When partnered with the Navy, the Marine Corps is uniquely capable, of expeditionary and amphibious operations. To do so we require no less than 31 Amphibious Warfare Ships and 35 Medium Landing Ships to meet the requirements stated in multiple National Defense Strategies.

Our maritime mobility is critically important now, and even more so in the future.
