Maritime Prepositioning Force Next
Abstract
The MPF(X) ships will recapitalize the aging BOBO Class maritime prepositioning ships in consideration of evolved force concepts such as Distributed Maritime Operations. The 'Sealift the Nation Needs' report to Congress defines a three-phase Sealift Recapitalization approach: Service Life Extensions, Acquiring Used ships, and new construction. The MPF(X) portion represents the prepositioning new construction aspect of the three-phase sealift recapitalization approach in full consideration of force concepts. USNS BOBO class ships will retire from service beginning in FY 2033.
