Endurance, built by Singapore Technologies Marine, is the first of four 140m LSTs intended to replace five ex-US Navy 'County'-class vessels by 2002.

Article Abstract:

The UK Ministry of Defense confirmed that the leader of the UK's Future Carrier (CVF) Integrated Project Team, Ali Baghaei left his post to head ADIs naval business group in Australia. His departure coincided with continuing controversy over the pending appointment of a physical integrator (PI) to manage ship-building strategy, but a MoD spokesman who mentioned that it was Ali's decision to move on to fresher challenges denied this.
