The SECRET Reasons Why The Amphibious Ships Are Replacing Supercarriers

The naval world is shifting fast! While the nuclear supercarrier used to be the undisputed king of firepower, the Navy is now leaning into large-deck amphibious ships. LHAs, like the America-class, are far cheaper—$3.5 billion instead of $13 billion for a CVN. By using them as “Lightning Carriers” packed with up to 20 F-35B stealth jets, we can spread out our air power. This dispersion is the key to surviving modern threats.
