Hey Sarge,
The IWO JIMA you flew off of was the LPH-2 Amphibious Assault Ship (Helicopter). That ship was almost 35 years old when it was decommissioned in July of 1993.
The current IWO JIMA is the LHD-7 Amphibious Assault Ship (Multi-Purpose) and was commissioned in June of 2001.

Just a little info from an old sailor still working for the DoN.
