Spain’s Juan Carlos I acts as a light carrier, assault ship, and logistics hub in one hull. A ski-jump deck hosts AV-8B or F-35B jets plus helicopters, while diesel-electric engines deliver range and fuel savings. Vehicle decks hold tanks and armored cars, and the well deck fits four landing craft. Two operating rooms, an ICU, and redundant systems boost endurance and survivability on global tasks.
