摘要: During an amphibious assault, the forces ashore are supplied with fuel that is transferred through a buoyant hose line from Navy ships. Over standoff distances of 10,000 feet or more, it is necessary to boost the line pressure at intermediate points along the hose line to maintain the flow rate. The autonomous marine booster pump (AMBP) program was started by the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC) to develop a floating booster pump system that could be remotely controlled, self-powered, and cooled by the product in the hose line. Howland Associates was contracted by NFESC to design and fabricate a prototype of the AMBP. Before fabrication, roll stability calculations for the AMBP were made based on design drawings. After the equipment pallet (i.e., the AMBP without the hull) was built, its weight and balance data were experimentally determined and combined with design estimates for the hull, which was not fabricated. This report documents the changes in the AMBP's estimated weight, center of gravity, freeboard, and righting moments corresponding to roll angles 0 and 15 degrees.
