U.S. Marine Corps Could Be Left With No Effective Amphibious Warfare Fleet (From 1945)

October 20, 2022October 20, 2022Daniel Gouré, Ph.D.

The Department of Defense may be creating a “perfect storm,” a situation in which LSD decommissioning and LPD 17 Flight II production terminations, coupled with increasing costs for the LAW, could leave the Sea Services with inadequate numbers of both large and small amphibs. As a result, the amphibious fleet would not be postured to meet either its peacetime presence and crisis response missions or contribute to a high-end fight as envisioned by the Marine Corps’ new operational concept. I have written more on this subject here.
