Unmanned CH-54?

To be honest several people have talked about a flying crane version of the CH-53 (simply remove the fuselage...Mike Sparks was big on the idea) so could a modern version work? I think so. What I wonder is how much weight would be saved by giving it the CH-54 treatment. Back on task though. Upgrade those engines to the same on the '53K and you might have a nice thing here. One problem (I think). RANGE!

UK's ‘Littoral Strike Ships’

 


“Our vision is for these ships to form part of 2 Littoral Strike Groups complete with escorts, support vessels and helicopters. One would be based East of Suez in the Indo-Pacific and one based West of Suez in the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Baltic. And, if we ever need them to, our two Littoral Strike Ships, our two aircraft carriers, our two amphibious assault ships Albion and Bulwark, and our three Bay Class landing ships can come together in one amphibious task force. This will give us sovereign, lethal, amphibious force. This will be one of the largest and best such forces anywhere in the world.”
