The Royal Australian Navy’s (RAN) future HMAS Choules (L100) is due to call at Cape Town tomorrow. The former British landing ship dock, RFA Largs Bay, is on her way to Australia where she will be commissioned next month. The RAN bought the ship from the Royal Fleet Auxiliary earlier this year for £65 million.
The Australia in August announced the ship would be named for Chief Petty Officer Claude Choules who died in May this year. “He died in Perth at the age of 110. This was a significant moment when the world lost its last living link with those who had served in WW1 [World War One],

Quer isto dizer em tabernáculo ( vernaculo da taberna), que a Australia comprou um navio de guerra à Inglaterra por 65 milhões de piatras Ukeizianas, e, tanto quanto se saiba, nem a Inglaterra está em polvorosa com a venda do L 100, a contar comissões, tão pouco a Austrália anda acabrunhada pela compra. Estórdinario, não?
E não esqueçamos que em Inglaterra, os navios são tratados como meninas....
