Tet68,
the Kearsarge is part of the 22nd MEU with about 2,000 Marines on board it and other ships of the group. They can put them ashore with tanks in a few hours from 5o miles out and support them with their own air cover.

They are the shock troops and they are ready to shock.

Are they equipped with those air-cushion landing craft? Those things are fast.
