Amphibious Assault Ship?
Looks like an Aircraft Carrier to me.
Why the fancy name?
To: RomanSoldier19
It is likely only one element of an amphibious task force, and of course, a package of reinforcements of various other ships and planes, and likely other amphibious task forces. You wouldn’t sent an assault ship into potential harm, without having the ability to prevail, or at the minimum, to extricate your guys. This is likely the tip of the iceberg that is poised to counter Chinese aggressions.

The CCP sure was ready to take advantage of the accidental release of their biological weapon.
I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.

I think the Iwo Jima is the same class of ships. There should have been one off shore of Libya during Bengazi. But B.O.hates our military.

Steaming.
Bears closer scrutiny.

I can remember when the only concerns for steaming through the South China Sea were those enforced by the two carriers on Yankee Station. There the International Rules of the Road did not apply. As far as the admiral was concerned his ships did whatever they wanted to whenever they wanted to, and you stayed the hell out of the way. On all but one occasion our LST (Westchester County) went around. On that occasion we had just left an Amphibious Ready Group lead by the Iwo Jima
Before I came onboard (1970) there was a destroyer squadron homeported in Taipei. When is closed every ship traveling to and from Vietnam went through the Taiwan Straits.

That’s the ship that took over after my ship was retired. USS Peleliu.
No well deck?!
THOSE were fun times.
Parking four landing craft and an LCAC will make for some scary memories, but good ones, too.
