Lol....the group of idiots trying to give the Navy a STOVL carrier instead of the amphibious warfare ship it asked for are back! Happy dreaming. :yo: Gosh....I can't believe how some people try to suggest how & what the Navy should do without even knowing what the requirement is about! We...

All LHD/LPH competitors are within 25-30k tons. Including Juan Carlos, Mistral, Fincantieri design and Dokdo. The 40,000+ ton requirement is for Fleet Support Ships I believe. Like the DCNS Brave-class.

They actually classify it as "LPH" Landing Platform Helicopter. In other words, LHD.

Don't you all guys think it's funny when Navy asks for an LHD and everyone wants to give them a STOVL/STOBAR carrier instead ? :rofl:

Only aircraft that IN's LHDs will carry are helicopters. Even VSTOL fighters are not being considered. Which choppers? Well, definitely the Naval Dhruv, S-70B-2, and whichever 12-ton NMRH and light helo is selected by IN in future.

The US never offered them is one thing, even if they do, it'll come with too many strings attached is another.

Those were already sold to Egypt. We're most likely to get the Juan Carlos-class from the Spanish company Navantia. As of Wasp-class, there's no chance we're getting them.
