The ship repair capability of U.S. shipyards was investigated with a focus on the necessary requirements such a facility would need in the event of a mobilization. Facility and labor requirements were determined based on the analysis of shipyard data from MARAD's files and on a questionnaire sent to various shipyard executives. A number of shipyard layouts were developed with the final choice being one based on the SWM/IMIP design. The concept uses a land transfer ways to move the ship onto land, right next to the main shop building. Access cuts are made in the ship's side to provide direct access from the ship to the shops. Two versions of the concept were developed and cost estimates were prepared for both. One was for a facility which could use finger piers; the other was for a river location. A list of possible sites for locating the ideal ship repair facility was developed and acquisition options were proposed.
