Upgraded Seahawks are usuable but we don't have enough for Adelaides, Anzacs and training. Best bet would be to cadge a few from the USN. Second, and better longer term bet is to order soonest NH-90s to go with the order for 46 MRH-90s ( is MRH-90 the correct designation? ).
IMVHO the F-18E/Fs will remain as they are pretty good aircraft, though without the range and speed to be a true F-111 replacement. F15Es would have been a better buy.
