A moon pool accommodation on a ship like this interests me, though (as an occasional diver myself)... any info on that? Not sure about the Investigator but certainly on the old Southern Surveyor (was aboard her for an Oceanographic voyage in the Indian Ocean back in 2012... two days out of port the...
Here is my latest design, the Indomitable-class (as much as I love America, the Brits really know how to name ships ;) ) support cruiser: http://imageshack.com/a/img910/3397/ojnF0O.gif At the moment, well, there's an issue with the radar fit: it's the full on getup you'd expect for an anti-air focu...

Silly little nit pick... IFAS Frecinet Bay? Assuming you mean the body of water near the Freycinet Peninsula down here in Tassie, then you're after Great Oyster Bay . But I dare say there's other more appealing options avalible (given it's a ship with an amphibious warfare role and hence associated ...
1. Like you said, they wanted a domestically built ship. 2. A full Burke probably was outside their requirements - extra capability (and expense) they don't need. 3.
