A study of the maintenance costs and practices on the LST 1179 class ship has been made to determine if a propulsion diagnostic system would result in cost savings to the Navy or other advantages. In the course of this study, a determination of the current propulsion system malfunctions was made and a listing prepared of the necessary sensor measures to detect these malfunctions. Based upon this information, a diagnostic system was proposed and costed. For the LST 1179 ships a simple data system, which measures the trend analysis parameters (plus critical malfunctions), was found to be cost effective. Its cost would be approximately $25,000 per ship per year.
