Analysis of Multiple ConceptsShip Alternatives
• Alternatives• Replace current MPS and Aviation Logistics Support Ships (TAVB)
in kind (no seabasing capability)
• Modify existing MPF ships to better achieve MPF(F) missions usingonly internal and external equipment or configuration changes
• Replace existing MPF ships with newly designed ships with rotary-wing/STOVL capable sea base.
• Notes:Ø All: Examine range of logistics throughput capability for each ship
optionØ #3: Rotary-wing aircraft & STOVL basingØ Alternatives beyond current baseline: Examine additional roles for
MPF(F) ships, including JCC(X), T-AH, T-AVB, ESS, MCS(X), AFSB

Analysis of Multiple ConceptsAviation Basing
• For all alternatives that include sea basing of rotary-wing aircraft, examine cost, capability and risk trade-off for basing aircraft on:Ø MPF ships
Ø ATF ships
Ø Supporting CVN
Ø Some combination of these three ship typesØ Ashore
