Sur cette photo du porte-hélicoptères d'assaut amphibie USS Essex (LHD-2) on peu voir rangé le pont :

- 10 avions de transport à décollage/atterrissage vertical MV-22 Osprey
- 6 chasseurs multi-rôles à décollage/atterrissage vertical F35B
- 4 hélicoptères lourds CH-53 Sea Stallion
- 1 hélicoptère multi-missions SH-60 Seahawk

+ un autre SH-60 Seahawk qui prend la photo. Vraiment impressionnant
