Don't overlook the fact that, if you're suggesting the MoD decide to ditch the amphibious capability, it's slightly more complex than just CHF. You're suggesting the LPH (including the CVS currently covering the role), all of the supporting assets and...oh, yes.....the Royal Marines. Plus the fact that it's a core national capability as defined in SDSR, it's not quite as simple as just saying that we made a mistake and don't need it to resolve some bad relationships between services over a few helicopters.
