About the Wasp well deck lighting.......
I've been browsing various Google pics of the Wasp class amphib ship well deck. I'm guessing that white lighting is mostly for daytime operations, though maybe it can be used for at night if needed too.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ ... 9m-055.jpgDo the Wasp LHD ships ever use any red lighting? Or is it just mostly green/blue?
Now, I'm turning my Wasp into a hospital/humanitarian relief ship. So would it make any sense to use green/blue lighting or not?
And while we're on the subject of lighting, I do like how some models look with the green/blue lighting in the well decks. Kudos to people for pulling that effect off.
But........and I'm sorry to say this.......but I don't like the look of those small LED light strips.

I'm still working on plans right now, but give me about another 3 months and I'm going to try to make my lights look more realistic like what you see in this pic:
