Amphibious Combat Vehicle pics...MEGA THREAD (USMC did a pic dump last week)

Note. These pics are from a bit of shipboard action, an officer training course (IRC) and some other activity that escapes me. They hit last week but I'm just swinging around to posting them.

This is another point of confusion for me with FD2030.  This vehicle would fit the old Corps but with FD2030 it should be canned.

CB90s fit the mission of coastal defense and littoral combat much better than the Amphibious Combat Vehicle.  Additional confusion comes from the increased procurement. If any part of the portfolio should be slow walked you would think it would be this.

Are we seeing an indication of hedging?  I doubt it. Berger has been singularly focused on the Indo-Pacific.  I say again. The ACV makes no sense for the force design being pursued.  The CB90 makes nothing but sense for the coastal defense/littoral combat mission.

Sidenote.  It finally dawned on me.  I finally hit on what the USMC is transitioning to...I mean we have a real life example. The USMC is turning into a butched up version of the Swedish Amphibious Corps. Check it out here.
