Canberra's four new Landing Craft (designated LLC) have embarked the ship's well dock via the stern door for the very first time. It was a sight to see as the four LLCs made their way from HMAS Waterhen to Canberra who had successfully secured to the buoy proudly flying the Australian White Ensign with Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House as a backdrop. The LLCs came into station approximately 100 yards astern of Canberra's position, where they waited for the First Lieutenant to give the order to come into Canberra's dock, one by one. Members of Canberra's ship's company lined the quarterdeck and the Heavy Vehicle Deck to watch the ship's docking operations and see the LLC's come into the ship for the first time. Once the four LLCs were inside the ship and secured, the stern door was closed. The well dock was drained of water leaving the LLCs in their resting place while the ship conducts a reduced activity period over Christmas.
