LPH Options For Indian Navy

The two-cornered contest to supply the IN with four locally-built 25,000-tonne LPHs will be between Larsen & Toubro teamed with Spain’s Navantia, and Pipavav Defence & Offshore Engineering Ltd/Mazagon Docks Ltd teamed up with Fincantieri of Italy. The winning design will be required to be equipped with an integrated full-electric propulsion (IFEP) system.

Both! Janes confused LDP and FSS tenders and PSG is speculating as usual, since no LPH tender exist in the navy.
 
it was more of a general statement there, calm your ***.
LPH are expensive could add more money and get full sized aircraft carriers that do both

man you are upset today
Both are for different purposes..LPH used to carry heli & deploy troops..We already building another aircraft carrier....
 
Is there a particular difference between LPH and LHD?

An LHD has a well deck to support amhibious vessel and transport larger payloads and vehicles, an LPH doesn't necessarily need that, since the transporting troops and aircrafts is the priority. INS Viraat is basically an LPH too, just as Japans helicopter carrier, although they call it helicopter destroyer.

Whichever design the IN goes for- LPH/LHD, they will want a well deck sir.

Do we really need an LHD then?
I mean unlike the US we don't have a proper marine expeditionary force.
