HMAS Adelaide (III) L01 is one of the Royal Australian Navy’s largest and most versatile ships—a Canberra-class landing helicopter dock (LHD) commissioned in 2015. Designed for power and presence, Adelaide can carry over 1,000 embarked personnel, up to 110 vehicles, and a fleet of helicopters, making her vital for amphibious operations, disaster relief, and humanitarian missions. Her expansive flight deck and well dock allow rapid deployment of troops, vehicles, and supplies, while state-of-the-art medical and command facilities make her a true city at sea.
Adelaide’s service already includes joint exercises with regional partners and steadfast support for communities in need, embodying the spirit of service and Australian ingenuity. Whether braving open ocean or providing a safe haven after disaster, HMAS Adelaide stands as a beacon of hope, strength, and national pride—her crew always ready to serve and lead wherever she is needed.
