Exactly. I have to imagine it’s loaded with fuel and ammo too.

Been speculating about it for a day.
Original thread
If the Navy knows what happened, they’re not talking.

The navy is the most shoddily run branch of the military. From lowest enlisted all the way to the Secretary of the Navy.

That is an Amphib not a carrier. It carries helos and VStol up top and has a well deck to launch below.

Could be. It looked like a carrier when I saw it. Could be the same ship though. I dunno

Nope, it just came out of dry dock from a retrofit.

Yea, thats yesterday.
To others, it was an amphib assault carrier. Sometimes referred to as “lightning carriers”

2 decks between fire & fuel
Priority is keeping heat source from fuel

They are saying they’re trying to keep the heat away from the fuel.

LHD - has a flat top, it's about the same tonnage as a WWII carrier. Ingalls in Pascagoula builds them.

the BHR is a Wasp class landing ship which has the capability to operate helicopters, V-22s, and F-35s...
