The Navy’s ability to conduct substantial on amphibious operations will be restored with the MoD paying to convert all 22 of the RAF’s Merlin troop transport helicopters for sea movements
A very poorly worded statement. It could also be taken to mean that it will be the RAF who will fly their newly converted Merlin's, off the ships, in support of Naval amphibious operations

Lets hope the ministers actual statement, rather than the 5th floor "leaked" sound bites, is a bit clearer.
