I believe the main changes are added accommodation for Royal Marines and their equipment. The carriers were originally designed to house 250 embarked troops, but the MOD are now stating POW will be capable of up to 900 in extreme conditions. So we can expect they are adding a minimum of 250-500 positions. Makes you wonder what they will be stripping to make room.RetroSicotte wrote:I remain doubtful that "amphibious mods" are anything more than some re-organisation of storage areas and internal planning on where Royal Marines travel through to reach certain areas, and very little actual physical changes.
There has also been mention of enlarging corridors, from the new accommodation to allow RM to travel to the flight deck with their equipment. So some slight structural changes.
