Zitat:Designed to self-deploy over 900 miles without refueling, with four external ferry tanks, the WAH-64 also has folding blades to facilitate operations from the Royal Navy's new helicopter carrier, HMS Ocean. Sixty-seven Westland Apaches were purchased: 48 for "front line" use, 9 kept as reserves/floats, 8 used for training, and 2 for testing. It is planned, that, after 2004, one of the WAH-64 squadrons will also be earmarked to support amphibious deployments of the 3d Commando Brigade.http://www.specialoperations.com/Foreign...efault.htm
Also keine spezielle Version,sondern in der Theorie sind alle WAH Apache 64 fähig von der HMS OCEAN zu fliegen.
Zitat:Helicopters: Hanger and flight deck facilities for up to 18 helicopters, typically a mix of 12 RN operated Westland Commando Sea King HC.4 plus 6 Royal Marine operated Gazelle AH.1 or Westland Lynx AH.7, or (from 2003) 6 Army operated Apache WAH-64D.http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Bunker/9452/ocean.htm
