A Proposed Criterion for Launch Ramp Availability

Abstract

The project under which the present report was produced has as an objective the development of methods for the evaluation and comparison of stem-launch and side-launch systems for small boat deployment from USCG cutters. A major difference in the two systems is the presence of a stem launch and retrieval ramp. Under some sea and operational conditions the available water depth over the outboard end of a stem ramp may become limiting to the operation. The objective of the work to be summarized was the development of new criteria for the evaluation of the ramp availability to launch and retrieval operation.
