Combined Task Force 150’s (CTF-150) flagship, French Ship (FS) Var, in the Indian Ocean with Her Majesty’s Ship (HMS) Richmond. Commander CTF150 Captain (Capt) Crignola flew to HMS Richmand and met with the Commanding officer, Commander (Cdr) Anderson onboard the British ship. Afterwards, FS Var conducted replenishment at sea with Richmond under a rough sea and rainy weather. During the sensitive manoeuvres, which require a high degree of interoperability between both navies, fuel was efficiently and successfully transferred to HMS Richmond.

On May 18th 2015 the FN Mistral class Dixmude (L9015) visited U.S. Fleet Activities Sasebo. She is moored in front of USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) which is homeported in Sasebo.

It is hard to tell from that angle, but the Bonhomme Richard is about 180 feet longer than the Dixmude. This accounts for its much lager displacement.
Wasp Class:
831 feet long
105 feet beam
40,500 tons
Mistral Class:
