This study examines a proposal for reducing the operating costs of the Mobile Logistic Support Force by transferring destroyer tenders and repair ships to the Military Sealift Command (MSC). The concept assumes that the ships would be operated and maintained by U.S. Civil Service Marine personnel, while responsibility for intermediate maintenance activities and most other support services would be retained by military personnel assigned to embarked military departments. The study focuses on a case example of a GOMPERS class destroyer tender operating in the Atlantic Fleet. (Author)
