    That would change overnight if we had personel getting pasted by IDF while dropping off supplies.

    One of the big differences between now and USS Liberty is by how much coverage these things get. It would be hard to keep it out of the media.

    Besides which, LCACs have been used before in exactly this role. (They’re hovercraft designed to drop off tanks in a beach. IIRC, they were used in Africa?)
