Yep, awesome stuff.

What I don't understand is why the Guvmint want to decommission these. As far as I know, the replacement Fa18's and the Joint Strike Fighter cannot fly from Australian soil to Indonesia and back without refueling, unlike the good old Aardvarks. So all the Indonesians have to do is bomb the carrier and everyone is up the creek. Though I am sure I am missing something obvious, but meh.
