New article looking at proposed landing craft etc.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.navylookout.com/future-littoral-strike-enablers-being-developed-for-the-royal-navy/[/URL]At first glance, the [Littoral Operations Ship] has the appearance of a typical LPD but incorporates much greater flexibility and is able to change roles more quickly than legacy amphibious platforms. This is primarily achieved through spaces that can easily be reconfigured to accept different equipment. This could include command facilities, medical space or additional storage for PODS/containerised payloads.The [Littoral Strike Craft] is an LCVP replacement but is not seen as a ‘landing craft’ but a multirole vessel. With a length of up to 20m and between 30-50 tonnes displacement it can transport troops and/or vehicles and act as a weapons or ISR platform. It is designed from the outset to have the option to be used without a crew for some missions but more likely to be lean-crewed, frequently operating in pairs for mutual support.
