It is a lot of damage.

But the engineering spaces are intact, that's the high-dollar stuff. The rest of an amphib is just a bunch of boxes, pipes, and wires. They can just cut out the burnt areas and rebuild those from scratch in that case, cheaper than a new-build.

But if they can't afford a new ship or the repairs, it could get decommed. But given the situation in the Pac, I suspect they'll fix her up unless they can budget for a near-term new build replacement.

LHAs and LPDs are in production, neither of those are an exact replacement for an LHD. But the LHA is based on the last LHD (Makin Island) so maybe they could use the active LHA production to just build another Makin Island design LHD.
