FSQRA

Abstract

DAMO-ZD, the DCSOPS Technical Advisor, tasked CAA to "do deployment analysis on a 40 knot ship". The ship in question is a proposed new ship design patented by FastShip, Incorporated. Time allowed was less than 1 week, so the project was data gathering, simple comparison of FastShip against a Large Medium Speed Roll on/roll off (LMSR) and model runs to determine impact of a FastShip on the TAA-07 base case deployment. Found no significant value to having one of these FastShips, because other limitations of the ship design/availability negated the minor advantage of greater speed across the Atlantic.
