The landing ship "Uosp" will be the first mobile naval base F-35B

The USS Wasp naval assault ship will be the first combat unit equipped with the F-35B front-line fighter squadron. In August, a single-type ship, the USS Essex (LHD 2), welcomed the F-35B on board during the sea trials of the aircraft to receive a certificate for deck operation off the coast of Southern California, reports "Military parity" with reference to the portal navyrecognition.com

The landing ship "Uosp" will be the first mobile naval base F-35B

F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter on the deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2), 19 August 2017

Earlier this week, the USS Wasp (LHD 1) left the Norfolk Naval Station and headed for Sasebo Base (Japan), where it will take on the mission of the 7th flagship fleet USA by USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6).

Shortened takeoff / vertical landing capabilities allow F-35B aircraft to perform wider tasks at a range inaccessible from coastal airfields. This means that if the target is too far, the landing craft approaches it within the combat radius of the fighters.

F-35B Lightning II - one of the three modifications of the newest fighter-bomber F-35, created specifically for the US Marine Corps. A key feature of the F-35B is the short take-off and vertical landing capability, which allows these planes to be used on helicopter carriers and universal landing craft equipped with a flight deck.

            This is relevant until the moment that a serious shukher has begun .. By the way, the B version is 25 million more expensive than the A version ... while in terms of performance characteristics it is much inferior to the base version.

At the same time, the owners of the money were not interested in either the degree of readiness of the countries for war, or losses as a result of wars. They achieved their goals, and everyone else, fumigated by their propaganda on both sides of the fronts, was proud of their victories, longed for revenge and licked their wounds.

                You are missing a very significant point ... in the current realities, taught by bitter experience, now even the Papuans are trying to buy air defense systems ... and now, not even a global conflict, can very much reduce the number of military units in the US Air Force ... in the manner of Vietnam .

        This is all very informative ... but in addition to the fact that the B version is inferior to the base machine in almost everything, from the amount of fuel to such moments as refueling in the air ... I am interested in the answer to such a question as ..
        When the first F-35B landed on the deck of the UDC, it immediately became clear its next (already which account for?) Flaw. Unlike the deck F-35C, the “vertical” has no wing folding mechanism, which makes it difficult to base it on board ships. Partly, the solution to this problem is facilitated by the small size of the fighter, but, anyway, the wing span of the F-35B on the 1,5 meter exceeds the wing span of the Harrier II or Super Hornet in the folded position.

            The vertical does not have the option of folding the wings, which for deck versions is by and large very desirable, due to lack of space ...

        Yes, I just ... you won’t believe it. I’ll explain why ... firstly, this modification is 25 lyam more expensive than the base one, while the performance characteristics are about 25% worse than version A. Plus, due to the rotary nozzles and the large size of the engines, the stealth F-35V is much worse than the F- 35A. At the same time, he takes 2 tons less fuel, the radius, respectively, is also smaller, even refueling in the air does not occur through the rod (where the refueling speed is higher), but through the hose with a cone ... it can take a long time to list ...

          Of course, the F-35В is much worse than the F-35A, but in general it is the same modern and, in general, a good fighter. So from my bell tower we have that after switching to the F-35B, even an ordinary landing ship, of which 9, is comparable in its capabilities with Kuznetsov’s aviation.

          As for the deadlines, sooner or later they will bring it. In no case do I want to offend anyone, but looking at reality, I personally believe the declared terms of Russian gunsmiths much less.

              Hmm, that's right too. I suspect that there is only one meaning: the KMP fundamentally did not want to be left without their aircraft, and you won’t place normal decks on their ships. So yes, there is no real need.

                      The ILC is a Navy independent structure. And marines to the bulb, how many aircraft carriers the fleet has. In World War II, the KMP also had its own aviation, despite the presence of 15 naval heavy aircraft carriers and heaps of light / escort, which covered the landing on the islands.
                      UDC - not aircraft carriers, which follows from the abbreviation itself. Their concept was born just from the experience of landing operations of the war.
                      The purpose of the F-35B is operational aviation support for landing operations. It replaces the AV-8B, which is superior in all respects.

        The disappearance of the built-in 25-mm gun "Equalizer" did not pass without a trace. At present, the designers of Lockheed Martin offer a compromise in the form of a suspended cannon container. It will create additional resistance in flight, with all the ensuing consequences, and will also be a factor in the sharp increase in the ESR of the aircraft, compared with the base model. But, alas, no other solutions to this problem have been proposed.
        Interesting, right? ..
        Why is the F-35B a cannon armament if it is contraindicated in participation in maneuver battles? The available overload of the F-35B is only 7g (versus 7,5g for the deck modification and 9g for the ground-based fighter) - with such characteristics, the vertical plane will not be able to catch the tail of most modern fighters. Even a slightly lower wing load and greater thrust-weight ratio, in view of the lower take-off mass of the VTOL aircraft themselves, are not able to correct the situation - the F-35B is categorically unable to conduct close air combat.

        And this begs the question ... why is this miracle necessary? Marine Corps support? So attack helicopters, which are much cheaper, can handle this.

      and the meaning of the F-35B is rather foggy, on the one hand the BDKs get the opportunity to inflict no worse than an aircraft carrier, on the other, the BDK doesn’t go to combat alone, even against the Papuans, in short it’s not clear what kind of doctrine they have if instead of shock turntables to support the landing strike fighters are put on the BDK - a strange moment.
