yep.
San Antonio Class amphibious transport dock.
Aircraft: Four CH-46 Sea Knight helicopters or two MV-22 Osprey tilt rotor aircraft may be launched or recovered simultaneously. The ship’s hangar can store 1-2 aircraft.
Our nephew is on an MV-22 crew and he’s been qualified to do almost every job on with the most recent qualification being his wings. I messaged him telling him I hope none of his friends were among the 100-150 sent to secure the embassy and that we were glad he was back in the US and safe. No response, which is very unlike him so I’m thinking he may have been pulled into this.
I feel for those people in the embassy, but especially those contractors that were surrounded. I hope they can get everyone out.
