HMAS Kanimbla (L 51)
HMAS ''Kanimbla'' (L 51) (formerly ) was the lead ship of the ''Kanimbla'' class Landing Platform Amphibious ships. Laid down in 1969 for the United States Navy (USN) as ''Newport'' class tank landing ship USS ''Saginaw'', the ship was acquired by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) in 1994 for conversion into an amphibious warfare transport ship.
Since entering RAN service in 1999, ''Kanimbla'' participated in numerous worldwide deployments, including the Iraq War, the response to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, and in response to the 2006 Fijian coup d'état. During the ship's career, two helicopters were lost in crashes. After a fire broke out aboard ''Kanimbla'' in late 2010, she and sister ship were removed from active service because of extensive problems found aboard both ships. The intention was to repair ''Kanimbla'' and return her to service by 2012, but this was deemed uneconomical. The ship was decommissioned in 2011, and sold for breaking in 2013.
