The section on propulsion needs to be edited. The statement "the U. S. Navy’s first hybrid-drive warship..." does not follow standard marine engineering terminology e.g. CODAG, CODELAG etc.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.88.228.202 (talk) 18:07, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Crew size

[edit]

We should mention the crew size, and full complement with marines.

I see the whole group has around 4,500.  what about just this ship?

Carries 20 F-35s?

[edit]

I don't believe a Wasp class carries more than 10 F-35s and normally it's nearer 6. I might be wrong, but claiming 20 stretches credulity. 79.76.21.140 (talk) 12:15, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You should note that the Wasp class carries up to 20 F35s when configured for a "Sea Control" mission, (just as they can carry 22+ MV-22s for an "Assault" mission). While configured for standard deployment, they unusually carry 6 F35s (or AV8s). - wolf 12:42, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
