The Super Bug can't operate from the deck of an LHA/LHD.

Now what's your "solution"?

They value the Harrier and it's unique capabilities. The super hornet is restricted to carrier and finished runway operations.

It may be a go fast airplane but it doesn't meet the needs of the USMC when it comes to organic close air support.
