Before the "warmed-over Makin Island" comments start about the Wasp (LHD-1), let me assure you all that I started from the Wasp hull and built from there. The Seahawks are my personal representation of the 2nd gen (-R&-S) Seahawks.

Very nice. Always good too see more gators on the bucket. Considering the Makin Island has completely different propulsion from the Wasp, I wouldn't say you're warming over an old drawing at all. The Makin is practically a sub-class of the Wasp-class, so it's appropriate to have both drawings on SB.

You may wish to put an Osprey or two on there, especially considering the CH-46 is quickly on its way to being retired by the Marine Corps.

LHD isn't supposed to be on there...just the number.

Apologies for the double post, but it does have "LHD" on the side, I have pictures.

The US Navy puts its hull classification letters on its LHAs and LHDs to avoid confusion between the Tarawa-class (LHAs 1-5), and the Wasp-class (LHDs 1-8), which would otherwise look very similar, especially in poor visibility conditions.

Thanks, I already have most of the pictures. I am only using pictures of LHDs 1-4, because Bataan was built to a modified design, and so different from the Wasp. As far as I can tell, the funnels and windows are spot-on, but if you see anything that I missed let me know. Thanks.
Gator
