Use of Heavy Lift Ships as Modular Casualty Receiving Ships
2007
Jurkiewicz, David
The purpose of this report is to research and develop alternative uses for commercially viable heavy lift ships to employ as modular casualty receiving ships (MCRS). The concept revolves around a standard field hospital (FH) constructed or floated onto the deck of a commercially viable heavy lift ship for rapid deployment. Doing so eliminates the need for the U.S. Navy to construct or purchase a heavy lift ship, but rather lease any commercially viable heavy lift ship for a relatively short period of time. This concept is adaptable to any commercial heavy lift vessel configuration, and the feasibility of the proposed design will be shown through 3-D computer aided design software as well as space and weight analyses focusing on three different commercial heavy lift vessels.
