		The Bay Class were designed by Swan Hunter Shipbuilding and Engineering and are based on the Enforcer LPD type, a tailored variant of the Netherlands Navy LPD HMS Rotterdam.
		Various procedures and computer systems have been put in place to make this chartering easier: the occasional auxiliary fleet, which in fact is the simple quasi-permanent registering and positioning of ships liable to be chartered by the armies for their strategic transport in times of crisis.

		You have the ability to land the RMs by air with the Ocean (with limited sea mobility in that platform too), by sea with the Albion (with limited airmobility in that platform too), and to keep them, and the rest of the group, supplied with the RFA.
		With the 2 Albions we have though, and another Invincible converted to a 2nd Ocean, we would have enough capital ships, RFAs and SSNs for 2 of these groups, and existing destroyers and frigates could fill in until the next generation of escorts are built.
		These ships would provide the bulk of the sealift but the original group mentioned at the top of this post would provide the all-important spearhead.
