Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review was conducted of the capabilities of the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF) to meet contingency shipping requirements. This fleet is the only source of reserve dry cargo shipping available during a military or commercial shipping crisis. During the past two decades the fleet performed satisfactorily but Department of Defense (DOD) requirements now depend on faster reactivation. Findings: The number of fleet vessels has been reduced and ships are not kept in condition for activation in time to meet DOD needs. A program has been sponsored to improve 30 Victory ships for faster readiness to satisfy immediate needs. Conclusions: Greater reliance on NDRF to respond to future contingencies will require additional funding. Recommendations: Review the fleet on a continuing basis to assure timely activation; consolidate data into a single NDRF profile; identify spare parts sources and maintain an inventory system; and develop long-range plans for acquiring ships.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study analyzes the problems associated with the activation of a substantial number of ships from the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF), this country's sole source of reserve shipping. After a review of past NDRF contributions, a discussion of its present capability is presented. Five major areas which would serve to constrain future activation efforts are then examined, including fleet material condition and drydock availability. Next, these areas are analyzed in the context of a non-mobilization scenario in an attempt to determine the response capability of the NDRF. In the final chapter, conclusions are drawn regarding the NDRF's ability to respond to a fast-breaking contingency in the foreseeable future. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The GAO has reviewed the National Defense Reserve Fleet's viability as a national sealift asset and evaluated several aspects of the Maritime Administration's management of the fleet. This report addresses the changing character of this fleet and its contribution in deploying and sustaining U.S. troops during the recent Persian Gulf crisis. Also addressed are the revenue implications of the domestic and foreign scrapping of Reserve Fleet ships and the administration's maintenance and management practices with respect to the fleet's older, less-ready portion. We present matters for congressional consideration and recommendations whose aim is to ensure that the Reserve Fleet continues to be a viable sealift asset.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1991, provides a major analysis of the prelude to the US’s Cold War maritime strategy, showing how NATO’s maritime forces were organised in the period. It examines how the United States Navy and allied navies, particularly the Royal Navy, were incorporated into the Alliance’s nuclear and conventional deterrent forces. It looks at the structure of the main naval commands, the growth of Soviet maritime forces and the impact of the flexible response strategy on NATO’s naval posture in the 1970s. Drawing upon many declassified documents, this account fills an important gap in postwar literature on American seapower and its relation to European security. It also addresses important aspects of NATO strategy and organisation.
