T-AKE
USNS Lewis and Clark Class Dry Cargo/Ammo Ships 14 Ships (11 NFAF and 3 MPF(F))
Currently under construction at NASSCO10 ships delivered to date
Last delivery scheduled for late FY12 / early FY13
UNCLAS

T-AKE Issues
• NASSCO continuing to deliver ships ahead of schedule
• Overall quality continuing to improve with each successive ship delivered
• T-AKE remains a shining star amongst current Navy ship acquisition programs
• Discussion on which ships to use for Prepo–Last 3 or first 3
• Last ship in a class is always a challenge

T-AGM 25
Missile Range Instrumentation ShipEventual replacement for Observation Island
Currently under construction at VT Halter Marine
UNCLAS
Military Sealift Command Mission-focused… Value-driven 6
T-AGM 25 Issues
• Delivery previously rescheduled from Jun 10 to Dec 10
–VTHM has continued to fall behind schedule and is now reporting anticipated additional slip in delivery date
• Ship to be provided as GFE to Raytheon for radar installation not later than 1 Feb 11
–PEO (IWS 2.0) contemplating towing incomplete ship to Corpus Christ in mid-Jan 11 for radar installation
–Plan for having VTHM complete ship unclear at this time
–Plan for delivering ship to MSC unclear at this time
• Significant concerns regarding quality of ship design and construction and quality of ILS documentation

JHSV
Joint High Speed Vessels10 ships (currently 5 Army and 5 Navy under contract)
(Possibility of 15 or more ships total for Navy)Currently being designed and built at Austal USA in Mobile, AL
Lead ship delivery scheduled for November 2011
UNCLAS

JHSV CONOPs
• Primary mission: high speed intra-theater logistics/sealift capability (600 short tons of payload at 35 knots over a distance of 1200 nautical miles)
• Specialized secondary missions:
–Theater Security Cooperation
–Global Fleet Station
–Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief
–Augment CLF
–Sea Base to Shore Connector
• Adaptive force packages consisting of personnel and equipment will be embarked to support specialized missions
UNCLAS
Military Sealift Command Mission-focused… Value-driven 9
JHSV Issues
• Quality of construction/workmanship thus far is good
• Concerns regarding a number of design issues–Minimal change proposals being entertained per ASN
(RD&A) direction
• Significant concerns regarding ability to sustain ships when operating in austere ports due to limited onboard spare parts and provisions
• Army and Navy senior leadership discussing possibility of MSC taking over operation of Army vessels prior to delivery of first ship of class

Mobile Landing Platform3 ? Ships (variant of NASSCO BP Alaska Class tanker design)
Original program of record design concept changed to FLO-FLO design conceptDetailed design currently in progress at NASSCO
UNCLAS
Military Sealift Command Mission-focused… Value-driven 11
MLP Issues
• Program is cost constrained (~$500M/ship)
• Current major concerns:–Anticipate minimal onboard spare parts
–Adequacy of anchor sizing
• Primary missions is sea base to shore connector–Use of mission modules on wet deck being considered to
increase potential mission capabilities• Pier at Sea – Allows offload at Sea
• Personnel Berthing
• Hospital Facilities
• HA/DR
• Aviation
• SPECWAR
• Irregular Warfare

T-AO(X)
Fleet Replenishment Oilers14 Ships
Accelerated acquisition program included in Navy’s POM12 submission
UNCLAS
Military Sealift Command Mission-focused… Value-driven 15
T-AO(X) Issues
• Analysis of Alternatives–Optimum cargo capacity – liquid and dry
–Potentially replace T-AOE when paired with T-AKE
–Existing commercial design (T-AO or T-AKE variant)
–Foreign “Support Ship” design
–Leasing options
• MARPOL double-hull and 12a compliant design
• Competitive procurement anticipated–Objective is to award detailed design and construction
contract in early FY14 due to industrial base considerations
UNCLAS
Military Sealift Command Mission-focused… Value-driven 16
T-AGOS (X)
• Last-minute addition to Navy’s POM 12 submission–Not related to FY22 POR for T-AGOS(X) program to
eventually replace existing T-AGOS vessels
• Single ship procurement to fulfill emergent LANT fleet requirement
–Requirement for dual mission capability (active and passive arrays) similar to T-AGOS 23
• Design alternatives being evaluated–T-AGOS 23 variant
–T-AGOS 19 Class variant
–New design
UNCLAS

T-ATF/T-ARS/T-ATS
• 30 year shipbuilding plan–ATF recap officially starts in 2015
–ARS recap officially starts in 2020
• Options–Replace in kind
–Replace with enhanced capabilities
–Common hull (single ship class)
–Hybrid propulsion
–Own, lease or charter
• Navy’s POM 12 submission reflects accelerated procurement with objective of awarding detailed design and construction contract

Future New Construction Projects
• Additional new construction projects in current Navy 30-year shipbuilding plan
–LCC(R) – 1 Ship (FY12-FY15) – AOA ongoing• Likely to result in life extension for current LCC
–T-AGOS(X) – 5 Ships (FY20-FY28)
–T-AOE(X) – 4 Ships (FY29-FY36)• Maybe rolled into T-AO(X)
• Programs subject to change pending completion of QDR and subsequent revision of 30-year shipbuilding plan
