BAE enters the LHD fray.







Think Defense gives us basically a two-fer in a post on BAE's attempt to grab some of the LHD market. 

*Sidenote*  I don't know whats up with your feed Think Defense but I can't for the life of me make it over to your regular website...just the Tumblr nonsense!  Fix it bud.

The two-fer involves ...
1.  The author is obviously concerned about the fact that once the Ocean goes away, so does the LHD concept in the Royal Navy.  It remains to be seen whether a full deck aircraft carrier can fulfill the role---in my mind it cannot, but we will see.
2.  The second point is that the author appears to be concerned about the lack of expeditionary potential that remains with the Royal Navy and gives a couple of options to recapture that lost capability.  I like it but I doubt that it will fly with a nation that is looking to gut its military in order to pay for social programs.

Its definitely worth a read...if you can get into his website.
