LPD Flight II Design & Total Integration

Abstract

LPD 17 Flight II will replace LSD-41 Class ships and LSD-49 Class ships for embark, transport, control, insert, sustainment, and extract of Marine Air-Ground Task Force elements and supporting forces by helicopters, landing craft, and amphibious vehicles. Cost reduction and affordability efforts are required to continue pursuing affordability initiatives. This program element includes the planning & documentation for Live Fire Test & Evaluation (LFT&E) and Operational Evaluation (OPEVAL) tests required for the lead ship LPD 30. LPD 28, LPD 29, LPD 30 will be used to conduct these test events as they incorporate LPD Flight II changes prior to the lead Flight II Ship. LPD FLT II were planned to replace remaining LSD ships as the ships are eventually removed from service and decommissioned. The LSD's will reach end of service life (ESL) in FY28.
