Yeah but also on very small scale since each LHA can carry 1687 marines without heavy support. And there are 9 of them currently, so using just them and other ships for support they can conquer some islands or make a shore landing at most. That make them also mostly a terror weapon, like the XV - XIX century raids colonizers did. Not a serious conquering like in Iraq.
We are not talking about any conquering here though. And btw you can’t conquer anything with a carrier either, it’s pure racket weapon.
Yes, I was referring to amphibious ships which allow you to land boots on shore.
