An Analysis of the Navy’s Amphibious Warfare Ships for Deploying Marines Overseas – November 18, 2011

  • “A force of 33 ships represents a fiscally constrained compromise from the Marine Corps’ objective of having 38 amphibious ships. That 38-ship goal represents the number of ships the Navy and Marine Corps would like to have in the fleet in order to execute an opposed amphibious assault using two Marine expeditionary brigades in the event of war. Under the 2012 plan, the Navy’s inventory of amphibious ships would reach at least 33 ships for 15 of the next 30 years—between 2017 and
    2031. The rest of the time, from 2012 to 2016 and from 2032 to 2041, the amphibious force would fall below that objective. Over the next 30 years, the force would never reach 38 ships.”
