One thing the Marines did during Bataan's Harrier Carrier ops in Iraqi Freedom was to use LCACs to resupply ammunition. They had an LSD collect ammo from conventional T-AK cargo ships via VERTREP, then load it onto LCACs in the LSD well deck and shuttle it over to Bataan via her well deck.  They could take aboard ammo in the middle of flight ops, because the well deck and flight deck didn't interfere with each other.
