I posted yesterday that the idea of using LPD's as mini-LHD's has merit. Well my friends Leesa and Marcase were a bit skeptical.
Fair enough.
But the main area of disagreement dealt with the limited space for aviation and in particular the limited areas for aviation maintenance.
My rebuttal comes in the form of what Singapore is doing with their LPD. Below you'll see a sales brochure (yeah I know a Sales Brochure) but the point is this...there is plenty of space...on the San Antonio class the space is evident and on the older LSD's and LPD's the space has been made available with the use of removable hangars.
If we're going to do distributed operations. If we're going to have mini-ARGs then this is something that must be done.
