection/Amphibious Assault Navy Ship... They are very similar, and clearly brother vessels. The "Canberra class" are almost totally based on the Design and technology by NAVANTIA. Almost 100% based on the "Juan Carlos I (L61) class" and the technology and designs by Navantia, with the necessary modifications to adapt it to the Australian needs, systems and characteristics of the Australian Navy and armies.

What planet are you on? This is an Landing Platform Dock, based on the Spanish Juan Carlos Class LPD. The hull is built in Spain and superstructure installed in Oz by BAE Systems. This ship is designed for amphibious assault, able to carry an array of helicopter types (and more usefully, amphibious assault craft which are launched from the well deck). The Spanish also operate (up to 6) Harriers from their LPD, and would hope to transition to F-35B (STOVL) if they ever manage to reduce their 25.3% un-employment and rub two pence/cents together anytime this century. It is not able to operate the types you mention. Grow up.
@pedrofmc000010 жыл бұрын
You both men are wrong, this ship is a LHD not a LPD and can work with Harriers and the future F-35B if it's finished successfully. Helicopters as well, of course. Nothing else. F-18, Mirage, F-5 and Eurofighter can't take off and landing from/on this ship. Not only the hull is Spanish there're other systems made in Spain. You can find on KZbin how these hulls were transported to Australia, so it was better to assemble the electronic systems once the ships were there. BAE is a minor partner in this project since these LHD's are a copy of the LHD L-61 class "Juan Carlos I". It's true that the Australian version have some changes to requirement and needs of Australian Navy. But it's a Spanish design almost totally.

For the serious record though, Navantia has built more large ships recently for the Australian Navy than for Spain. While the LHD hulls are Spanish, the insides are not. Similar with the Air Warfare Destroyers - Spanish hulls, American engines, American Aegis system integrated with an Australian tactical interface, Finnish propellers, Euro torpedoes, Australian anti-anti-ship missile decoys and Australian fit-out. It's a combined effort that's produced some good ships; so deja de quejarte.

Only USA and France have enough capacity to keep and design an Aircraft carriers with nuclear propulsion needed for launching war aircrafts. From the Cavour only can take off Harriers as well but it's smaller. Keeping aircraft carriers even if they are a pocket version is really expensive. The UK's Navy maybe won't finish the two aircraft carrier in project. They want to sell one of them and the other to work in common with France. The economic crisis doesn't forgive anyone. We've already retired in advance our only pocket aircraft carrier, the R-11 "Principe de Asturias" and its Harriers are working on our LHD.

Lo que hay que ver y leer, Australia quiso renovar su flota de barcos anfibios para la armada, por lo que abrió las puertas, Naval Group (francesa) presento el Clase Mistral, Navantia (española) presento, Juan Carlos I y de las 2 eligieron el ultimo en 2007, ya que se acercaba a los planes de Australia, Tenix (que aun no lo comprara BAE) se encargaría del trabajo final como de su mantenimiento en Australia, el barco se creo en España, el astillero de Navantia en Ferrol, cuando se completo todos los componentes que Navantia debía hacer se envió a Australia, Tenix.... que ya en ese momento paso a ser BAE Systems Australia se encargaría del resto, osea ensamblar todo y meter los componente australianos, BAE no es socio ni nada en el proyecto, el 2º barco se hizo igual, no se hizo como en Turquía, que Navantia lo llevo a cabo con un socio local, ya que ellos lo querían así, el diseño Australiano es casi igual, salvo ciertas modificaciones, el tamaño y muchas de sus funciones son iguales, BAE Systems no puede atribuirse el merito ni en su catalogo dicho barco, igual que Navantia no lo hace con otros proyectos antiguos. Por cierto el barco..... bueno los modelos Españoles y Australianos, tienen la misma capacidad aérea, España hizo las homologación para el V-22, que como tienen la misma capacidad Australia tambien la tiene, conjuntamente hicieron para el F-35 que tambien las pasaron, otra cosa que acaben usando dichos aparatos, aun que la Armada Española esta interesado en los V-22 para su barco. Por ultimo este no es un mensaje para dejar bien a Navantia ni desprestigiar a BAE, por que esta ultima asta donde tengo entendido o es socio o se ocupo de los actuales portaaviones británicos, Navantia por ahora el único portaaviones que se le puede atribuir es al Príncipe de Asturias, que la Armada Española tuvo los huevos de usar Harrier en el barco siendo los primeros, a raíz de eso el resto de las armadas empezaron a usar dichos aviones en portaaviones, por donde iba, a si, que fue reemplazado por este barco que estamos discutiendo que ojo, no es un portaaviones y aunque la Armada Española esta interesado en disponer de uno (que con la situación actual esta muy lejos de lograrse) esa es la diferencia, aparte de que BAE fabrica submarinos y Navantia aun que ya lo hicieron, actualmente están con su primer proyecto propio y va con unos años de retraso, que el 2º submarino saldrá a la mar antes que el 1º..... en principio, que como le cogan el punto en el diseño el tiempo se reduce y el 3º igual acaba antes que las modificaciones que tienen que hacer al 1º por ciertos errores de construcción ;)
