Would anyone be interested in making an Amphibious Assault Helicopter Carrier of the USS Wasp (LHD-1) class? These ships carry 2200 Marines into conflicts using Helicopters and LCAC's (Landing Craft, Air Cushion) which launch from their Well Deck. Besides numerous Helicopters, these ships also carry AV-8 Harriers.

If someone is interested, I have a 3DS model of this class of ship, but it has not been texture mapped (yet). I also have satellite photos of 7 of the 8 ships of this class. I have found a picture of the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) firing a Sea Sparrow missile (which is used against aircraft and anti-ship missiles).

The ships of this class are:
LHD-1 : USS Wasp
LHD-2 : USS Essex
LHD-3 : USS Kearsarge
LHD-4 : USS Boxer
LHD-5 : USS Bataan
LHD-6 : USS Bonhomme Richard
LHD-7 : USS Iwo Jima
LHD-8 : USS Makin Island

All are currently in service.
