History:

USS American (LHA-6) is the lead ship of the American-class amphibious assault ships in the U.S. Navy. She was launched in 2012 and commissioned in 2014, designed to support Marine Corps operations by deploying helicopters, tiltrotor aircraft, and short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) jets like the F-35B. Named in honor of previous ships bearing the name, American represents a modern evolution in amphibious warfare.

Unlike earlier classes, USS American (LHA-6) does not have a well deck for landing craft, allowing more space for aviation operations, maintenance facilities, and fuel storage. This makes her particularly suited for air-heavy missions, rapid troop deployment, and humanitarian assistance. She can embark over 1,600 Marines and a wide array of aircraft for various operations.

Homeported in Japanese, USS American (LHA-6) plays a key role in the Indo-Pacific region, enhancing forward presence and rapid response capabilities. She reflects the U.S. Navy’s shift toward more flexible, aviation-focused amphibious operations.
