@LinuxGalore We ordered 2, Canberra and Adelaide. I was actually quite shocked to see how big these actually are.. Apparently were were going to get a third but labor put an end to that deal >_<

@jorodmon You`re welcome

[LinuxGalore]

most Australians don't even know we have an order for a few of these and would be surprised to be told each one is almost 3 time bigger than our last aircraft carrier (the Melbourne).

Jose,parece que estos dias han sido fructiferos tanto para ti como para mi,ya que tu asististe el dia 17 a la botadura del ALHD Canberra y yo fui ayer a la botadura del remolcador Neptun efectuada en los astilleros Armon de Navia.

El video como siempre estupendo,muy bien por el reportero y la pena es que el barco bajo sin el puente,ojala que se pudieran ver botaduras mas a menudo en nuestros astilleros,esperemos que nuestro sector naval valla aumentando su cartera de pedidos.

Saludos amigo
