Navy's Newest 'Big Deck' Amphibious Ship Leaves San Diego on 1st Deployment
Times of San Diego - Yesterday 9:52 AM


The USS Tripoli, the Navy’s newest “big deck” amphibious vessel, quietly departed San Diego this week on its first deployment, according to published reports.


The nonprofit U.S. Naval Institute service said the warship left Monday on an independent mission to the Western Pacific. A webcam image showed the ship passing Coronado

The 45,000-ton vessel arrived in San Diego just a month after the USS Bonhomme Richard, an older amphibious assault ship, was largely destroyed by a suspected arson fire at Naval Base San Diego.
