it really needs to operate from land bases.

Would it just be used for delivering people and small items to flatops
(full carriers and Ampihbs) or use the ships as lillypads to support
deep raids?

Which service will actually buy any? Could the Marines buy a few to
support the KC-130 mission? (It would make a dandy tanker for
helicopters and V-22s, but it needs a land base unless it's going to sit
on the flightdeck all the time.)

How about the Air Force, would they use it to bring in real land
vehicles for CV-22 raids? How about to support forward Army bases?

Note the pic on Global Security of it performing in a role similar to
an AC-130...Cool.
