-The '''Naval Capability-based Restructuring Act of 2028''' is the [[Navy of Burgundie]]'s residual action following the [[Burgoignesc Military Compte Rendu]] of [[2025]] and the [[21st_Century_Burgoignesc_Power_Projection_Stratagem#Operation_Cavum_Fundamentum|21st Century Burgoignesc Power Projection Stratagem's Operation Cavum Fundamentum]]. It is a sweeping reform to the structure of the [[Navy of Burgundie]], but it is most famous for reorganizing the fleets around amphibious assault ships (AAS) and Expeditionary Mobile Bases (EMBs) instead of aircraft carriers.

+==Background==
+As part of the [[Burgoignesc Military Compte Rendu]] of [[2025]], the [[Navy of Burgundie]]'s leadership looked at the mission sets for AASs, EMBs, and aircraft carriers and came to the following conclusions:

-Of the capabilities that only an aircraft carrier could perform, large scale fixed-wing aircraft delivery and recovery, the [[Navy of Burgundie]] did not have a sufficient need to match the expenditure of maintaining the number of carriers it currently maintained.
+Of the capabilities that only an aircraft carrier could perform, large scale fixed-wing aircraft delivery and recovery, the [[Navy of Burgundie]] did not have a sufficient need to match the expenditure of maintaining the number of carriers it currently maintained. It was then decided that the number of aircraft carriers in service in the [[Navy of Burgundie|Navy]] would remain the same, but that as they were struck from the roles, they would be replaced at a 1:3 ratio instead of the previous 1:1. The differential in the budget would be put towards new AASs and EMBs, the latter costing only a fraction of the cost of an aircraft carrier and therefore would be ordered and built at a 3:1 ratio as the aircraft carriers were retired.
+===2027 Burgoignesc Military Compte Rendu===
+Subsequent analysis in 2026 further explored the roles and responsibilities of the AASs and the EMBs and made the following report in the 2027 [[Burgoignesc Military Compte Rendu]]:
+Amphibious assault ships are the primary choice for launching and supporting amphibious assaults. They carry a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), which includes ground forces, helicopters, and landing craft, enabling swift and decisive beach landings. They are capable of rapidly deploying MEUs, providing a quick response to crises and contingencies. They offer a versatile and powerful tool for immediate intervention. AASs serve as mobile airbases, supporting air operations with a mix of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. This integrated air support is crucial for enhancing operational capabilities. In scenarios where the mission involves the projection of power from the sea to the shore, such as amphibious invasions, humanitarian interventions, or the establishment of forward operating bases the amphibious assault ship is the only choice. Because of their military signature and high sea-state capabilities, AASs are ideal for rapid deployment of ground forces, air support, and logistical support to address emerging threats or respond to humanitarian emergencies, regardless of the condition. They are also ideal when air superiority and a sustained air presence are vital for mission success.
+Expeditionary Mobile Base (ESB) ships are designed to provide extensive logistical support, including maintenance, resupply, and medical facilities. They serve as forward-operating bases, offering sustained support for a variety of missions. They function as command-and-control hubs, equipped with communication systems and facilities for coordinating complex operations. They offer flexibility in managing multiple missions simultaneously. ESBs have the flexibility to support a range of missions, including humanitarian aid, special operations, and intelligence gathering. Their modular design allows for adaptable mission configurations. In situations where the focus is on establishing a prolonged presence, supporting sustained operations, or serving as a hub for logistical activities, especially in regions with limited infrastructure, the ESB is the optimal choice. They provide a hub for a centralized command structure, coordination of joint operations, or the establishment of a strategic node for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) activities. They are also ideal when the mission objectives are diverse and may evolve, requiring a platform capable of quickly adapting to changing circumstances, especially for airmobile forces. They are unarmored and unprotected so they are not ideal for frontline service, even with an escort, but because of their inconspicuous profile can be used in pre-emptive, first strike missions.
+Amphibious assault ships excel in rapid amphibious operations in all conditions, while ESB ships offer versatility, sustained support, and a command-and-control hub for a broader array of missions.
