- Description
- T-AH 19 Class Alternatives Feasibility Study for Personnel Launch and Recovery 1.Conduct a shipcheck of the USNS COMFORT to gather the necessary information to conduct an investigation of the feasibility of the following launch and recovery alternatives (The investigation shall include the following: 1. Regulatory Impact; 2. Cost Impact; 3. Ship System and Structural Impact; and 4. Weight and Stability Impact) (Note: Boats or RHIBs shall be assumed loaded with operating personnel and patients during the recovery operation): 1.1.Remove two lifeboat/davit sets and replace in the same location with new rescue boat davits capable of lowering and retrieving new 10m RHIB rescue boats. 1.2.Remove two lifeboat/davit sets and replace in the same location with new lifeboat gravity davits capable of lowering and retrieving the existing U Boats. 1.3.Add new hinged rescue boat davits capable of lowering and retrieving the existing U Boats in the same location where the U Boats are currently stowed. Note: The U Boats are currently stowed P&S adjacent to the aft, old, pre-conversion deckhouse. 1.4.Add new lifeboat gravity davits capable of lowering and retrieving the existing U Boats in the same location where the U boats are currently stowed. 1.5.Reinforce/Redesign the existing embarkation platform to permit it to safely operate in SS 4. This assumes U Boat launch and retrieval using the new crane aft. 1.6.Install a hydraulically operated, hinged, recessed platform that opens near the waterline similar to the platforms on cruise ships that embark passengers to cruise tenders. This assumes U Boat launch and retrieval using the new crane aft. 1.7.Install a Vehicle Launch and Recovery System similar to the system on board the Littoral Combat ships using a 10 m RHIB. System would be built into the hull with hinged, hydraulically actuated, flush WT closures. 1.8.Install a wet dock similar to a system on an amphibious assault ship suitable for either U Boats or 10 m RHIBs. System would be built into the hull with hinged, hydraulically actuated, closures. Variations could include WT closures to permit emptying the well when not used, or non-tight, swash closures where the well would remain wet all the time. 1.9.Install a Modular U Boat Floating Dock used with the existing embarkation platform. The U boat bow would rest on this dock system, but the stern would still be afloat. The modular pieces would be partly submerged with water ballasting and be heavy enough when assembled to offer some resistance to the wave action and make it easier for passengers to board the platform. GFI sketch to be provided to bidder’s upon request. 2.Conduct a literature search and market survey for other potential alternatives, including the Contractor’s own ideas. 3.Prepare a report summarizing the findings with recommendations.
