That could certainly explain how it was initially with the Omega fleet but wasn't the flagship.

Targan, is a 3rd way feasible?
What about an all-encompassing Opord:Omega that has troops being pulled from Korea, Japan, Australia and points east...erm, west...and the Tarawa is conveniently the flagship of
that evac mission, and it takes place at the same time, having avoided the worst of the typhoon season?
It satisfies all parties: Tarawa still afloat, but not a factor in the European/Baltic theatre.
