The Iwo Jimas were the only ones with out them (off the top of my head at least). They were from a time before the LCAC and the Heli was the fastest way to get troops ashore. But any heavy gear would have to come in on a LST or a standard landing craft.

Yea, its part of the BMD program. They launch Scuds at that test range in Hawaii.
