Indeed she also serves as a so called "light aircraft carrier".
Her aircraft are the F-35B, which can lift off and land vertically as well as the V-22 Osprey, which can be seen at the very aft.
Cheers,
Roy

They are F-35. They don't need a catapult to take off.

Serve as an air craft carrier as well ? There are air crafts at the forward part.
