AN IMPROVED LASHING AND LAUNCHING SYSTEM FOR THE 3 X 15 PONTOON CAUSEWAY.

Abstract

A lashing-launching system designed to reduce the impact damage to pontoon causeways side-launched from LSTs and to reduce the lashing equipment weight and assembly effort was developed and tested. The developed system is adaptable for use on all classes of LST. Engineering testing by the field forces is recommended. (Author)
