The basic report presents systems concepts descriptions for sea-based MX missiles, using surface ships as transporters. Near-term (1985-1990) and far-term (1990-2000) systems are described. Floating launch methods are proposed, using either encapsulated missiles or the simpler (bare) HYDRA-type vertical floating launch. Parameters described include: force composition, missile jettison techniques, port facilities, deployment areas, personnel requirements system costs, vulnerability, countermeasures, and C3 considerations. Appendices include containerships and surface effects ships (SES) data. (Author)
