Army Sets Out to Replace Vietnam War Era Watercraft

摘要

While many Army modernization programs remain in a state of limbo because of tight budgets, the service is proceeding with a program to replace a fleet of aging logistics boats. "Watercraft, because of the fiscal challenges, and where the priorities were, have been neglected," said Zina Kozak-Zachary, the Army's product director of watercraft. The service in July is expected to release a request for proposals for the maneuver support vessel-light, a 100-foot boat designed for intra-theater lift.
