What makes you think such large dirigibles do not already fly missions for the military? ... albeit very large triangular shaped. Decades ago such craft were in planning as flight decks for helo squdads, although the lifting gasses were not heated with LENR technology.

I haven't seen any info one way or the other. I know there are blimps in use, but any use of dirigibles must be "black ops" related.
But the military does a lot of things that aren't economically feasible for the private sector. A dirigible powered and "lifted" by LENR seems to me to offer unique advantages for economy, longevity, safety, and versatility in an aeronautical platform, and opens up whole new vistas in air transportation.
