USNS Miguel Kieth is an Expeditionary Mobile Base, derived from an Alaska class oil tanker. These ships support special forces missions, counter-piracy/smuggling operations, maritime security operations, and mine clearance, as well as humanitarian aid and disaster relief missions. Any helicopter in the USN/USMC inventory can use the flight deck, and the MV-22 Osprey is also going to undergo a suitability evaluation as well.
The flight deck is designed with 2 operating landing spots, parking space for 2 more aircraft, and hangar space for an additional 2.
USNS Miguel Keith is named in honor of Lance Corporal Miguel Keith, United States Marine Corps. The ship's namesake received the Medal of Honor posthumously for combat action during the Vietnam War in 1970.
Happy to go Black & White here so folks can focus on the shapes and not the lack of color. These are two mighty aircraft flying in a very special Heritage Flight Museum (HeritageFlight.org) fly day.
See this special HFM fly day was about telling the story of Boxer 22, the Vietnam War rescue attempt of two USAF F-4 Phantom aircrew. The son of the MIA Phantom pilot USAF Lt. Ben Danielson - USN Cmdr Brian "Steamer" Danielson - became a legend in his own right in the NAS Whidbey Island VAQ Wing now flying EA-18G Growlers also.
The Douglas A-1 Skyraider not just flew "Sandy" rescue missions in the Vietnam War, but variants also worked in Airborne Electronic Attack. This Skyraider is safely in the loving care of Heritage Flight Museum.
Finally, I have a Fly Day album of my photos up at flic.kr/s/aHsmF7yPS8 folks. Thanks and plz enjoy my photography responsibly!
