At LM, we did look at deck layouts for larger air wings, but as far as I know (and I could very well be wrong) embarking 20 F-35s on an LHD would not be a normal event.
Since we're quoting the Spanish Navy for their F-35B numbers; let's do the same for the USN/USMC for the 'Sea Control" mission.....

Aircraft (Sea Control):

- 22 F-35B JSF
- 04 MH-60 SeaHawk
- 04 Other helo/vtol
