Replace Kaiser oilers, 15 in service and also 3 Supply Class big polyvalent fast supply ships but USN waives such ships, damage !
This will be a class of 17 large replenishment oilers to replace the 15 USNS Heryy Kaiser TAO class oilers currently in service.US SECNAV Names 1st Ship of T-AO(X) Next Gen Fleet Replenishment Oilers USNS John Lewis
The Kaisers started entering service in 1986 and have a projected 35 year service life. They displace 41,000 tons and are 677 feet long.
The new John Lewis class will increase the space for dry cargo, increase the overall lift carrying capacity, add a refueling capability for helicopters on the flight deck, improved =the electrical power system, and add more automation.
They will look very similar, but may displace upwards of 50,000 tons, and be a little longer.

Those two new LHDs are, IMHO, in many ways better than the French variant because of the upgrades/changes the Russians ordered for them.
Add to that the FREMM FFG and the GoWind FFGs and you have a very modern and capable force being developed.
The Turks are also really modernizing their Navy...and, as a matter of fact, the Algerians are too.
