The one that is currently striking my fancy is the large "1" registration mark on the island. I've seen lots of CNVs in pictures with the outlines of their registration numbers lit, and was wondering if anyone can tell me if the Wasp is the same way?
I somehow got unsubscribed to notifications (probably just missed one when busy) and am way late on this. Short answer is yes, all of them have this feature:

was trying to look at the picture links at start of topic but get the message 'server not found'.......
The Navy changed the server software they use for their image galleries a couple of years back and took the old servers off line, which broke the links. Unfortunately there's no easy way to translate them so updating would take a lot of work. All is not lost, however. If a subject sounds of interest you can click on the link and copy the name portion of the address (i.e. "051015-N-1189B-053.JPG") and do a search for it:
https://www.google.com/search?site=webh ... hgqIsiA9z8You will find copies rehosted elsewhere or the link to the new servers if the Navy is still hosting the image. They will go and purge "old" images after a period so it's worth saving those you find of use.
I have an extensive library of saved images for the Wasp LHDs (current count is around 2,800 images from various Navy sources) and can help out if anyone has need.
