USS Wasp (LHD 1) conducts AV-8B Harrier flight operations while underway in the Atlantic Ocean. April 6, 2024

USS Wasp had an engineering casualty a few weeks ago.

The readiness rate of our amphibious fleet is dismal, which is exactly why no one relieved the 26th MEU in the Middle East. There are at least two other TFs in the region though.
