President Trump and Sec. Hegseth:
Hands down, it was the A10 that was the biggest asset for the Straits of Hormuz. First time ever, that is what cheaper to take out an enemies assets then the cost of the ammo. Next we need bridge boats that daisy chain, so we can bring ground forces from sea in large quantities. Armor loiters the best and holds real estate. Navy and Air assets make their way to the theater of operations, but still needs their ground counterparts in the mix. We are only operating at 50% capabilities at best, without them. These EBS commercial tankers would be cost effective for such bridge boats, that can run dual duty like EBS ships. They need extendable platforms that have hovercraft skirts to pull them to shore with the aid of the ship mechanics. We need this today!!!
