I haven't been aboard any of the newer Gators but my experience back in the day leads me to believe that things have improved a lot due to technology now available on these ships. Still, amphibious assaults are incredibly complex and a lots of hard, dangerous work. Boats, LCAC and tracked vehicles from the well deck and helicopters and now tilt rotors on the flight deck at the same time with boats in the water and alongside means you have to stay focused.

Please try it once. I remember it only cost 10$ for a tour
@@ShipOnTheSea1 Maybe if one comes to Portland for the Rose festival someday. We otherwise don't have a navy presence in Oregon.
