There is certainly some overlap. The F-35B that launches off of the amphibious ship has some of the same capabilities as the f-35C that launches off of the longer carrier.
But that's not relevant to my point.
China has six amphibious ships and one longer carrier. We have nine and 10, respectively. Each of theirs is significantly less capable than each of ours. 
The UK and France are the only other countries that have a ship remotely similar to the USS Enterprise. They have one each. How many do we need?

Continuous and indefinite coverage of 3 naval hubs (Med, Arabian, W Pac) requires 16 fleet carriers. We currently have 11 fleet carriers. If we have to dispatch two carriers for a single event we do not have sufficient capacity to do so.
