Why Aren’t U.S. Navy LCAC Hovercraft Being Used To Deliver Aid To Gaza?

It will take some time before the Biden administration's highly touted pier in Gaza is usable again after breaking apart in heavy seas. Humanitarian aid deliveries via the sea have subsequently ground to a halt and criticisms are growing about how the technically 'no-boots-on-the-ground' mission has proceeded to date. Yet the U.S. has a robust capability to conduct outsized deliveries from ship to shore without any of this infrastructure. So, if this is such a high-priority humanitarian mission, where are the U.S. Navy's Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) hovercraft?

That it certainly one option if you like the wavy wiggly line of fixing points or have the time to pre drill and then setup the boards so they are exactly in line. Your eye can see a 0.5mm difference in placement.

 

 

I dont have any wavy wiggly lines but It always helps if you draw a pencil line first 😄
