In the late 80's I was an embarked Marine on the Tripoli, New Orleans and Okinawa. The vibration at faster than 20 knots was no joke. It felt like the ships were going to shake themselves apart.
I was assigned to ship's company on the USS Inchon (LPH-12) from April 1987 through January of 1990. The Inchon was the last ship of the Iwo Jima class, and differed from the others in that it had boat davits for LCVPs on the port and starboard sides near the stern. The pic for the video is of the Inchon. Note that ship's company was closer to 600 than 902.
I was on a CarQual on LPH-9 USS Guam in OCT 1977 out of San Diego. We had AV8As doing vertical landings, touch-and-goes, and rolling take-offs. The deck crew from 513 was debarked via CH-46 Helo to NAS North Island. From there we got on a C-117 Gooney Bird back to MCAS Yuma AZ.
French made LHAs are some of the best expeditionary support vessels of modern times . . . namely the Mistral class 28,635 ton (33,240 ton loaded) non-amphibious (STOL) multi mission LHA powered by iFuelCell® e-HYBRId™ M-HEP system . . capable of operating fixed-wing fighter jets from it's fully straight & flat flight deck . . . for e.g. the navalized carrier borne F-35B Lightning II (Block III) VTOL stealth all weather interceptor or the carrier borne AV-8B Sea Harrier Plus II VTOL multi role strike fighter . . .
The Iwa Jima-class LPH though small change the way the USN operate before transitioning to larger Amphibious assault ship classes like the Tarawa-class, Wasp-class and America-class. Hope the Philippine Navy will consider acquiring its own Landing Platoform Helicopter (LPH) maybe base on the ROKN Dokdo-class LPH.
I had nightmares from my time aboard the USS Guam for years. The heads were always full of shit and piss. The bottom sill of the bathrooms entrance doors held in a pool of piss and shit 3" inches deep. The Guam's maintenance techs never got the ships plumbing sorted out the entire time I was on that boat.
Yooooooo I don’t know what kinda apparatus You have for finding information But could You please analyze the T-32E1 American Tank Or atleast the T-32 Ain’t nobody except War Thunder seem’s to remember Her
You forgot to mention that Tripoli, New Orleans, and Inchon, equipped with CH-53 mine sweeping helicopters, helped remove the mines in Haiphong, North Vietnam at the close of the Vietnam war. Look up Operation End Sweep for more info.
I don't like using them as a source of information, but Wikipedia disagrees with you; check out what it says. There may be differences on what "LP" designates, but the "H" definitely refers to it's use of helicopters.

Did you feel sick?
Was deployed aboard USS Okinawa early Jan. 68 as part of Battalion Landing Team 2/26.

Random AF but I made a fictional ship badge on the successor to the USS Inchon as a passion project
Another Excellent Video - "Semper-Fi"

Iwo Jima was decommissioned in July 1993. I served onboard her last few years.
USS Okinawa. West-Pac '85. BLT 1/9 USMC. Good times.
My father was on board the USS Tripoli LHP 10 in late 70s when I was a kid.
*I always think about what I will say and feel it's not enough. Love all of you service men. Its. still not enough*❤❤❤❤
Hello Weapons detective . Please make a video on OT-64 SKOT APC as well
We added the OT-64 to our list. We will make a video as soon as possible.
Flight decks were always filled to the brim with aircraft. Very impressive for a small aircraft carrier
If you think that’s impressive, just go look at the theoretical max airwings that the admiralty was cooking up during WW2
My favourite. Thanks for the video.
Though it was bigger. Compared to the successors it's tiny.
It’s Adorable size
THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!!! 😂😂😂

Rumor has it the first flag they rose on this ship was from a destroyer

USS Okinawa LPH-3... Battalion Landing Team 2/3.....WESPAC 1981
Kaneohe was sweet. 77-80, Pakalolo Marines
The Tarawa Class defined the Amphibious Assault Ship and the variations that followed.
I was aboard USS Tarawa LHA 1, Mar - Sept 1979 Her 1st WestPac BLT 2/3, HMM-262 and LSU-Hotel Supply Det. Maintenance Float

Your tag line is incorrect. LPH in the US Navy does NOT mean Landing Platform Helicopter. Never did. LPH means Amphibious Assault Ship, period.

There may be differences on what "LP" designates, but the "H" definitely refers to it's use of helicopters.
Since I served aboard USS Iwo Jima ( LPH-2 ) for four years, I have first hand knowledge.
