If you read anything from the Navy League here in Australia you know that the F-35B on LHD's was a must-make for their fantasy Defence White Paper submission.
Now? That is rightly shot down in the next Defence White Paper.
Gone. Just too much deck and appliance work for the LHDs. Which given all the defects in the F-35 program, this is convenient.
We get helicopter carriers with lost deck space because of a stupid ski-jump for a fantasy that was never going to work. Had anyone in that club done ANY serious study of the F-35 program this could have been prevented.
The Entrenched Defence Bureaucracy scores another one.
Sad for the hobby-shop model builders. Now they are only left with their glue to help support any number of other stupid ideas.
