The last big deck amphib I was on that didn’t have a well deck was USS New Orleans, now razorblades.

I was on LPH-11 also in the late 70's as a flight deck Grape. Still remember the dry balogna sandwiches during O-dark-thirty flight ops while others were getting mid-rats from the mess deck below. I would do it all over again if my same Navy.
