OK, quick qn- after my research on the names of US warships, I've discovered-to my horror- that there is in fact no current serving USN vessel (whether LPD, LHA or CG) named after this epic WWII US Marine battle Now, why is this ? There are fictional namesakes, such as the LHA of the same name in RULES OF ENGAGEMENT (which was actually USS TARAWA) & in JAG- but what bout the real thing ?
