Well, Marines on a Boat have limited value so you've gotta get them on the ground somehow.

..."Kaine’s comments echo those of his House counterpart. Speaking on March 9, Rep. Trent Kelly, R-Miss., the new chairman of the House Armed Services seapower and projection forces subcommittee, stated, “My commitment to the future of these platforms is unwavering, regardless of the Navy’s intent to strategically pause purchasing.” Obviously, having the two chairmen of the seapower authorizing committees on the same page in support of the amphib requirement is good news for those angered by the “strategic pause.”
Also of note, Kaine casually mentioned that he is “likely” to receive the Navy’s updated 30-year shipbuilding plan “in the next day or so.” That document is often delivered later than required to members of Congress, and the previous version was controversial for presenting a choose-your-own-option document to members — something Del Toro said to expect again this year."
