The necessity of taking an embarked helicopter will only continue until the arrival into service of the LHD’s. I assume that after that time there will be no need to house a helicopter(s). They will of course be used in re-supply but will be embarked with the LHD.
So a temporary hangar appears quite appropriate.

New landing ship set for capability boost

Max Blenkin, AAP Defence Correspondent

Australia’s new landing ship, the surplus British fleet auxiliary Largs Bay, is set for a major upgrade even though it hasn’t yet been delivered.

Largs Bay, which will be renamed for Australian navy service, appears to be a bargain at $100 million.

To boost its capability to land troops and equipment where no port facilities are available, defence will buy a pair of mexeflotes – large diesel engine powered rafts able to transport loads of up to 110 tonnes.

Mexeflotes can be transported attached to the ship’s side or in the rear well deck. Britain used them extensively during the Falklands war and in recent relief operations.

Lufthansa B747-8i

She does look quite good. Will be better when it has the full titles on it.

Very nice shot indeed.:)

Yesterday Dave the Tosser gave Pakistan £600 million, whilst telling them terribly sorry we were that everything in the world is our fault. Today we flog off part of our amphibious fleet on the cheap. This nation is ruled by idiots and must surely be doomed.

I like the idea of a artillery ship. Maybe 2 127mm guns up front and MLRS system or two at the rear. With also harpoons and other smaller land attack missles. Just a thought

New build AMX with upgraded engine. Would be the way to go for a cheap solution

This thread has a very silly title. Both “A400 beater” & ‘beats KC-390’ are ridiculous, the first for reasons which have already been stated, & the second – well, this is a project which began in 2001. The aircraft was rolled out in 2007, i.e. when the C-390 project began.

In other news, the Boeing 707 beat the A350! It flew years earlier! :diablo:

Very True and the C 2 is a mature product.

In case nobody’s said it for a while . . .

Keep up the good work! I, for one, appreciate this thread.

As do i. I come back for the updates too
