Why the U.S. Navy's America-Class Amphibious Assault Ships are One of a Kind

These are easily a good alternative to the supper carrier. We need to build more of these aviation focused big deck amphibs. If you are actually going to conduct an amphibious assault and need extra LCAC lift add an Expeditionary Mobile Base (ESB) or extra LSD to the group. Larger deck space and fuel storage for aircraft such as the V-22 Osprey and F-35B outweighs the small advantage of having a well deck in this day and age. I mean when was the last time we conducted an opposed amphibious landing.

We need to rebuild our Navy. These amphibious assault ships are so important!
