    The USS Tripoli (LHA-7), an American-class amphibious assault ship, returns to port at Naval Air Station North Island, California, April 7, 2022. The Tripoli supported the operation of 20 F-35B Lightning II jets from Marine Fighter Attack Squadrons 211 and 225, Marine Aircraft Group 13, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, as well as Marine Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron 1, as part of the U.S. Marine Corps’ Lightning Carrier Concept demonstration. The lightning carrier concept demonstration shows Tripoli and other amphibious assault ships are capable of operating as dedicated fixed-wing platforms when needed, bringing fifth generation short takeoff/vertical landing aircraft wherever they are required.
