EDA-R.

I continue to be fascinated by the EDA-R...the French solution to the 'enhanced' landing craft problem.  The fascination isn't with its operation...I don't think that its any more capable than a legacy landing craft with improved thrust.  It's rising and lowering deck doesn't impress...I find it to be overly complicated with little utility.

It's like a strange painting or a car accident (no injuries)...I stare in fascination and wonder how someone could come up with that.  Pics via the French Navy website.
