INTRODUCTION

PURPOSE

The purpose of this effort is to examine the ship loading

characteristics of amphibious ships and determine the capacitiesof the different classes for loading troops, vehicles, cargo,

helicopters, boats and bulk fuel (fingerprints). Since amphibi-

ous ships can be loaded in different ways that result in di"

ferent fingerprints, ship capacity information is developed toshow the different loading options and the corresponding finger-

prints for each class. information is presented in the form of

an amphibious ship capacity handbook for Ise by those irnolved~in ship acquisition or shi.p allocation decisions. it is not

intended to replace those documents used in embarkation plan-

ning.

I'-I APPROACH

The basic source document for this effort is the Shio Load-

-r ing Characteristics Pamphlet (SLCP) for each individual shin.

Since the SLCP is prepared by each ship after commissioning,

there is not yet an SLCP for the LSD-41 Class. Further, SLCPs

have not been completed for LHAs 3, 4 and 5. Information on

the LSD-41 class is taken from design olans, and information

[ on LHAs 3, 4 and 5 is taken from the SLOP for LHA-i.

F Ship Loading Characteristics Phamphlets are designed to

snow what spaces within the ship are available for what speci:c

types of cargo, i.e., troops, vehicles, helicopters, etc.; andwhat quantities can be handled. Details on deck layout, deck

Sstrengths, overhead clearances, hatch sizes, boom/crane

ILI,

capacities and other factors pertinent to ship loading are

provided by the SLCPs. These documents are used to determine

the various ways that the different classes can be loaded (load- jing options) and to derive the specific fingerprint capacities

for each loading option. Loading options are presented for

LPH-2, LiHA-1, LPD-I, LD-4, LSD-28, LSD-36, LSD-41, LST-1179

and 1KA-113 classes of ships.

All loading options used are those which are considered

reasonable for use in amphibious assault operations over a range

of environmental conditions. Loading options that might beused for administrative loads or only under ideal environmental

conditions are nt considered. The first loading option pre-

sented for each class of ships is the most appropriate option

considering the characteristics of the class and overall am-

phibious lift requirements.

ASSUMPTIONS

For purposes of this study the lead ship is assumed to be

representative of the entire class. The boat and aircraft lift

capacities within the classes are consistent and gross ship lift

capacities are similar. However, the individual SLCPs indicate

substantial variations in trocp, vehicle, cargo and bulk POL

capacities within the ship classes. The following additional

assumptions are used:

3eneral Assumptions

- Landing craft in wet well decks are preloaded with

vehicles. (Landing craft vehicle capacity with 75,

broken stow factor applied is included in ship's

vehic e capacity.) - u e a

- Broken stow factor of 1 s ue a

stowage spaces except landing craft.

2

4 ~1_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

---- -~,-

1- f

Broken stow factor of 75;5 is used "or all cargo

stowage spaces.

Ship's organic boats other than LCIM-6s and LCM-Ssare not counted against the landing craft lift

equipment.

- Mixes of landing craft used in loading options are

influenced by landing craft inventory.

- Vehicles stowed under mezzanine decks in LSDs are

protected from salt water immersion by providing a

50 ft safety space between vehicles and landing

craft. (No safety space is used between vehicles

and amphibious vehicles of LCAC.)I L-Ts are loaded in groups of 12 or 24 to support 1

I or 2 rifle companies.

II * Specific Assumptions

f i - LCACs will be designed and constructed so that 2

LCACs will fit inl wet wells of LD-1' and 4 classships. (Some modification to the ships may be re-

quired to achieve the 2 LCAC lift.)

- Cargo is loaded in LHA stowage spaces using the 75-

broken stow factor fas in all other ships) even though

the LHA cargo spaces are designed for the stowage of

specific numbers of oallets.

7 - LST-1179 class ships are loaded to permit sideload-

ing causeways and helicopter operations.

M- LH and LH'. aircraft assignments are based on typical

composite squadrons including UH-i D/H, CH-46D and

CE-53D/E aircraft.

CONTENTS

This handbook contains nine amphibious ship capacity book-

lets, one for each of nine classes of ships. Each booklet con-

tains two pages of ship capacity information of the ship class,

plus one to two pages for each of the several loading options.

For each loading option, information is provided on troops,

vehicles, cargo, bulk ?OL, landing craft, amphibious vehicles,

and helicopters. This information is given for each deck, and

totaled for each shiD. The specific number of loading options

varies with the ship type. Addendum A provides data on the I

average capacity by fingerprint category for each class of ships.

