Since 1991, Iwo Jima, known today in Japan as Iwo To, has been the practice site of “touch-and-go” landings for pilots looking to hone their skills.
The service completed a study of Wasp-class amphibious assault ships and is currently conducting another on amphibious dock landing ships.
In one of his first public addresses as acting Navy secretary, Hung Cao said he didn't need "cross-dressers" or "leaf eaters" in the service.
The service's new Medium Landing Ship is designed to move troops, equipment and supplies to shorelines without relying on established ports.
