The F-35B+LHA combination could be one of the most cost effective and efficient solutions for engagement in the changing landscape of crisis response.
That must be the first time anyone's read 'F-35' and 'cost-effective' in the same sentence....
Could be but isn't going to be since the original plans of acquiring 6 LHA's have already been altered, the LHA's will be cut @2 , the following ones will once again be LHD's (with well deck).
