Abstract
The U. S. Navy has recognized a need for substantial improvement in the performance and cost effectiveness of ship-to-shore movement of personnel and material. Coupled with this is a desire to provide additional flexibility of operation. These requirements can be achieved through the use of the air cushion vehicle concept. The paper presents the principal characteristics, together with the underlying design and development philosophy, of a 165-ton craft designed to meet the Navy's requirements, which is at present in the construction phase.
