South Korea is Jumping on the "Aviation Ship" Band Wagon

Reports out this week say the South Corea has desided to opt for an Aviation Ship/ Helo Carrier. Two models have been under evaluation (The NUM ship as the Italians are buying and a version that Thales is offering) The Thales model is the clear favourite, the NUM having the Ramp on it would mean less rome for Helo opperations which is the primary role for the proposed ship. South Korea have no intention of buying Vstol F-35B’s for opperation aboard the ship but are interested in acquiring more Lynx helos.
