The USA’s New LHA-R Ships: Carrier Air + Amphibious Assault (updated)
Having read the above and studied the design requirements, I still wonder why the US Navy hasnt come up with a way of providing a ramp for the F-35b/ Harrier.
I know they dont want to lose a Helicopter spot, but surely there is a way in this day and age to create some sort of hydrolic mechanism to creat a curved ramp at a moments notice, especially with the advances in materials used on these sort of ships.
Just wondering why they wouldnt tried to make this happen in order to give their Expeditionary Strike Group a bit more bite?
