New Light Amphibious Warship Will be the U.S. Marine Corps Workhorse
Though the design has yet to be finalized, it would give the Corps a new and needed capability to ferry troops ashore.
In conjunction with the U.S. Navy, the Marine Corps is looking for a new warship to bring them from ship to shore. Unlike the little Higgins boats that were instrumental to the Marine Corps’ World War II island hopping campaign, these ships would be much larger, somewhere between 200 to 400 feet long, with around 8,000 square feet of equipment storage space, and room onboard for seventy-five fully-armed Marines.
