Best of all, this solves the problem of limited deck space. Park a truck on it.
Good, let the arty guys get yelled at for clobbering the running track/parade ground that some misguided souls might call a flight deck.Best of all, this solves the problem of limited deck space. Park a truck on it.

Just send an LCS with them and park the truck there instead of the LPD. Then the LCS caps/lims brief will actually have a capabilities slide.Good, let the arty guys get yelled at for clobbering the running track/parade ground that some misguided souls might call a flight deck.

Huh. You could do the same thing with mobile SAMs....
A much more limited and expensive solution.

You’re not going to see a TLAM employed for a CAS fires request from marines on the ground.
DDGs don’t go with an ARG, only an ESG. if you don’t have the whole gang then there’s no TLAMs. Also as others have mentioned TLAMs aren’t used in this capacity (strategic vs tactical). I’m guessing this should be viewed as a slight at USN’s lack of NGFS.
So the DDGs that escort the L-ships have no TLAM? I'm pretty sure they do.
I'll stick to my statement that this is a neat science experiment.
HIMARS... on a ship deck. The 'HIM' part of that acronym, not so much...