Addendum B provides information on landing craft character-

ist.ics. Addendum C provides a list of abbreviations.

Io SHIP'S LOADING CHARACTERISTICS

The LPD-I is designed to load, transport and land troops,

vehicles, and equipment in amphibious operations. The ship has

a helicopter deck, upper and lower vehicle stowage decks and a

I " well deck. It is a general purpose amphibious ship with sub-

stantial lift capacities for troops, vehicles, landing craft,

dry cargo and bulk fuel plus a limited capacity for helicopters.

Materials Handling Equipment (MHE) includes one 30-ton B&A

- crane, an overhead b'lidge crane system, vertical pallet con-

Main veyors and a cargo elevator. Vehicles can move about the vari-

ous decks by a series of power operated ramps. Troops, vehi-

cies and equipment can be loaded/offloaded by helicopter and

27

4P-I7

, tva

landing craft simultaneously. The well deck of the LPD-l can

accommodate all types of landing craft (boats and amphibians)

currently in the amphibious forces inventory. It is antici-

pated that the LPD will be able to accommodate two Landing Craft

Air Cushion (LCAC); however, some modification to the ramp may

I- I be required to achieve this.

The LSD-28 is designed to load and transport landing craft

and vehicles with attendant personnel in amphibious operations.

Major spaces for carrying vehicles and/or cargo or conducting

I helicopter operations are the helicopter platform, the super

deck, the mezzanine deck and the wet well deck. The mezzanine

deck, super deck and helicopter platform are constructed so

that they can be removed and stored ashore should assigned op-

_0 erations dictate. Mezzanine decks are frequently removed but

super-decks and helicopter platforms are rarely removed. Vehi-

cles may be loaded aboard via landing craft into the wet well

via ramps to other decks for storage. The well deck is capable

of accommodating all types of landing craft and amphibian

vehicles currently in the amphibious forces inventory. Vehicles

stored in the well deck should be at least 50 ft forward of any

landing craft to minimize potential salt water immersion dur-

ing ballasting operations. There are no designated general

cargo stowage spaces aboard the LSD-26; however, cargo with

proper preservation may be stowed on the mezzanine deck. Two

magazines are available for storing troop ammunition.

SUPER HELD

INBOARD PROFILE DISPLAYING WELL DECK, MEZZANINE DECK, HELO DECK,

SUPER DECK AND CONNECTING RAMPS


The LSD-36 is designed to load and transport landing craft

and vehicles with attendant personnel in amphibious operations.

Major spaces for carrying vehicles and/or cargo or conducting

helicopter operations are the helicopter platform, the saper-

deck, the mezzanine deck and the wet well deck. The mezzanine

deck, superdeck and helicopter platform are constructed so that

2they can be removed and stored ashore should assigned operations

dictate. Mezzanine decks are frequently removed but superdecks

and helicopter platforms are rarely removed. Vehicles may be

loaded via landing craft into the wet well decks or lifted

abcard by crane to the superdeck for transit via ramps, to other

decks for stowage. This ship has an LCM-6 which is organic

and stowed on the wingwall forward of the superdeck. The well

79 i

deck is capable of accommodating all types of landing craft and

amhbian vehicles currently in the amphibious forces inven-

tory. Vehicles stowed in the well deck should be at least 50

fforward of any landing craft to minimize potential salt-

water immersion during ballasting operations. There are no

designated general cargo stowage spaces aboard the LSD-36;

however, cargo with proper preservation may be stowed on the

mezzanine deck. Two magazines, are available for stowing troop

ammunition.

INBOARD PROFILE DISPLAYING MAIN DECK, TANK DECK.. 01=M.72 TAW GATE


The ST- !l9 is designed to load, transport Pnd land tank

and other combat vehicles with their attendant personnel during

amphibious operations. The primary method for embarkation/

debarkation of vehicles is over the bow ran.p. The ship is

equipped with a stern gate for launching amphibian vehicles zi

while underway or at anchor. Under favorable weather conditions, Alanding craft may marry to the stern gate to load and offload.

The tank deck is equipped with turntables, one forward and one

aft. The turntables provide a means of turning vehicles with-

in the tank deck. The LST does not usually transport large

ouantities of palletized cargo, but it is equipped with two

10-ton cargo booms. The LST, the principle transporter of pon-

toon causecays, can carry up to 4 side-loaded pontoon causeways.
