USS America LHA-6 en route to Pearl Harbor and RIMPAC

No LCAC/LCU/LCM, Wasp : 3 or 2 or 6
Troops : 1700 vs 1900
Aicrafts :
Wasp : in general 24 helos + 6 AV-8B or 20 AV-8B + 6 helos
America : in general : 25 helos + 6 F-35B or 20 F-35B + 2 MH-60
F-35 more big take more space as AV-8B.
Very close for size, same armament.

Just thought I'd share this little pic with you all, the first British F-35B to reach the UK along with a USMC Lightning II overfly HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales (not visible from this angle) for the first time! 'Big Liz' is in the final stages of fitting out prior to commencing sea trials in about six months time.13558976_1151524408222638_1823918916721008895_o.jpg
