I get asked occasionally why no Sea Apache? The US Marine Corps is famous for 'not reinventing the wheel'....if a weapon system is applicable to Marine Corps use and works then its easier, simpler and more cost effective to procure that system.
Assuming of course that it meets Marine Corps doctrine.
The proposed Sea Apache unfortunately did not meet those requirements and was never pursued. Luckily Aviastar has a wonderful article on the concept and its worth a read.(all pics are from Aviastar)
