Some designs submitted.

For more info on future naval projects you can check this thread out.

These appear to be helicopter carriers or Assault ships like the American wasp class... Can they handle the JSF?

There is not a plan to put aircraft on these but if we were to go for a LHD(first design) route then we certainly could. Since those can be modified to carry VTOL aircraft.

The current requirement is as follows

* 4 (four) Landing Craft Mechanics (LCM),
* 27 (twenty seven) Amphibious Assault Vehicles (AAV),
* 2 (two) Landing Craft Personnel Vehicles (LCVP)
* 1 (one) Commander Boat
* 1 (one) RHIB (Rubber Hull Inflated Boat)

F-4 2020 terminators will stay around a little longer. We operate 5-6 squadrons currently. 2 Terminator squadrons (54 aircraft total for attack/deepstrike) Two regular F-4E interceptor squadrons(around 70) and 1-2 RF-4 squadrons (not sure the exact number) The F-4 Terminators are highly upgraded with 4th gen avionics/weapons systems so they can stay a little longer. Most likely when the F-35s start to come in the F-4s will begin to retire out. So starting 2015-2020.

Btw the above is a older picture. We no longer run that color scheme but the more modern Grey one. We also had couple hundred F-4s back then most have been retired now.
