Description

U.S. Navy America Class LHA-8 Amphibious Assault Ship Wood Model Ship
USS America (LHA-6), the fourth U.S. warship to be named for the colloquial moniker of the United States of America, is the first of the America-class amphibious assault ships for the U.S. Navy. She was delivered in spring of 2014,[12] replacing Peleliu of the Tarawa class. Her mission is to act as the flagship of an expeditionary strike group or amphibious ready group, carrying part of a Marine expeditionary unit into battle and putting them ashore with helicopters and V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft, supported by F-35B Lightning II aircraft and helicopter gunships.
The ship's design is based on USS Makin Island, but to allow more room for aviation facilities she does not have a well deck and has smaller medical spaces. With a displacement of 45,000 tons, she is as large as the aircraft carriers of many other nations and can fulfill similar missions when configured with 20 F-35B strike fighters.
