What I like as a key feature for the Royal Navy, is the sensible selection of the "MH-60 to MV-75 Roadmap".
A fun modernization of the "Land Battleship" concept. Here it's an amphibious carrier resting on four air cushions, each inflated by nuclear-driven turbines. There's also got lasers for defence and EM catapult-launched drones. #art by 北陵重工的票票. https://t.co/dUbGmzzzLW
