Which capability is NOT a mission of the Independence/Freedom-class Littoral Combat Ships (LCS)?

The Independence/Freedom-class Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) are specifically designed for operations in coastal and littoral zones, where they can effectively engage with various threats and fulfill multiple missions. While these ships are equipped for a variety of roles, they are not intended for conducting large-scale amphibious assaults, which is typically a function reserved for larger amphibious warfare ships.

The design characteristics of LCSs emphasize agility and versatility, allowing them to adapt to different missions through the use of various mission packages and equipment. The other capabilities mentioned, such as engaging against asymmetric threats and utilizing mission packages, directly align with the intended missions of LCS. However, large-scale amphibious assaults require substantial support and logistics that are beyond the operational scope of these ships, which is why this capability is not part of the LCS mission set.
