The Navy has been exploring the following four options to increase sealift capabilities: Option A: Buying or chartering existing roll-on/roll-off ships that meet desired military configurations (speed, cargo carrying capability, and size); Option B: Building less-capable but militarily useful ships and chartering them to commercial operators during peacetime; Option C: Designing and building completely new roll-on/roll-off ships; and Option D: Buying existing ships and converting them to the desired configuration.
