RE the Bonhomme Richard mention-
I always thought that was enemy action, and that was a serious asset to lose. These were to have a light wing of F-35’s added to them too IIRC...
From it’s Wik page...
“Like the previous five Wasp-class ships, Bonhomme Richard is designed to embark, deploy and land elements of a Marine landing force in amphibious assault operations by helicopter, landing craft and amphibious vehicle, and if needed, to act as a light aircraft carrier.”
