Shipyards propose sea base solutions

摘要

Senior officials from the two major US shipbuilders — General Dynamics (GD) and Northrop Grumman — have begun to propose options to the US Navy to meet the service's sea-basing requirements. However, rather than follow the lead in pursuing a new, single Maritime Preposition Force-Future (MPF-F) ship as the sea-base's centre, both shipbuilders are proposing spreading the task among several vessels, including variants of those in service.
