I see they have the Ospreys double parked on the flight deck. Never saw a picture of these in deployment before.

You should see how they fold up to store in the same space as a CH-46 here.

"Our enemies may be irrational, even outright insane, driven by nationalism, religion, ethnicity or ideology. They do not fear the United States for its diplomatic skills or the number of automobiles and software programs it produces. They respect only the firepower of our tanks, planes and helicopter gunships."

Just one round in either one of those engines and it’s all over.

Bad choice for a tactical aircraft.....(Osprey)

Two Ospreys and an SH-60. That's a VERY bare deck park for a LHA/LHD heading off on a deployment. Makes me wonder what they have squeezed in down in the hangar (maybe she's deploying in the Harrier Carrier role?)
