The USS WASP (LHD-1) is the leading unit of the landing vessel with the same name. The WASP -class ships were created to replace the Tarawa -class ships, but in their construction, they used many experiences gained from their operations. The main task of WASP ships is to remove operations. For this purpose, helicopters, extraction barracks or flying vehicles, which can be landed and carried by this type of landing ships, full -equipped US maritime soldiers were adapted to carry. They can serve as a light aircraft carrier due to their size and are adapted to work with AV-8 Harrier II or F-35B Ligthning II aircraft. The pioneering ship of this class was built in the USS WASP (LHD-1) in Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula. He started the war in the Mediterranean Sea and operates in Somalia region in 1993 and then returned to this reservoir. In 2004-2012, the unit was employed at less intensity than sister ships. However, in 2004, he supported the actions of US troops in Afghanistan. In this period, it is worth adding that the prototypes of F-35B are tested on the unit. The unit still serves actively.
