I believe they plan for the JSS to be operational in 2010. And according to the info I have, they want the Big Honking Ship to be sailing in 5 years...geo said:Last I heard - 11 to 13 years from planning to delivery.....
Daniel H, about projecting power: what better way to project power then send a Naval task group consisting of an amphibious assault ship, escorting destroyer and/or frigate(s) and a submarine, carrying a Battalion-Group and attack and transport helicopters. This is what we are considering for the next few years.
Kirkhill, I'm glad they are talking about an amphibious assault ship. The tone is slowly changing: they used to talk about landing on secure beaches only, now they talk about unoccupied or lightly defended beaches. Big difference, and I believe we need to be able to carry out these tasks on our own.
