Is that what you're suggesting and, if so, have you read anything authoritative along those lines?ComNavOpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669644332369727431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579907756656776056.post-57479978127867708512012-10-28T10:01:03.168-07:002012-10-28T10:01:03.168-07:00The new amphibs.

New equipment means loses and we will eventually lose a few. Put 20 or so in a warehouse storage.<br /><br />And 71 million a peice isnt bad when you consider the amount of fire power these ships can bring to shore and the speed they can do it at.<br /><br />Maybe the navy can get realistic about its demands for a 50+k mi range for deploying amphibious forces.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074400411280663565noreply@blogger.com
