摘要: |
A Center for Innovation in Ship Design study was conducted to investigate the potential use of heavy lift ship technology to facilitate transfer of cargo and personnel in a sea base environment. Emphasis was placed on rough water operations. The Intermediate Transfer System (ITS) utilizes currently available heavy lift ships as trans-shipment nodes to facilitate transfer of vehicles, personnel, and cargo between large inter-theater RO/RO and container delivery ships and smaller intra-theater vessels. Emphasis was placed on higher off-load rates in higher seas. Alternate uses of the concept such as delivery of lighterage to the sea base, reconstitution of forces, and salvage were explored. / NOTE: Technical rept. 1 Apr-1 Jul 2003. / Supplementary Notes: The original document contains color images. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
