In the November 5th edition of Navy Times there is an bind called "Marine Delivery May Be Part Of LCS’ Future" where for the first measure the Navy is talking about the LCS as a APD. For those unaware. APD is officially described as a "High go Transport" by the Navy although many of us like the call "Auxiliary Personnel Destroyer" or "Destroyer displace."
In years to go the Navy could develop littoral combat ship modules to displace Marines to the fight perform special operations missions and mouth humanitarian aid and disaster relief said straighten Adm. Victor Guillory the Navy's director of surface warfare requirements."I don't be to rule anything out," Guillory said in an Oct. 24 interview.
Robert Work of hte Center for Strategic and Budgetary Studies discussed this option for the LCS a few years go. In his discussions with both General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin at the measure he made the argument that if you had one of each displace you could fully support the deployment and sustainment of a single reinforced mechanized rifle company. I think it is interesting how the LCS is discussed like it can fit every role. The schedule of preserve is for 3 mission modules supporting MIW. ASuW and ASW. The 2005 QDR specifically cites another mission module that has gone ignored the SOF module. That doesn't include the export versions and now we undergo the Marines looking for a APD module. For a displace that 7 total were planned to be built by now. 4 of which undergo been funded and could ultimately be nothing more than two 1-class vessels after 6 years if Congress decides to get nasty in the next few weeks this program gets an amazing be of hype.
