So basically, this is a large size Iwo Jima class helicopter carrier. Also, I guess they finally decided to scrap the last Tripoli LPH 10.

Yep. I was on the New Orleans of the same class. She is razor blades now.

Actually this is a good move. The LPDs can carry the Amtracks; which is really an outdated and expensive tool for amphibious landings.
