[@garymiller5937]

I'm glad the US Navy provides recreational activities like the picnics and athletic games. Nothing is too good for our service members, and especially for those among a captive audience like deployed sailors at sea.

It could use a bar like the British ships.

Gotta love the gator Navy. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!

All you have to do to witness this in locations around the world is to join USN. You get free food, lodging but not much rest. LOL GO NAVY!

I was station on the USS Saipan LHA 2 for 2 years.Great duty, excellent adventure, a lot of hard work but at the end of the day freedom is worth it!

Amphibious vessels are miniature aircraft carriers, not so big as carriers; carriers are like one in a town of that size.

[@ak9989]

And Marines don't operate that SHIP!!! SAILORS DO! Marines are carried on board as assault troops! Dang get it right! I'm a 25 yr combat veteran, army, and even I know that because my dad was a ww2 marine and now my son is a Marine.

[@jgill1964]

Thank you for correcting. I served on LHA class, and yes, 1,200 sailors operate ship, and up to 2,000 Marines would deploy. The USMC contingent that was permanently serving onboard managed Combat Cargo

[@duartesimoes508]

@@jgill1964 now, the Marines could take the ship and call her theirs! It would be the first true USMC ship and make them indescribably proud! 😀

[@GaneshMushika]

Well you can just be able to read what is written on the uniform at 5:00. Yes, the ships are operated by Navy personnel.

[@rickdunn3883]

Sorry Marines don't operate the vessel(s). Sailors do. Marines are combat, security and air personnel (pilots and support). Officers don't cook-they eat. Cook rates 'CS' prepare the food.

[@user-zc7hb6nc9k]

I can't imagine how tough and difficult it would be to live and stay in the narrow metal containers. Huge respect to all the soldiers and crews

[@dbyers3897]

A minor point: There are no soldiers aboard an LHA. There are only Sailors & Marines. Soldiers belong to the Army.

[@TerryinLakeWorthTX]

Thank you!

[@ecrusch]

So cool. And, so proud of our military.

I've been to two Fleet Weeks in San Francisco, one on the USS Essex LHD-2 and the other on USS Momsen DDG-92. Interesting city (of course having attended Navy computer schools in Vallejo CA, about 50 miles north of San Francisco I'm familiar with the Bay Area.

Marines don't operate the Gators, squids run the ships.

1200 Sailors manned that ship, NOT 12 Marines

[@kevinhayes1656]

When I was in the United States, Marine Corps, the first Navy ship, I was on with the USS Bellwood, which was classified as an LHA 3 and it was an amphibious assault ship like a small aircraft carrier and it was so sturdy that whenever they decommissioned it, they used their photograph practice to sink it, but they couldn’t get it to sink lol they ended up having to sync it with explosives because it took several hits from military shells and airplane rackets and still wouldn’t sink

[@CallMeByMyMatingName]

Sorry to upset you into so many separate replies. I don't know where to go for grammar lessons as an adult. I learned in early elementary school. Maybe consider attending regularly. It may take some effort dealing with a memory like yours. Have faith! Children everywhere learn. So can you! Grammar is the difference between helping your friend, Jack, off a horse. And helping your friend jack off a horse. Implementing the good grammerz also helps in keeping us kids from teasing thems that be the less educateded. You got this!

A ship does not cross over a bridge. A ship passes UNDER a bridge.

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

The biggest problem with these ships is they stink of Jarhead and I don't think they will ever get that smell out.

This among so many other features is what distinguishes American Armed Forces from Russia's. On one side you have the utmost efficiency and perfection. From the ruzzian side they look like a mob from Gengis Khan that somehow still remains with us.

This cheaper carrier but have same capacity even more if it tow airport behind it then it can deploy thousand of fighter jrt instead of 30

[@tomasthomas8563]

Quit useing out of date video of aircraft onboard amphibious ships. Saw lots of Harrier video, Navy and Marines no longer use but not much of tilt-rotor vtol aircraft. How many pao fleet week videos did you view to get this semi accurate video. Recommend you use a highly accurate reference guide for research (Janes fighting ships and Janes worlds military aircraft.)

LHD-6 Bonhomme Richard burned up at dock in 2020. No longer in service.

[@tbolt2948]

Call them whatever you want. To me they're updated "Baby Flat Tops"

[@KennethStone]

LOL! Ya, IKR? Well, some of the first LHD's were converted WWII era Essex's...

[@kevinmurphy3464]

How in the hell do you screw up in regards to the fact that sailors deal with the ship and marines deal with training during WESTPACS.

[@KennethStone]

OK, couple things. The flight deck of an LHD doesn't have fixed wing planes, it has rotary wing (helicopter) and V/STOL craft like the F-35B. Second, the Marines don't "stear the ship", the Navy does. The jarheads are just hitching a ride 😉. And also, the cooks are not officers, they're almost all enlisted mess specialists.

[@williammendoza6062]

I might be wrong but is it not still a fixed wing

[@clementgoetke2385]

yes its a fixed wing@@williammendoza6062

[@AA-xo9uw]

"The flight deck of an LHD doesn't have fixed wing planes"(sic) Incorrect "V/STOL craft like the F-35B."(sic) F-35B is a STOVL fixed wing strike fighter. The AV-8B which has been serving aboard amphibs since 1985 is a V/STOL fixed wing light attack ground strike/fighter platform.
