The Goal is for the US marines to operate from a fleet of 40-60 of these 4000 ton vessels, each only costing $100-130 million a piece. A very smart strategy; distributed lethality. Operating in squadrons of 9 of these vessels.
Each will carry 75 Marines and 45 sailors.
Part of the new mission would be sinking enemy submarines and surface ships. Expect a lot of work with a fully modernized SOSUS nets.
