Long relegated to the status of airborne bulletin boards, current technological advances in Lighter-Than-Air (LTA) craft have renewed interest in airships for both commercial and military applications. The proposed use of these long endurance patrol craft to support Naval Surface Action Groups has triggered maintenance planning for airship support above the world's oceans. This paper describes a logistically optimal spares distribution technique for maximizing naval airship operational availability.
