Besides, at the current rate we'll only have RW platforms and crews to embark on them anyway.....
Even with Carson blades, that's asking an awful lot of the CHF surely? When is SK4 OSD again?
Interesting though how the RN don't seem to be clamouring for the right to badge and operate half of the Chinook fleet or even half of the RAF Merlin fleet
If you'd done an assessment of just how difficult it is to try and support them (particularly the latter) on a ship for a sustained period, neither would you!
LPH is definitely a good secondary use, but the ship is not set up for it in many of the details that matter (EMF armouries, mags and issue centres, vehicle decks and access to FD, EMF accommodation, assault routes). Those changes would be non-trivial.
