Romeos expense goes up as more mods are needed

The Australian (subscription) has this to report about another stellar Entrenched Defence Bureaucracy stuff up.

THE navy's new combat helicopters will not be able to routinely operate off its major warships with their full load of missiles and torpedoes for several years. Defence has confirmed that significant modifications will be needed to safely store the Hellfire missiles and submarine-killing torpedoes to be carried by the 24 Seahawk Romeo helicopters that will fly from the navy's three new Air Warfare Destroyers and its eight ANZAC frigates.
