The Royal Australian Navy have put up a gallery of pictures from the arrival in Melbourne today of the new HMAS Canberra.
They tweeted just how important this ship and its sister Adelaide are going to be:

Canberra bombers yesterday, Canberra class aircraft carriers today (yes I know we’re still pretending it’s for humanitarian relief). Another little clue to the ship’s importance is they’re winding back the clock and putting the hull number 01 on the side.
