While CAMM-MR does look good it is lagging behind its main competitors in a few areas - SM- 2 Range - 170km Altitude - >25k ft Speed - Mach 3.5 Aster 30 Ranger - >120km Altitude - >20k ft Speed - Mach 4.5 CAMM-MR - Range - >100km Altitude - 10k ft Speed - Mach 3 It does have it pluses over the comp...

From what I’ve been able to find all 3 of the CAMM family have a max altitude of 10km ft but I’d been happy if wrong. My main point though is that MR is lagging in all areas compared to it competitors so the question has to be does it’s cheaper price and dual packing make up for that ? If not then ...

Has this been confirmed ? I’m surprised it’ll be so much larger in diameter than CAMM and CAMM-ER, do we know it’s confirmed diameter ?

Has its range been confirmed yet either ?

For me it can be split in to 3 Ideal out come , Good out come, Likely out come Ideal out come - 2 x Trieste style LHD ( F35 capable ) 2 x Large LDP ( 6 merlin hanger, 4 LCU well dock ) 4 x Larger LSD based off the same hull as the LPD This is very unlikely with out a major up tick in spending. Good ...

If you want to do raids, then a current platform can do that The rivers, T26 and T31 are all designed to carry extra people (The RM) around The rivers have capacity, with at full load having a amazing ratio of 50 crew and 50 RM, And has been show to be deployed with the RM when doing all sorts of m...

I think we need to look at what a GP frigate will be going forward, as it stands up until now they have been second rate ships doing lower level ops and to some extent making up the number since they can’t under take the high end specialist role. With that in mind the current T31 or even an uparmed...

Damen Crossover 139 concept..... could undertake is far more than a current GP frigate like the T31. It could do small raiding / special ops, contribute to a larger ARG It's a nice concept, a nice option for security/special forces type operations, and a good option for a small navy. However, it ca...

How about japans then since they are going the B and carrier route ?

Naval News reporting the two Japanese ~ 20,000 Aegis System Equipped BMD Vessels with initial funding this year for design and aquisition with 128 VLS cells for SM-3 Block 2A and SM-6 missiles due to be commissioned in FY27 and FY28. Noticable is that Japan with its world class shipbuilding industr...

My I self I believe the T32s should be based off of the Damen Crossover 139 fitted with 1 x 5”, 2 x 40mm, 1 Phalanx / Drangonfire, 6 ExSL for 24 CAMM and 16 MK41. This type of ship can operate as a standard GP frigate but it’s flexible design would allow it to operate small RM raids or contribute to...

You could but you could also say that our nato commitment could be centred around JEF with the army brigade being deployed thru a port rather than over a beach into Scandinavia. We would be defending the Nordic countries not retaking them. If the future really is tiltrotor with marine raiding/fwd r...

It’d be great if between the 3 of us ( USA, UK, Australia ) we could convince Canada to join the AUSUK SSN project with 30 odd subs ordered between the 3 smaller nations and the US ordering what every very large number they need.

Absolutely the last thing you want to do it is start adding exquisite requirements on the platform, it’s what drives increased thru life costs, especially weapons integration costs.
