Not that I'm aware of at this stage Jeff. It would be a reasonable trajectory for Australia to follow though (pun intended).

Can you link to any pictures showing them landing on the Canberra?

All I have seen to date are the MRH-90s landing on the HMAS Choules.

There has been no aviation training on nuship Canberra as of yet. All MRH 90 training has so far been conducted at naval base HMAS Albatross.

After months of training with synthetic airframes, NUSHIP Canberra’s Air Department was exposed to the real thing at HMAS Albatross earlier this month.

The team conducted aviation operations training with an MRH90 helicopter on the Landing Helicopter Deck (LHD) dummy deck which simulates the ship's flight deck.

​

But the last training aboard Juan Carlos was last year...and now the Australian Navy has their own vessel, the Canberra, which is being crewed by their people as they go through trials. The second is coming right along too.
