1. Is the idea of Apache at sea really a new one?
2. Are 847 NAS going to get them or will RN/RM pilots/others be posted to the AAC units?
3. Surely the cannon (can't remember calibre) could be very useful?

By the way, the USN are intended to use cannon carried by helicopters for disposing of mines on or near the surface, by using supercavitating (whatever that means) ammunition. Perhaps we could do the same, given the cuts to MCMV and Minehunter numbers?
