PACIFIC OCEAN (Aug. 29, 2022) – A landing craft, air cushion (LCAC), assigned to Assault Craft Unit (ACU) 5, approaches the well deck of amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8), Aug. 29. LCACs bolster the interoperability of the U.S. Navy and Marines using Navy craft to transport Marine land vehicles and troops from ship to shore creating a more lethal force in support of naval expeditionary warfare. The Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group, comprised of amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8) and amphibious transport docks USS Anchorage (LPD 23) and USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26), is underway conducting integrated training operations with the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit in the U.S. 3rd Fleet to prepare for an upcoming deployment.
