transport marines, with helicopters and air-cushioned landing craft to trouble spots around the world.

Comes with anti ship missiles and cruise missiles.
You can also use anti air missiles with it.

That is a very impressive ship. Are you selling any or building any for navies other than your own?

how much?

how expensive are they? and how many Marines, LCACs, and Helos can they carry?

At this time, the ship is not being built for other nations as we may need to use it in time of war. And building for other nations at this time would end up compromising national security secrets.
Though we will be selling it in the future.

Right now they cost us 45 million each to build. We are attempting to bring the cost down but it is going to take time to do that.
250-500 marines, 25-50 helos depending on which version you purchase. I'll have to get the info on the LCAC's for you.

No, you're wrong. Those ships existed, but they were aged and beginning to fall apart cause I've had them so long.

Besides my budget for such things is here:

Now I think I know what you are talking about.
The ships had mobilized for the war in DT, when that didn't happen they were sent through the mediteranean through the Suez Canal, through the Red Sea into the Indian Ocean.

The troops came from Afghanistan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Lower Egypt, and Pakistan. But I thought I already explained this in the Magdha thread.
