British Apache's at sea.



NAVAIR looked at the possibility of just creating an instant navalized Apache just by designation.

Unfortunately.  It doesn't work that way.

Aviastar has the best information on the web concerning the work necessary to make an Apache into a proper weapon at sea.  Forces like the Brits might be content to pay the price (and they will pay with aircraft having shorter life spans due to sea salt) but pay it they will.  Check out the article at AVIASTAR to get more info on a properly navalized Apache.

    The airframes have a special corrosion resistant coating to prevent damage from sea salt. Its additional work over and above US Apaches but will result in a normal service life
