The panel's interpretation of US amphibious-command rules

Is a US Navy rule preventing aviators from commanding amphibious ships really necessary?

The panel offers a tentative explanation involving command opportunities for surface warfare officers; it does not establish that the restriction is technically necessary.

The exchange at 1:45:26 links the command rule described in the question to the restriction of aircraft-carrier command to aviators. The interpretation offered is that restricting amphibious commands could preserve prestigious large-hull posts for surface warfare officers. This is presented as a possible institutional explanation, rather than a documented Navy rationale or a technical requirement of shiphandling.
