USS Makin Island crest

The Makin Island is the most advanced Wasp-class ship ever built, commissioned in 2009 with a revolutionary hybrid electric drive system that dramatically reduces fuel consumption. Named for the 1942 Makin Island Raid led by Marine Raiders, she carries on a tradition of bold amphibious action into the 21st century. Her fuel efficiency gives her far greater range and endurance than conventional LHDs, making her a first-choice platform for extended Pacific deployments. Efficiency and fighting spirit, in one hull.
