    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 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.

    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.

      Random AF but I made a fictional ship badge on the successor to the USS Inchon as a passion project

    This video also points out the concept of the "sea control ship" proposed by Admiral Zumwalt. It matches perfectly with the current world situation and is being actively adopted by navies of various countries. This is playing a major role in the multi-mission "LPH" and "LPA" of modern navies.
    このビデオ内でも指摘されている。ズムウォルト提督提唱「制海艦」構想。現代の世界情勢に見事にマッチしており各国海軍が積極的に採用している。このことが現代海軍における「LPH」「LPA」等マルチミッションに大活躍している。

    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

    Though it was bigger. Compared to the successors it's tiny.

    My father was on board the USS Tripoli LHP 10 in late 70s when I was a kid.

    Iwo Jima was decommissioned in July 1993. I served onboard her last few years.

    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 . . .

    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.

    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.
