USS Wasp

The USS Wasp, carrying at least 10 F-35Bs, is participating in a joint military exercise with Australia and the Philippines.

In a first, U.S. F-35Bs dropped guided bombs on practice targets during a military exercise at sea in Asia this week.

The USSAmerica will be replacing the USS Wasp as the U.S. Navy’s largest forward-deployed amphibious assault ship in the region.

The decision to deny a port call was announced a day after the U.S. approved a possible arms package for Taiwan.

The U.S. Navy flattop trained with a Japanese warship for the first time since arriving in Japan earlier this year.

There won't be a carrier at this year's Foal Eagle exercise, but there will be an immensely well-equipped U.S. Navy Expeditionary Strike Group.

The U.S. is reportedly dispatching an amphibious assault ship to the Korean Peninsula for a joint-U.S.-ROK landing exercise early next month.

A detachment of F-35Bs arrived aboard a U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship cruising in the Indo-Pacific region this week.

The amphibious assault ship is replacing another forward deployed U.S. Navy flattop of the same class in the region.
