Het vervelende is dat ze net een verbouwing heeft gehad om met de F35B te kunnen opereren. Gezien de Amerikaanse USMC plannen (kleinere maar meer), vrees ik dat ze afgeschreven is en ook niet wordt vervangen door een vergelijkbaar schip.

Men heeft nog 2 Tarawa class schepen in reserve, daar zal men eerder gebruik van maken.

Denk dat herstel erg veel geld gaat kosten zou dit icm leeftijd schip haar damaged beyond economical repair maken?
