Default Amphib decks commanded by SWOs ?

Mike Weeks @

Does anyone have any knowledge (general or otherwise) as to when the
USN changed its policy regarding authorizing surface warfare officers
to command the large amphib decks (the LPHs/LHAs/LHDs) ??
I'm thinking it didn't happen until after the 1970s. TIA.

But, but... We didn't HAVE the Surface Warfare Program in the Sixties...
