I can remember one chap complaining that the flat deck was never moving in previous DTs. There is one pic showing the F-35B manned, engine running and chained with a seven degree roll. But anyway....
F-35B Completes DT-III on USS America 27 Nov 2016 Todd Miller
"...Onboard maintenance activities involved the entire replacement of an engine, driveshaft and lift fan on one of the VMX-1 aircraft. After replacement, the VMX-1 aircraft was flown off the deck.
USMC VMX-1 Commanding Officer, Col. George “Sack” Rowell, noted that the F-35B will equal or exceed the shipborne operational capabilities of the AV-8B Harrier in high sea states. Flight operations took place in winds of up to 47 knots from various angles, a deck roll of 5° and deck pitch of 3°. Maintenance work was accomplished (albeit with challenges) while the ship was rolling 9°!..."
