The Navy is engaged in a program to define and demonstrate Deployable Waterfronts that will provide worldwide logistics support for our forces in CONUS and overseas. These deployable waterfront facilities would serve such functions as: (a) Strategic Sealift Ship unloading at fixed ports or Logistics Over the Shore (LOTS) sites, (b)Advanced base pre-positioning, (c) Advanced Logistics Support Bases for fleet replenishment, and (d) Relocatable piers for homeporting and for Strategic Sealift Support Facilities restoration in the event of damage. Homeported and pre-positioned platforms could also provide some peacetime cost offsetting advantages over present support systems. An investigation was conducted into the use and availability of heavy lift semi-submersibles ships for transporting deployable waterfronts.
