Acquisition of the AOE-6 Fast Combat Support Ship.

Abstract

The AOE-6 Class Fast Combat Support Ship's mission is to receive petroleum products, ammunition, and provisions from shuttle ships and to redistribute these items to carrier battle groups. The AOE-6 Program is managed by the Auxiliary and Special Mission Ship Acquisition Program Office of the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). In January 1987, the Navy awarded a $290 million fixed-price-incentive contract to the National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO) for the detailed design and construction of the first AOE-6 Class ship. The Navy exercised options for a second and third ship in November 1988 and December 1989, respectively. The Navy planned a competition for a fourth and final ship in FY 1992. * *
