The U.S. Navy has a number of large amphibious assault carriers that normally embark mostly Marine helicopters, along with a small detachment (4-6) of Harriers or the F-35B that is replacing the Harrier. As well as a thousand-plus Marines.

But somebody came up with the concept of making a mini aircraft carrier and putting the max number of F-35B Lightnings on the ship. They got two squadrons' worth (20 aircraft) on the ship, along with a couple of helicopters. This makes the ship into a pretty formidable strike asset.
