OBTW, with JSF where will you get the 270 VDC? You sure can't get it
from deck edge or hangar SESS. It is estimated 4 million per carrier
for that MOD.

(The new Mobile Electric Power Plant (MEPP) has 270 VDC. This MEPP
also can supply Hawkeye H2K with enough power to be the single power
source.)

This new MEPP is being carrier OpEvaled right now. It probably will
pass OpEval.

But then how many will a carrier need for JSF and H2K? 30 of these at
least on each carrier? Has this been calculated into "deck multiple"?

Last time I checked, carriers didn't depend on MEPPs. That's what deck edge
power is for. I'm sure they can put a system on a carrier to provide 270 VDC
for less money than trying to outfit with MEPPs that will sit unused and take
up space most of the time.
