ship</a> of the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Navy" title="United States Navy">United States Navy</a>. Introduced to fleet service in 1985, this class of ship features a large <a href="/wiki/Well_deck" title="Well deck">well deck</a> for transporting <a href="/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps" title="United States Marine Corps">United States Marine Corps</a> (USMC) vehicles and a large flight deck for landing helicopters or <a href="/wiki/Bell_Boeing_V-22_Osprey" title="Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey">V-22 Ospreys</a>. The well deck was designed to hold four <a href="/wiki/Landing_Craft_Air_Cushion" title="Landing Craft Air Cushion">LCAC</a> hovercraft, five if the vehicle ramp is raised, for landing Marines. Recent deployments have used a combination of LCU(s), AAVs, tanks, <a href="/wiki/LARC-V" title="LARC-V">LARCs</a> and other USMC vehicles. The <i>Whidbey Island</i> class of ship also uniquely benefits from multiple cranes and a shallow <a href="/wiki/Draft_(hull)" title="Draft (hull)">draft</a> that further make it ideal for participating in amphibious operations. </p><p>As of 2009, all ships of the class are scheduled to undergo a midlife upgrade over the next five years to ensure that they remain in service through 2038. The ships will be upgraded annually through 2013, and the last ship will be modernized in 2014. Ships homeported on the East Coast will undergo upgrades at Metro Machine Corp., while those on the West Coast will receive upgrades at General Dynamics <a href="/wiki/National_Steel_and_Shipbuilding_Company" title="National Steel and Shipbuilding Company">National Steel and Shipbuilding Company</a> in San Diego.<sup id="cite_ref-NNS090529-27_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NNS090529-27-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:New_Orleans_USS_Tortuga_Katrina_Sept_5.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/New_Orleans_USS_Tortuga_Katrina_Sept_5.jpg/220px-New_Orleans_USS_Tortuga_Katrina_Sept_5.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="184" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/New_Orleans_USS_Tortuga_Katrina_Sept_5.jpg/330px-New_Orleans_USS_Tortuga_Katrina_Sept_5.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/New_Orleans_USS_Tortuga_Katrina_Sept_5.jpg/440px-New_Orleans_USS_Tortuga_Katrina_Sept_5.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1960" data-file-height="1642" /></a><figcaption>Stern view of <a href="/wiki/USS_Tortuga_(LSD-46)" title="USS Tortuga (LSD-46)">USS <i>Tortuga</i></a> with open well deck</figcaption></figure> <p>Major elements of the upgrade package include diesel engine improvements, fuel and maintenance savings systems, engineering control systems, increased air conditioning and chill water capacity, and replacement of air compressors.
