USS Shangri-La (LHA-10), is the fifth America-class amphibious assault ship built for the United States Navy. The second ship U.S. warship to be named Shangri-La, she acts as the mobile command vessel for the 2nd Special Forces Operational Detachment-Foxtrot. She is designed to carry specialized landing craft, carrying a part of a Marine expeditionary unit as well for support. She also makes use of helicopters and V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft, with additional support by F-35B Lightning II and AV-8B Harrier II aircraft.
While sharing a similar design to the Flight 1 America-class ships, her specialized nature allows for unrivaled success in Anti-abyssal warfare, having been built with the focus of the Abyssal War.
