Here is a model of LHA 8 with some statistics. With the reintroduction of the well deck this ship carries less than half the av gas as the LHA 6 and 7. A small sponson is added for additional parking and ordinance handling.
The ship just needs to get bigger now that Panama Canal restrictions are no longer limitations. Bigger for an LHA 6 amount of av-gas and and port side sponson for additional flight ops space. So that rotary aircraft could operate simultaneously as fixed aircraft.
