USS Boxer, an amphibious assault ship, is undergoing repairs, causing disruptions to Marine Corps operations.
"When you lose your big-deck, you lose most of your aviation assets and you lose your crisis response force," Marine Corps commandant Gen. Eric M. Smith told members of the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday.
Smith also said that Marines cannot train the same with the USS Boxer, a large flattop that resembles a medium-sized aircraft carrier, currently out of action.
Amphibious assault ships, or LHDs, typically have flight and hangar decks that helicopters and aircraft like the Harrier jump jet or newer F-35Bs can operate from.
