The USN is receiving a new class of Landing Helicopter Assault (LHA) ship. Called the America-class (LHA 6), the ships are based on the final ship of the Wasp-class LHDs, USS Makin Island, and include the same hybrid-electric propulsion system. But as the programme is moving ahead, further changes are being made to the design that departs from the original plan for the
class.
