Modern US warships are designed to take severe damage, brought back to dry dock, repaired and fight again.

True. But this one is 22 years old and gutted. Do you spend ten figures repairing her or do you invest the money in replacing her?

I don’t know. It all depends on how many LHA’s are in the new construction pipe line. If a new on is one (LHA) is near completion maybe you start a new one as a replacement. These are the type of strategic decisions usual made during wartime, it is very unusual to have to make these kind of decisions in peace time.
