Why Fearless was not clearly better than the Raleigh-class LPD

Was the Fearless-class landing platform dock better than the Raleigh class?

No clear superiority emerges: Fearless had poor command facilities, and both classes were unpleasant heavy-weather platforms.

Fearless's command facilities are criticized as a weakness for an amphibious headquarters, with Mike Clapp named as a relevant point of reference. Both the Fearless and Raleigh classes are also described as unpleasant ships in heavy seas. Command accommodation and seakeeping therefore matter to the comparison alongside their nominal amphibious capabilities. The brief answer does not provide a full technical ranking of the two designs.
