LHA6 and LHA7 Tripoli are both American-class amphibious assault ships, also known as lightning aircraft carriers. Just when the Tripoli, which is a lightning aircraft carrier, left the nearest of the first island chain, the US Navy's amphibious assault ship, was dispatched. According to the ship's AIS signal data, the US Navy's LHD8 Makin Island amphibious assault ship had left the fast San Diego military port on November 9 and began to rush to the Asia-Pacific region to perform combat deployment missions. The LHD8 Makin Island is used to replace the deployment of the LHA7 Tripoli amphibious assault ship in the Asia-Pacific region. According to the news released by the United States, the Makin Island carries the F-35B Lightning II fighter.

LHD8 The Amphibious Assault Ship of Makin Island is equipped with 10 F-35B fighter as a fifth-generation fighter, as well as the rotor squadron and the ground 13 expeditionary force. This is different from the combat cruise of the LHA7 Tripoli amphibious assault ship. The LHA7 Tripoli amphibious assault ship was an empty ship when it arrived in the Asia-Pacific region. After arriving in Japan, the personnel and equipment of the US Marine Corps went to the amphibious assault ship to perform missions. When the US Navy's LHA7 amphibious assault ship Tripoli was in the Asia-Pacific region, the LHA6 American amphibious assault ship with Japan Sasebo as its home port began to "make a spoiler" and did not perform a decent combat cruise mission in 2022.

LHD8 The Amphibious Assault Ship is equipped with 10 F-35B Lightning II fighter jets. The F-35B is a fifth-generation fighter with short-range/vertical take-off and landing capabilities. In addition to the United States, it has been purchased by many countries, including Japan. Generally speaking, the US Navy amphibious assault ship will carry 6 AV-8B or F-35B when performing combat cruises. However, the LHD8 Makin Island amphibious assault ship, which started on November 9, carries 10 fifth-generation fighters, which is very strange. Now, the deployment of the US Navy amphibious assault ship in the Asia-Pacific region has directly carried fifth-generation fighters, thus trying to establish a deterrence against the People's Liberation Army.

Aviation Vision Analysis believes that the US Navy's LHD8 amphibious assault ship, carrying fifth-generation fighter jets, deployed in the Asia-Pacific region, is to fill the gap caused by the maintenance of the CVN76 Reagan aircraft carrier and the LHA6 American amphibious assault ship. The LHA6 American began intermittent combat cruise since January, and the CVN76 Reagan aircraft carrier was deployed in May, so it will inevitably begin to enter the routine maintenance stage in December, and the LHA6 American amphibious assault ship is the same. In fact, the PLA has the ability to counter the deployment of the LHD8 Makin Island amphibious assault ship in the Asia-Pacific region, because the Dongfeng missile is not vegetarian, which can deter the US Navy.
