In diesem Artikel von Ende November, welcher sich eigentlich mit den F-35B Flugtests auf der QE beschäftigt, wird auch erneut die Möglichkeit einer australischen LHD-basierten Trägerflotte erörtert:

Establishing the potential for Australian aircraft carriers This testing program, particularly as a result of the parallel design process between both the F-35B and the Queen Elizabeth Class, provides an important model for at-sea training, maintenance and operations model for considering the development of Australian fleet of F-35Bs. Commodore Mike Utley, commander of the UK Carrier Strike Group reinforced the importance of the parallel design process and the effectiveness of incorporating the fifth-generation platform into a ship, designed to support the aircraft. "This ship was built specifically for the F-35B. So we are seeing a lot of rapid gain in our operating envelopes because the two have been modelled together. We are well through next year’s trials right now because we’ve been able to really put the foot down and get through the different test points," he said. Australia's Canberra Class LHDs, which are based upon the Spanish Juan Carlos Class vessels, are designed to operate a variety of fixed-wing aircraft, including the F-35B, however, Australia's LHDs were not built at the outset to accommodate the F-35B, lacking a number of structural measures and the specialised heat-resistant coatings designed to counter the increased heat generated by the F-35B's powerful turbine engines. Despite this, government and strategic policy influencers have made calls for Australia to consider expanding Australia's existing, $17 billion plan for 72 F-35A variants to include the procurement of the STOVL platform to support Australian expeditionary deployments and provide integrated, fixed-wing, fleet air support. Most recently, in 2014, former prime minister Tony Abbott and then defence minister David Johnston, as part of the then in consideration 2016 Defence White Paper, commissioned a review into Australia's LHDs operating a small fleet of the F-35B variant. While unsuccessful, it served to highlight the serious consideration given to re-establishing Australia's fixed-wing naval aviation capabilities and transforming Australia's maritime power-projection capabilities. In particular, the questions surrounding the impact of operating such a platform on broader defence capabilities, particularly the Air Force, as well as the need to increase the Navy's supporting surface fleet all raised significant questions. Additionally, the costs associated with modifying the LHDs and the F-35B aircraft themselves continue to pose significant challenges. Nevertheless, the option remains, especially as the global fleet and viability of F-35B continues to grow.
