Default USS Wasp

https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ki86x1WKPmE

This video link is fresh (for the public).

It was made just 6 weeks ago in the Atlantic, just off Newport News ( Hampton Roads), Virginia ..



These are the latest sea trials of the F-35B on the USS Wasp.

They were very successful, with 74 VL's & STO's in a 3 week period.

The media and the program critics had predicted that we would burn holes in the deck and wash sailors overboard.

Neither of which happened. You will notice a sailor standing on the bow of the ship as the jet rotates.

That was an intentional part of the sea trials.

No catapult.... No hook... It's a new world out there!



The shape and scope of warfare - worldwide - just changed.
