Good name for this Assault ship, LHA-7.

Tripoli is 855 feet long, displaces approximately 43,745 tons fully loaded, and is operated by a crew of 1,000. The ship has room for up to 1,687 Marines and their aircraft. While the ship lacks offensive armament, it is well equipped to defend itself. Tripoli is armed with two Rolling Airframe Missile launchers, two Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile launchers, two 20mm Phalanx CIWS mounts, and seven twin .50 cal. machine guns

Nice looking ship. Should be able to handle whatever comes up.
Appropriate name as well. Good luck guys & gals.
