The EM-155 Sea Lion Amphibious assault ship was deisgned to meet a growing requirement from the Elias Navy in order to replace/compliment Ivan Rogov and Whidbey island type vessels. The new ships are more advanced yet cost effective as they are based however on an existing hull design (Albion class) although a the Following modifications to the existing hull have been made:

-43ft extension to dock and flight deck area.
-Increase in well deck space and hangar facilites while reducing size of cargo areas (as Sturgeon (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=59383) Combat Support vessels are nearly always in company)
-Installation of Bow thruster to allow easier dock manoevering.

The Elias Navy has so far ordered 16 with options for a further 4 of these vessels and while the Ministry of Defence Procuremnt and Export has cleared the type for export, few are expected due to the fact that other it is based on an already available design.

The ships revised dimensions are suited perfectly to house 550 Marines which is exactly one quarter of a Marine Battallion, therefore they are to be deployed usually in fours along with a Combat Support vessel and escorts. This forms the basis of the new Amphibious Ready Group plan which calls for one Marine Battallion to be ready to deploy at all times.

This is a landing ship, and the wasp is an amphibious assault ship. There's a difference, the AAS can carry more troops, more aircraft, and more LCACs o whatever.
