HMAS Manoora was built for the United States Navy as the USS FAIRFAX COUNTY and commissioned into the RAN in November 1994. She has undergone extensive modifications for her new role as a helicopter capable amphibious transport ship. Manoora's primary role is to transport, lodge ashore and support an Army contingent of up to 450 troops, their vehicles and equipment. Manoora is fitted with a helicopter hangar capable of supporting up to four Army Black Hawk or three Navy Sea King helicopters. Army landing craft can also be carried on the forward flight deck to provide ship-to-shore transport. Accessed through a stern door, 810 square metres of storage space is available on the vehicle deck for Army vehicles and other large items of equipment. The ship has operations and planning rooms and a comprehensive array of communications equipment to support joint amphibious operations. Manoora is fitted with the largest and most comprehensive medical facilities in the fleet, with a 40-bed hospital incorporating full surgical and recovery facilities. Manoora is the second RAN ship to carry the name. The first was a former coastal passenger ship requisitioned during World War II . Manoora I was active throughout the Pacific Theatre seeing extensive action, including the landings at Morotai, Leyte Gulf, Lingayen Gulf, Tarakan, Brunei Bay and Balikpapan.
