Yep it was! Lucikly I had it saved to my harddrive when it firs appeared. Really cool design.

I did some measurements BTW... The helo tram line of the DTM concept is large enough to accommodate the QTR, but the Keram OSTR is too large. To correct this the ship could be made larger, the islands smaller (narrower), or replaced to the right rear (as is the case with normal carriers / assault ships). Third option would be to have the Keram aircraft only using the rear flightdeck. But without a rolling take-off, this would severely limit the payload capability.

In my opinion, the center islands are a very distinctive feature of the design, and should be kept. Making them smaller is also not an option, because that would limit the room for sensors and weapons systems. So, the ship needs to get larger. I like that. An Amphibious Assault ship the size of a Nimitz class. Interesting! I'll see if I can work on a design for it tonight or tomorrow.
