Portuguese LPD to be through-deck?

An article in Sea Power Magazine linked to below seems to indicate so.

I suspect then that some reporters are not doing their job properly…go to the Royal New Zealand Navy web site below

That contradicts all public articles down this way on the deal!

Either way, it is still a real LPD as commented by Terran, I hope they do better with this ship and they did with the Charles Uppham.

RNZN MRV is a Merwede Design

Ja Worsley Ahhh yes now I know the Enforce series, the Enforcer 8000 in a modified design is what the RNZN is buying as their Multirole Fleet Support vessel.

Sorry but the RNZN is not buying a Enforcer series ship….they are buying a ship being adapted from the RO-Pax ferry design the ‘Ben My Chree’ and is being built by Merwede shipbuilding of the Netherlands.

I didn’t know that they were planning to get a real LPD.

seems like everyone is getting in on the act these days! Are there any pics and techs on the Enforcer that they are looking at buying?
