Next Generation Medium Logistics Ship

Abstract

The Next Generation Logistics Ship (NGLS) is planned to be a new class of ships to augment the traditional Combat Logistics Force (CLF) to enable refueling, rearming, and resupply of Naval assets - afloat and ashore - near contested environments via ship-to-ship operations and ship-to port operations in support of Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO), Littoral Operations in a Contested Environment (LOCE), and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO). Augmenting the traditional CLF, NGLS will provide a flexible, responsive platform to move fuel, personnel, equipment, and supplies between ships, advanced bases, ports, and dispersed nodes of the seabase; sustaining afloat (Surface Action Group) and ashore (Expeditionary Advanced Base) requirements. RDT&E funding will continue to support development of the NGLS ship design(s), specification development, affordability analyses, and definition of ship mission systems leading to Detail Design & Construction award of the lead ship in FY 2026.
