USS Khe Sanh - LHD

The USS Khe Sanh serves as the lead ship of the 27th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) deployed to the Green Sea region. Wasp-class ships like the Khe Sanh provide the U.S. Navy with an unrivalled ability to attack hostile shores around the world. It is capable of hosting almost the entirety of the MEU's air elements, ranging from its rotary and fixed-wing aviation assets in the form of AH-1Z, MH-60S, and UH-1Y attack/utility helicopters, MV-22 Osprey transports, AV-8B attack jets, as well as F-35 stealth fighters. Along with aircraft, ground assets also include the MEU's M1A1/M1A2 series of main battle tanks, LAV-25 light armoured vehicles and AAVP-7A1 amphibious assault vehicles.
