The reason for that is because these two drawings are older drawings I made some time ago. I never uploaded at least half of my drawings, for possible use in AU's. But I'll see what I can do.
the rhibs are not really a problem, but please switch the lcvp.... that's an easy fix IMO.

I don't really get why you need such a big amphibious force. If the Cold War is still going strong then the big enemy in the East is still around, and He'll hit you over land. Sure, you have a couple of small scale colonies, so you'll need at least a token amphibious force, but your overriding concern is Soviet air strikes and submarines.

True, but with lessons learned from the Falklands war (as West New Genuea is still under Dutch control) and amphibious landings on Vietnam etc., the need for amphibious ships was appearing. And you'll need to combine todays world with an ongoing cold war, so the Russians are still present, but the two Gulf Wars etc would have also taken place. So it is just widening your view from pure blue-water to green-water as well.

You're Nations population is almost spot on with Canada in the present day, and your GDP is less, so how can you justify this amount of defence spending?

Holy crap I see I made a copy-paste error from the original Dutch Information. Here are the right figures: My AU version of the Netherlands has 34.6 million residents, present day Canada has 34.3 million. The GDP of my AU Netherlands is 1474 million, opposed to Canada's 1330 million. Annuals defense expenditures are 3.2% of GDP, which equals 47.2 billion.
