Wow. If only these things could put gear across a beach! Shipping is the achilles heel of this EABO concept. The Navy is all onboard with the concept but needs to shore up its battle fleet before allocating more resources to the gator navy.#Watch @USMC Marines embark the @MSCSealift USNS Brunswick during Exercise Noble Jaguar 2021 at Naha Port, Okinawa, Japan. #TogetherWeDeliver @USNavy @IIIMEF pic.twitter.com/Tm9Faqci1G

It all comes down to prioritizes and calculated risk. My guess is that the Navy is calculating that it can wait a bit before buying the LAW.
The problem?
The entire dynamic in the Pacific could change by 2030 rendering this concept obsolete.
