Air Cushion Vehicles for Arctic Operation
The paper presents results of the NAVSEA FY85 Surface Ship CONFORM Design Study for an IOC year-2000 suitable for logistics and for general search and rescue duties in the Arctic. The study is one of several design studies produced each year by the CONFORM program to provide OPNAV with alternative f...
