Can anyone help identify this ship? I live in Hong Kong and we get aircraft carriers and battleships from various countries coming in pretty often. It looks American but I'm not sure

Wasp-class to looks like. The fact that it seems to have Osprey V-22's means that it must be American.
>>31495685
That's the Bonhomme Richard. It's a Wasp-class LHD.

LHD-6 Bonhomme Richard.
I think it's a famas class famas from the famas fleet.

Sweet thanks, thats awesome the American ships are super chill, they give tours of their ships sometimes, i went aboard the KittyHawk a few years ago

epic meme bro. Using famas really makes for epic laffs.

I'm kinda confused as to how a US navy ship could sail that close to China without starting a war.
>>31495947
US ships make port in Hong Kong and Shanghai all the time. And Chinese ships have visited several US ports before, though not nearly as frequently.

I remember you chinks visiting the ship. You always have some obvious PLA shill come on board and try to take pictures of everything. They would even take pictures of the chalk and chains that hold down the aircraft.
Damn thats my old command! Good to know theyre around Hong Kong again

No one has ever found that meme to be funny - ever. You should reevaluate your life.

go to an airshow and look how so many asian enthusiast take pictures halfway up the air intakes.

It sucks that the biggest PLAN ships are only Type 056s.

Im canadian you dick, i just work here, but yea there is always a chink that is taking photos of everything down to the bolt. I saw one guy get escorted off and his camera confiscated
>>31495947
They're here maybe once every 3 months, come on land to get shitfaced and fuck filipino whores

I thought BHR was based in Little Creek, what are they doing in HK?
LHD/LHAs are fucking cute.
How do they usually operate? Do they have their own miniature carrier groups?
They seem really cozy
>>31497756
Wrong.
>>31497848
Yes. Flat bottom makes them not very cozy.

>Flat bottom makes them not very cozy.
Thats a shame. I really like the general impression they project. Seems very dignified, just hanging out in obscurity with out much public notice when they are essentially fleet carriers.
