Which amphibious ship is capable of serving as a command ship during amphibious operations?

The Amphibious Command Ship is specifically designed to serve as a command and control center during amphibious operations. This type of ship provides the necessary communication, coordination, and logistical support required for effective command over naval and ground forces during an amphibious assault. Its design includes advanced facilities for mission planning, operations management, and coordination of multiple units, thus enhancing the operational efficiency of amphibious forces.

While other ships like the Amphibious Transport Dock and Amphibious Assault Ship contribute significantly to amphibious warfare by supporting the transportation of troops and their equipment, they do not have the same level of command capabilities that the Amphibious Command Ship possesses. The Military Sealift Command primarily focuses on the logistics and transportation of equipment rather than serving as a command vessel. Therefore, it lacks the command facilities that are integral to the Amphibious Command Ship's operational role.
