USS Tarawa LHA-1

Flashback to 1997 and USS Tarawa LHA-1, you can see the 5in guns have been removed from either side of bow mount locations just below the flight deck. Note the RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile has been installed on the port side of the island just above the bridge. Good to see a flock of Phrogs aboard her. #rim116 #ch46 #phrog #phrogsforever #marineaviation #usstarawa #lha1 #aviationsafari #aviationpreservation #boneyardsafari #navycarriercentennial
