USS Guam (LPH-9): A Symbol of Power and Mobility on the High Seas This photograph showcases the USS Guam (LPH-9), an Iwo Jima-class amphibious assault ship, gracefully navigating the open waters. Commissioned in 1972, this versatile vessel has been a cornerstone of the United States Navy's amphibious force for over five decades. The Iwo Jima-class amphibious assault ships, named after the famous World War II battle, are designed to support amphibious landing operations and provide a sea-based platform for helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft operations. The USS Guam is equipped with a flight deck capable of accommodating helicopters and short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) aircraft, making it an invaluable asset in various military missions. In this image, the ship's distinctive profile is accentuated by the backdrop of the clear blue sea and the vibrant orange and white helicopters that dot the flight deck. The planes, with their wings spread wide, evoke a sense of power and readiness, while the ship's massive size and intricate design speak to the engineering prowess and technological innovation that went into its creation. The USS Guam's ability to transport and deploy aircraft, as well as its capacity to support amphibious landings, makes it an essential component of the United States' military presence around the world. This photograph is a testament to the enduring strength and versatility of this remarkable vessel and the men and women who operate it.
