Looking at the America subclass. They are designed to carry 16 F-35s and a full compliment of 16 MV-22s.
That leaves the Ch-53s and the AH-1s.
53s easily shift to the LHDs and frankly the AH-1s are pretty much useless except to escort the 53s.
Not fast enough to keep up with the Ospreys and with long range strike being the in thing, to short ranged to have much ToS when they get to the objective.
Need a Osprey type gunship
