Gen. David Odom, recently pushed the ship needs of the Corps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking on separate days at the annual National Defense Industrial Association\u2019s annual Expeditionary Warfare Conference, Berger and Odom both championed the America-class amphibious assault ship of the landing helicopter assault type, along with the still-underdevelopment complementary cousin, the light amphibious warship, or LAW.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/marinecorpstimes\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2021\/02\/23\/hawaii-1st-to-receive-new-amphibious-warships-as-part-of-marine-littoral-regiments\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/48171036271_ce0ed998f0_k.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Hawaii 1st to receive new amphibious warships as part of Marine littoral regiments<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The light amphibious warships can carry 40 sailors and at least 75 Marines.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The America-class ship has been in service since 2014 and gives Marines a vertical lift platform at range in various areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Odom praised the LHA\u2019s versatility, calling it \u201ctwo anchor points of sovereign U.S. territory\u201d during his remarks in on Thursday NDIA panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The expeditionary warfare director noted the progress of the Tripoli, slated for service later in 2022, and the Bougainville, under construction and featuring a needed well deck expected to launch in 2023 and delivered for service by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy plans to buy between 24 and 35 LAWs, the first purchase in 2023, according to budget documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The anticipated cost runs $100 million to $150 million each for the LAW, a Congressional Research Service report noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The LAW is a much smaller ship that should carry up to 75 Marines and be able to conduct a beach offload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ship, still under design, will be between 200 feet and 400 feet long, weigh between 3,000 tons and 4,000 tons and carry up to 10,000 square feet of cargo, said Navy Capt. Scott Searles, program manager for PMS 317. That program monitors amphibious assault and connectors for the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Five companies under Pentagon contracts in the LAW program recently got the new options for the preliminary design phase, reported <a href=\"https:\/\/news.usni.org\/2022\/02\/10\/navy-marines-want-the-light-amphibious-warship-to-haul-75-marines-for-150m-or-less\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Naval Institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those are Fincantieri, Austal USA, VT Halter Marine, Bollinger and TAI Engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A small flotilla could deliver the Corps\u2019 newest unit to combat: the Marine littoral regiment. The littoral regiments are expected to be the center of force projection on the manpower side, working in major combat operations but spread out, alongside the Marine expeditionary units already in theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The light amphibious warship program has had its critics in recent years. The pitch was rolled out in detail in 2019 as the Corps\u2019 answer to staying mobile and maritime relevant while not taking away major funding for big Navy priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the Marines continue to push.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re leaning in hard on the light amphibious warship,\u201d Odom said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Berger and Odom called the two ships complementary to each other in the service\u2019s anticipated way of warfare, which will include expeditionary advanced base operations \u2015 small groups of disparate Marines, perhaps a company, platoon or even squad, running interference, launching long-range fires and harassing adversaries\u2019 flanks to open options to Navy ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though U.S. shipbuilding has struggled in recent decades with shifting priorities and budget constraints, Berger emphasized in his Tuesday talk at the NDIA event that building both ships at the same time isn\u2019t only possible, but necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s the tactical mobility to move a smaller element organically that fits this stand-in force approach that we\u2019re taking,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team of the two types of ships allows for deterrence and denial from crisis response to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, along with combat missions, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey are not a substitute for each other because a traditional amphibious ship has all the attributes that we know and love so much over the years that a Marine expeditionary unit and amphibious ready group have been using,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Corps needs both big and small ships for
