The vessel is intended to supplement Australia’s larger amphibious warfare ships which are often deployed to the region in the aftermath of disasters. Unlike the Canberra class LHDs and HMAS Choules, ADV Reliant is expected to ‘operate semi-permanently’ in the South-West Pacific. This will allow the vessel to support resilience building and preparation activities before a disaster hits, while also staying on station during and after the event to provide a first-response capability
