Ep 3 of 'Securing a Safe Passage: SAF in the Gulf of Aden" did feature at least one with blades folded.

I recall the Royal Navy has customised their AH-64 Apaches and Chinooks to operate on the Albion (176m long). I'm thinking a navalised help might be better than Pumas, but it would mean purchasing another new helo (unless we get more seahawks?).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-72992017939132057632010-11-03T10:58:37.596+08:002010-11-03T10:58:37.596+08:00Isn't this more similar to a smaller Dokdo cla...Isn't this more similar to a smaller Dokdo class?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-43066514562018623862010-11-02T16:19:00.235+08:002010-11-02T16:19:00.235+08:00Wow, I am pleasantly surprised!!!Wow, I am pleasantly surprised!!!goat89https://www.blogger.com/profile/11974550560309398896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-203309983713664992010-11-02T16:12:28.095+08:002010-11-02T16:12:28.095+08:00Hi bdique,

The Super Ps don't have self-folding blades and during OFE, the helos were maintained in the open.<br /><br />But that's all we have, so we make do until the Ops planners can use the GOA experience to argue for an upsized option.<br /><br />DavidDavid Boeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401913253357584603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-29281960772954555022010-11-02T15:30:09.841+08:002010-11-02T15:30:09.841+08:00I actually doubt there will be operational comprom...I actually doubt there will be operational compromises. From the CO of the landing force's point of view, this gives him/her new flexibility in choosing how to land an entire battalion sized force. Yes, like the 'older' Endurance, there's the option to land the entire battalion using FCUs, but now there's the option to land the battalion via heli-assault as well.<br /><br />The flat deck, I hope, would not only be available for ferrying troops to and fro, but also as an extended platform for sub hunting. If more S-70s are obtained, the Endurance 160 can capitalise on thier anti-sub and anti-ship capabilities to become a truly versatile ship.Ben Choonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084017720412706428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-76150533021278099642010-11-02T12:30:58.531+08:002010-11-02T12:30:58.531+08:00Wicked!Wicked!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
