FSX HMAS Melbourne Carrier
The HMAS Melbourne is a fictional Australian-flag Nimitz-Class carrier. In the year 2006, the US decided to help defray the costs of the ongoing military operations by leasing the original Nimitz carrier to their trusted allies, the Australians. This lease provides that the Australians will pay for all of the operating costs ($160 million per year) and will not use the carrier to attack the US – the latter being cause for immediate termination of the lease. The Australians have used the ship to circumnavigate the continent of Australia several times, putting on magnificant air shows at the major coastal cities, and are planning a trip to America in the very near future.
