Besides the marine expeditionary unit, what are some other expeditionary units and what kind of forces do they embark. I’d love to here from anybody that actually served in one of these units but that might be a stretch.I love all things LPD and helicopter carrier.
What's this bit for? It looks like it'd make a sweett cocktail deck.
That's the designated shitting deck

Looks like it’s a space to mount CIWS
Where do you think the poop deck is?
Oh. I dint realize this was a ship of the Indian Navy.
What? It’s a French ship. The mistral class

the OP image is the USS Saipan
tarawa class
US navy vessel
looks nothing like mistral and anyone with genuine interest in the subject matter would not fuck this up
You keep getting baited and BTFO
your motivations don't matter
you don't matter
falsehoods do

jumping of the flight deck in case of fuel leck or enemy boarding party
how much longer before "they" false flag sink one of those US ships over there?
What? Point me to the thread about amphibious assault ships? This is specifically not a MEU thread because yes those have been discussed a lot recently. Do you think you’ll be ok with people discussing this topic or do you need a safe space
I was aboard LPD-25 USS Somerset 4 years ago for a few months as a Marine. We did fleet week in San Francisco. One of the best times of my life was aboard that ship.
Always wanted to do fleet week. I was on LPD 19 for a meu though. I agree it’s very comfy for a marine stationed on ship.
The best part was that we were part of the ACE but in reality essentially independent as the air traffic control detachment, it was 6 of us including our Lt so we never got pulled for ship tax and we were able to get this little section if the berthing all to ourselves.
That’s what’s up. I went 9 months and avoided ships tax the whole time. When we weren’t out training in various countries we worked out, did random classes and that’s about it. The rest of the time was reading books or watching movies. Chow was pretty good
Yeah before I went I downloaded like 4 tb of movies and shows onto a hard-drive and I brought my laptop with some speakers so we'd have like a movie night in our little area every night. The one problem I had was the chow though, it was fine but just not enough.
That’s the French mistral class. Its a pretty standard LHD type ship with a helicopter deck and a well deck
What kind of armor do they have on board? Please say jaguars and those funky MRAPS
I was crew on LHD-1 for two years. Always felt sorry for the Marines, but only because I knew Oki was a prison colony compared to other stations. It was their fault of course, but I knew plenty of good crayon connoisseurs.
Oki is paradise compares to 29 Palms, Yuma, Barstow.
Why doesn’t Germany seem to have any amphibious forces? By all accounts they are mogged by France, Italy, and the UK
It’s pretty much just the US in the amphib game
To add to that point large scale amphibious invasions aren’t really an option anymore.
PLAMC
Damn, that's really aesthetic.
Aus has an amphib expeditionary force that's gotten up and running in the past few years consisting of guys from 2RAR.
