The Tide Class LHA is a class of 3 Helicopter Carriers in the Royal Karsvetian Navy, built in the late 1980s. Originally intended to operate Harrier VTOL aircraft, it plays the role of operation helicopters with the purpose of amphibious assault when the procurement of aircraft was cancelled. The Tide class retains its original intended ski ramp, with its self defence armament of Phalanx ciws and Mk38 remote weapon systems. It is also able to launch up to 6 light utility craft. The Tide class LHAs in service have since been modified in the late 2010s to be able to operate Royal Karsvetian Air Force JTF-35 VTOL fighters with the ability for recovery. ------------------------------- Cost for export(if eligible): $680M USD Procurement lore: 1990s to mid 2000s
