Well this has long been "what if'd" , wish listed, do they or don't they etc. I can't do better than DID covered this topic from the start of their site. Again refs/additional readings are both highlighted in blue and certainly covered at the end of this article. USMC amphib "hopes and desires" with a dose of reality and a little "we're still waiting on a decision" is all rolled into this article covering 2001 to the present.
This reading is not for the faint of heart it is long by even their standards.

It's as good as it gets no fuss no mess, I just wait a decision to do what I do. The only question I have for now is does our AAV-7 meet the current/coming improvement standards?
