A little something for modern USN and USMC fans!
The USS Bonhomme Richard is a Wasp class amphibious assault ship. These ships are part of the LHD (Landing Helicopter Dock) family of amphibious assault ships. They are essentially a hybrid of an aircraft carrier and an LPD (Landing Platform Dock), and offer incredible flexibility and support to USMC operations.

There is A LOT of information floating around the web on the USS Bonhomme Richard, so there should be plenty of research material readily available for anyone who wishes to build this awesome hybrid ship. Here are a few sources to wet your appetite:

-A brief overview of her operational history up to the current date.
-General ship specifications and excellent photo cache.
-Short video of flight deck operations.
-Facebook page.
