Ex-Gallery kit.

USS Wasp LHD-1 is the lead ship in a class of amphibious assault ships designed as a continuation and improvement upon the earlier LHA class. With a stronger and larger flight deck and improved design well deck, the Wasp class is even more efficent and versatile in offloading and supporting the US Marine Corps and their missions.

Wasp has the distinction of being the largest man-made object rolled across land when she was moved into drydock for launching. Launched in 1987 and commissioned in 1989, Wasp has had a busy career executing both miliary and humanitarian relief operations. From Operation Restore Hope off Somalia, to Operation Iraqi Freedom, Wasp has been and important part of modern US diplomacy and power projection.

Wasp was the first ship to go operational with the MV-22 Osprey, when VMM-263 (-ex HMM-263) deployed aboard in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2007
