This is a big deal, a true force multiplier. It potentially turns every non-amphib MSC ship into an over the horizon assault ship, increasing safe stand-off range and flexible deployments.
This capability could also be the reason why the USN is reducing the Gator Navy, as the MPF T-AKRs can now take over some roles of the legacy LPD/LSDs.
Great vid.
