The first of the DDS amphibious warfare LHDs, L101 Pangaea, is currently being modified ready for the next phase of it's testing and development. Pangaea will receive support for the Ferret-E UCV now in service with the DDS. Pangaea will be able to operate Ferrets operating in a support and reconnaissance role especially guarding the landing pods after they leave the Pangaea and head to the target planet's atmosphere.
Pangaea has no hangar facilities for Ferrets though so the UCVs will be hosted externally. Pangaea will also receive the full C3 suite to allow it to act as a command centre in major operations.
The LHA, due to supplement the LHD from next year, the Tethys Ocean class is also taking shape. It could be the first type to use the improved SUP-X backbone if the SUP-X specification and computer modeling can be completed in time.
