If this bargain Hen chap is thinking of getting this sort of JMMS, he must be going nuts to waste so much tax payers $$$.
He should be thinking of better make use of those defense budget in making the life of NS men safer and better by equipping
them with more advance training, sophisticated weapons and safety gadgets.

"A larger JMMS would be able to carry more helicopters or have more helicopters operating. When we responded to Typhoon Haiyan...basically, the typhoon was so devastating that comms and communication were knocked out. There was no centralised ability for command and control of the airspace. In that context, a ship like the JMMS would have been very useful," he said.
In times of typhoon and foul weather, all sorts of comms equipment will be affected and most of them may even rendered handicap.
What makes him really think this sort of comms system onboard the JMMS is exceptional that can overcome mother nature?
