The Navy is decommissioning Tarawa class LHAs because they don't have the funding or the manpower to keep them in commission. And you want them to dump billions into a platform with virtually no useful purpose in the current war. Good plan.
And what is your plan? What idea do you have to support the Commandant since he's going to Congress and saying in essence this fancy new boat won't protect my Marines?
It sure sounds like he's thought this out more than you have.
I feel like a dog watching a tennis match. I know there's a point of contention here, but damned if I comprehend who's got the better argument.
