I had no idea that ship was a carrier. Wow.

I had no idea that ship was a carrier.

The conversion was to make it even more of one. They were going to take out the well deck used by the landing craft, and expand the hanger deck (and modifying the flight deck) to accomodate F-35s that are replacing the Harriers.

It’s a light carrier, not a big fleet Nimitz class carrier.

Wasp-class amphibious assault ship. Not a real carrier as we think of them but housed and deployed aircraft.
