The Wasp class is a
class of landing helicopter dock (LHD) amphibious
assault ships. It is based on the Tarawa class, with
modifications to operate more advanced aircraft and
landing craft. The Wasp class is capable of
transporting almost the full strength of a United
States Marine Corps Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU),
and landing them in hostile territory via landing
craft or helicopters as well as providing air
support via AV-8B Harrier II attack aircraft or
F-35B Lightning II stealth strike-fighters. The lead
ship, USS Wasp, was commissioned on 29 July 1989.
Eight Wasp-class ships were built, and as of June
2018, all eight are in active service.
USS
Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) was commissioned in 1998 as the
sixth ship of the Wasp class. She was named in honor of
John Paul Jones' famous frigate, which he had named in
French "Good Man Richard", in honor of Benjamin
Franklin, the U.S. Ambassador to France at the time.
Bonhomme
Richard was the flagship for Expeditionary Strike Group
Three. The primary mission of Bonhomme Richard is to
embark, deploy and land elements of a Marine landing
force in amphibious assault operations by helicopter,
landing craft and amphibious vehicle, and if needed, to
act as a light aircraft carrier.
