Jim Parkes (BAE) with Naming Lady for NUSHIP Canberra Mrs Vickie Coates unvail the name plate. Mid Caption: The first of two new Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD) ships has been officially named Canberra in a traditional Navy ceremony at BAE Systems Williamstown Dockyard Victoria. The ceremony was officiated by the Chief of Navy, Vice Admiral Ray Griggs, AO, CSC, RAN. The new LHD was named by Mrs Vickie Coates, wife of the late Rear Admiral Nigel Coates AM who served a distinguished career in the Navy and sadly passed away in June 2010. The naming of a ship is an important historical occasion for the Navy. This will be the third Australian Navy ship to bear the proud Canberra name. NUSHIP Canberra was blessed by Navy Principal Chaplain Stuart Hall, and cheered in true Navy tradition. Among the official guests were the Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Minister for Defence Stephen Smith, Chief of the Defence Force, General David Hurley, and the Spanish Minister for Defence, Mr Pedro Morenés Eulate. The new Canberra Class LHDs will provide Australia one of the most capable air-land-sea amphibious systems in the world. The LHDs will be able to land a force of over 2,000 personnel by helicopter and water craft, along with all their weapons, ammunition, vehicles and stores. This is the third Australian Navy ship to bear the proud name Canberra. Canberra (I) was a County Class heavy cruiser which served with distinction until she was heavily damaged and sunk during the Battle of Savo Island in August 1942. The Canberra class LHDs are bigger than Australia’s last aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne and will be more than 230 metres long, 27.5 metres high and weigh around 27,500 tonnes. NUSHIP Canberra is due to be accepted into Navy service in the first quarter of 2014. The second LHD is due to be named this time next year for accepting into Navy service in 2016.
