No, that's the Albion Class. Albion is the original name of England by the Romans, probably from the Latin albus meaning white, and referring to the chalk cliffs along the south-east coast of EnglandRon5 wrote:Not the white cliffs then?

Re: Future Littoral Strike Ships
Personally I like this option, bring back the two Points, chick and cheap conversion to a mini-LPH carrying 4-6 Merlins each, a bit like a WW2 converted merchantman escort carrier. Wouldn't be happy to sacrifice LPD for it thoughJake1992 wrote:The way I see it is short term Argus will soon go with no replacement and the QEs + Fort Vic will be tied together so the question is how to provide aviation for LRG on the cheap and gives the best all round for the RN.
Option 1 -
Bring back the 2 points and convert the to LSS or convert 2 of the remaining 4.

From Sharkbait-san's post on FSSS. Interesting concept. Look similar to the Camel Laird's HADR ship proposal?

Its to train the crew of their Military Sealift Command, they don't operate helicopters so didn't bother with a hangar.

Re: Future Littoral Strike Ships
Far beyond the scope of the (seemingly dead) LSS concept however I thought this advert from Huntington Ingalls was rather good, showing the potential derivatives from their LPD Flight II hull.

I like their campaign, but the screen says just 'Image' in your post - without displaying it?Jensy wrote:showing the potential derivatives from their LPD Flight II hull.

Re: Future Littoral Strike Ships
Thanks, but no. Is there a page link, for where the image is drawn from?

Unless you have some industrial grade ad blocking software?ArmChairCivvy wrote:I like their campaign, but the screen says just 'Image' in your post - without displaying it?Jensy wrote:showing the potential derivatives from their LPD Flight II hull.

Re: Future Littoral Strike Ships
Finally! An LPD based cruiser. Far better to start with a large voluminous hull than try and turn a frigate into something it was never intended to be.
