Q: How many dudes will it hold? Q2: Is it armed at all?
Q3: Is it equipped with ECM/ECCM/EW/Decoys/PDS?

A really fascinating ship.

HMAS Jervis Bay can carry 500 combat equipped troops plus an unspecified
number of vehicles. Good luck getting info on current weapons/defensive
fits...:-)

500 + all equipment.

No, BUT... in case of any threat, stationms exist for fitting
self-defence weapons. Usually .50 cal mgs and numerous (12+)
Laser-guided  Anti-Aircraft Missiles (RBS-70) which are very effective
in a naval environment, though you pay for it in maintenance.

Only when needed. Plans will exist for fitting an autonomous NULKA
