No...
You are correct. As far as I recall, the USMC only has slow amphibious assault vehicles ( LVTP-7 tracked) that can do 6-10 knots or so in the water. And these cannot shoot while swimming, unless someone knows otherwise. @Indos brother, you guys have ten of these right?
This SUPERAV is the replacement (from IVECO Italy), which is not much of an improvement. They need a better platform.

I believe the largest LHD equivalent to the 075 class is the Wasp Class LHD 8 at 41,000 tons (USS Makin Island is one example shown below ported in San Diego Naval base). The Navy has eight of these.
The largest LPD the US has is the San Antonio class (Type LPD17), which are 25000 tons each, lower than the 075 class which is 40,000 tons. The only advantage the US may have on these LHDs and LPDs is that Helis carried may be more capable. MV-22 Ospreys are standard complement on these ships now. I see them practice beach assaults all the time with these and the larger helis when I am passing by San Diego.
LPD17 (there are 12 of these)
Please correct me if I misquoted anything.
