USS Tripoli in Hobart

[Marty_d]

Spotted what looked like a small aircraft carrier tied up at the wharf in Hobart.  Turns out it's the USS Tripoli, an amphibious assault ship, with a complement of F35's and Ospreys.

All the F35's were below deck but there was an Osprey sitting on top.

Didn't take any photos but this ABC news article has a few.

At the end of WWII America had 100 flat-tops of various types.

These days, as well as their 13 nuclear super carriers, they also have heaps of smaller carriers.

Japan also has a several.

Maybe we should declare war on the USA, and when we lose they will give us aircraft carriers and submarines and a car industry.
