[edit] Confusing sentence

The United States Navy operates several of this type of ship; their helicopters, vertical take-off and landing aircraft, and air-cushion or conventional landing craft support of the United States Marine Corps's "vertical envelopment" assault doctrine.

I can't find a verb in the second clause of that sentence (everything after the semicolon). What is it trying to say? -- CWesling 20:59, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I added the Austin class to the United States Navy section. I removed it from the decommissioned section; I know for a fact that the USS Denver (LPD-9 Austin class out of San Diego: http://www.navy.mil/navydata/fact_print.asp?cid=4200&tid=600&ct=4&page=1) is not decommissioned. If I misunderstood the purpose of the decommissioned section and it is for those ships that are PLANNED to be decommisioned, please undo my edit.
