I want to be able to have the LCMs and LCACs drop the equipment off the shore and to return the ships to pick up the next load. Does this sound fesible?

Sounds feasible if painful to do and use!

Only limit will be the carry class comparison between your landing crafts and main ships.

Principle would be to tweak some of your LCs to play the LHA/LSD role, by giving them a higher carry capacity if possible, and possibly no or little move. Also, if you plan to drop your forces offshore (your landing force I mean), don't forget to give them both amphibious speed AND normal weight (as opposed to the LVTP's 99).
Load your main ships full, stack the landing crafts on top of them, unload and load at once (else your units will tend to drown), land, repeat.

Should be working!
