Welcome LPD-26 J.P Murtha - The USN's Latest Toy

[Penguin]

French navy uses SA321 Super Frelon, France's army uses Eurocopter Puma/Cougar/Caracal.

How's that for old shizzle ...?

A relatively simple LPD.

Relatively speaking (it is not an LHD, after all)

Because those are old pics. The Sea Knights were retired in replacement by the Osprey.

On 5 October 2014, the CH-46 Sea Knight performed its final service flight with the U.S. Marine Corps. The aircraft's first flight was performed over 50 years earlier and it entered service in 1966. With the CH-46's retirement from duty, the sole remaining operator of the helicopter is Marine Medium Helicopter Training Squadron 164, which will transition to the MV-22 by April 2015.



OLD is a relative term in this context:
