T-ATS Ship Concept Development

Abstract

T-ATS Design - Recapitalizes the existing T-ATF 166 Fleet Tug and T-ARS 50 Salvage Ship Classes with a common hull Towing, Salvage and Rescue Ship (T-ATS) to support Fleet operations. The T-ATF Fleet Tugs perform towing at sea, salvage, and diving operations; act as a support ship for portable deep-diving equipment and submarine rescue operations; provide fire-fighting assistance; and perform oil spill pollution abatement. The T-ARS Salvage Ships perform combat salvage, lifting, emergency repair, and rescue towing of combatant or support ships damaged, stranded, scuttled, distressed, or abandoned at sea to repair yards or safe havens. Funding supports Ship Concept Development and Test & Evaluation (T&E) for future tug, salvage, and rescue mission capabilities.
