MRTFB Marine Vessels

Abstract

This project is a new start FY17 program which funds the overhauls and preventative maintenance of the 23 Major Range and Test Facility Base marine vessels located at Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Point Mugu, CA, Pacific Missile Range Facility, Honolulu, HI, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Keyport, WA, Naval Air Warfare Aircraft Division, Patuxent River, MD, and Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center. These vessels are used to launch and recover torpedoes, acoustic systems, and other weapons, provide range surveillance and clearance, and can be configured as a target. Overhauls are required to operate ships over 300 tons overseas in compliance with American Bureau of Shipping "Load Line" certification requirements. Major preventative maintenance requiring shipyard support is also performed during these periods to mitigate risks of failures.
