The advent of barge-carrying ships provides a new transport capability that may influence military logistics in ports and over undeveloped beaches. To explore military applications of these new 'floating containers,' LASH barges were used to perform a variety of sea tests at Coronado, California. Existing Fleet assets were used to conduct tests related to (1) barge towing, handling and maneuvering, (2) barge marshalling (clustering) at sea, (3) cargo handling from barges at sea, and (4) helicopter/barge interaction. The tests demonstrated that cargo barges from commercial barge-carrying ships can be handled and unloaded by the amphibious forces. (Author)
