Military Sealift Command (MSC) introduced its new Dry Cargo and Ammunition Ship (T-AKE) in June 2006, to replace its retiring ammunition and fast combat stores supply ships. MSC seeks new ways to use T-AKEs, fleet replenishment oilers, and fast combat support ships to better support the U.S. Navy. We evaluate two alternate ways to manage these ships, one where each ship operates under a particular "fleet ownership," and another where these ships are "globally allocated," serving any fleet customer as needed worldwide. We introduce an optimization-based scheduling tool, and use it to evaluate an expository 181-day peacetime scenario. We track daily inventories of 13 battle groups - carrier strike groups, expeditionary strike groups, surface strike groups, and a littoral combat ship squadron - to gain insight into how to best employ CLF ships. We determine that, in our scenario, global allocation provides significantly better service to fleet customers.

Motions and stability of a typical B.C. fishing vessel were experimentally and numerically investigated in a longitudinal seaway condition. The experimental model was self-propelled, radio-controlled and equipped with an on-board data acquisition system. Pitch, roll, yaw, surge, and heave responses to regular waves of predetermined frequencies and amplitudes generated along a 220-ft model basin were obtained. Different displacement conditions and GM configurations were tested. The numerical model for the dynamic analysis of the fishing vessel motions has been implemented using strip theory. A computer program was developed to study the nonlinear motions of the vessel. The velocity dependent coupling terms, responsible for a major part of the nonlinear behavior, were included. A time dependent component analysis of the roll damping has been performed. Regular linear and nonlinear waves were used. A parametric study of the fishing vessel stability has been carried out by considering its dynamic response in waves of varying characteristics. Unstable behaviour was found to be closely related to waves of length of similar magnitude to the ship length. The effects of wave amplitude and rudder usage were found to be of capital importance in the capsizing process. Experimental and numerical results showed good agreement. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Mechanical Engineering, Department of / Graduate
