Analysis of Manning Decisions and Concepts Utilized for the FFG-7 Class Ship.

Abstract

The FFG-7 Class ship acquisition program began in 1970 and is scheduled to include more than 50 hulls, or about 20 percent of the Navy's surface ships, upon completion of the project in 1988. This thesis reviews the chronology of the FFG-7 Class and analyzes some of the major historical events in its development in an attempt to discover the reasons for increased manning and accommodation requirements. Analysis showed weaknesses in the manpower requirements determination process and in the coordination of ship acquisition managers with manpower planners and fleet units. Recommendations are presented to improve the ship manpower documentation (SMD) program and coordination of manpower planning, operational, and project design functions in the surface ship acquisition process.
