If it was anything like the marines, not good. I recall reading (can't remember where) that the US only had a handful of landing craft available for the amphibious landings at Inchon in Korea as they'd sold them all off at the end of WWII. I think it was just six still in service (out of how many thousands?) so there was a rush to beg/borrow/steal them back from their new owners for the offensive.
