The DDS are facing problems with overstretch of their Extender oiler fleet with the current number of deployments and commitments but things should get slightly easier as A156 Pentane has just joined the fleet. The DDS will build 3 more Extenders this year out of the 4 Provider/Extenders to be due in the rest of the year (initially it was to be 2 each). A141 Extender will also have it's first major refit/overhaul postponed until next year.
L112 Gondwana is the second Pangaea class LHD and has joined the DDS though as yet the amphibious landing force is yet to enter service. The lead ship Pangaea has been working on training and surveying missions recently and it is expected Gondwana will do the same though later in the year the DDS plan to set up their first Amphibious Squadron.
Coril class shuttle A558 Christine has been withdrawn. The ship required reactor refuelling but as it's service life is very limited the DDS thought it uneconomic.
