The forum highlighted the importance of U.S. Navy amphibious warships and their critical role of enabling the Navy-Marine Corps team to deploy swiftly and aggressively from sea and air in times of crisis. Amphibious warship suppliers and key leadership had the opportunity to raise awareness and discuss the challenges facing the industrial base when it comes to inconsistent funding, the impact of the supply chain, and the importance of maintaining a steady production line for workforce stability. View more photos and event materials here.
