I wonder if Spain has some patrol ships we can borrow for either properly enforcing our borders or, depending on the political will, provide more happy-cabby service for illegals.
Maybe this Spanish support ship could make a few runs providing dock-to-dock service for illegals.
Seriously though, it does look like a nice ship.
I wonder how many years it would take for the DMO/RAN to ruin a new ship with their current support methods if Australia were to procure some of these?

Finally, after Sir Francis Drake the Armada has won.
Not to 'ding' Spain on this one, or any other nation for that matter... but why not RAN consider a 'Lease' for all her medium-term Naval support and combatant (and Sub?) requirements?
Be they of Turkish, Spanish, Norwegian, or whathaveyou origin?
And then buy time to refine a more sustainable, sensible and cost-effective, longer-term RAN acquisition strategy?
