except that the f-35b isn't a conop on it and never was and support will be from off board including f-35's. From what I have heard the ADF say if gov want a fixed wing option they need to buy extra ship/s for that conop.
the point I was making is that even though we could, we wont even run f-35b on our LHD, let alone AEW/EA.
As current air AEW/EA is off board for US LHA and it comes down to systems, not everything is on one platform
