ATLANTIC OCEAN (May 21, 2015) An MV-22 Osprey assault support aircraft touches down on the flight deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1). Wasp, with VMFA-121 and VMFAT-501 embarked, is underway conducting the first phase of operational testing (OT-1) for the F-35B Lightning II aircraft, which will evaluate the full spectrum of F-35B measures of suitability and effectiveness in an at-sea environment. Data and lessons learned will lay the groundwork for F-35B deployments aboard U.S. Navy amphibious ships following the Marine Corps' F-35B initial operating capability (IOC) declaration in July 2015.
