Wow..a 65000 ton LPH. The USMC will be jealous.

Joking aside, what's to stop a MAG Configured airgroup going to sea continually? A balanced force of 12-18 F35, 4-6 CH47, 8-12 Medium SH, 8-10 AH...

Not a Boffin,
CHF will (probably) survive operating Tranche 1 FML, ISD 2015ish, to replace the SK4+ by 2017. So, initially, CVF in LPH role could well have SK4+ as part of a TAG. T1 FML has...
