LCM2000

The LCM2000 was a class of Mechanised Landing Craft (LCM) built for the Australian Army by Australian Defence Industries (ADI) (now Thales Australia). The LCMs were ordered in 2001 and the first craft was originally scheduled to enter service with the Army in 2003. The craft proved too large for their intended purpose, however, and were only used for training and minor exercises before the project was cancelled in February 2011. The LCM2000 mechanised landing craft would later be purchased by the Republic of Singapore Navy in April 2012.
