3 Agenda Naval Construction and Engineering at MIT Sea Basing Primer Schedule Rules of Engagement 12 May

4 Naval Construction and Engineering Curriculum at MIT Meets graduate education requirement for Engineering Duty Officer designator and sub-specialty code Program started at MIT in 1901 Two active duty EDs, Professors of the Practice since 1945 Presently, eight USN billets per year Coast Guard and International Navies also attend Greece, Canada, Turkey, Israel, Taiwan, Singapore, others Ocean Engineering Department merged into Mechanical Engineering Department effective 01 Jan May

5 Objectives Naval Construction and Engineering Curriculum at MIT Broad graduate technical education for US Navy, US Coast Guard, and foreign naval officers (professional Naval Engineers) Ship Design A continuum of courses leading to year long total ship design project Technical area concentration - A specific thesis area, e.g., hydrodynamics, structures, acoustics, power engineering Graduates Prepared to direct large-scale ship system programs Future leaders in ship concept formulation, design, acquisition, construction, modernization, maintenance, and industrial support 12 May

6 Naval Construction and Engineering Curriculum at MIT Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May First Year Math review Other subjects Second Year Pro-Sum/ Other subjects Third Year Thesis 12 May

7 Naval Construction and Engineering Curriculum at MIT Hull Geometry Payload Manning Arrangements Seakeeping Survivability Resistance & Powering Weight Structures Cost Stability HM&E 12 May

8 Naval Construction and Engineering Curriculum at MIT Projects in New Construction Naval Ship Design Clean sheet of paper preceding summer and last two semesters Teams of at least two students Must develop and submit: Initial Capabilities Document Design Requirements and plan Concept Exploration Feasibility Study Final Report Projects in Naval Ships Conversion Design Conducted during Intermediate Activities Period (IAP) = January Intensive 4-week course where students convert an existing ship design to meet requirements of a new mission 12 May

9 Sea Basing Theme ing of 13A Projects strongly recommended by SEA05D/DB in May 04 Concept introduced in early June--- students not initially enamored, but saw the light Spent the remainder of summer studying Sea Basing literature Conducted a 2015 capabilities study 12 May

10 Sea Basing Sea Base Advantages Mobility Ability to project power in unexpected places More difficult for adversaries to hit Sovereign US territory Minimal political costs Minimal economic costs Defense Stand-off distance from adversaries Defensive firepower of strike group and littoral platforms 12 May

11 Problem Statement: Sea Basing Design a Family of Ships that will support the CNO s response metric. Provide a base of operations and means to deliver and support elements of the 2015 Marine Expeditionary Brigade, from a non-conus (advance) base to a regional conflict 2000 nm away. The Sea Base will be located nm from shore, with the objective up to 200 nm inland. 12 May

12 Sea Basing Sea Base Troops Heavy Equipment Logistics and Sustainment Support Sea Base Intra-theater Support Fuel Ammo Food Inter-base Transfer Sea Base Base-to-Shore Strike Support Logistics & Reconstitution Command & Control Base-to-Objective 12 May

13 Sea Basing What s in a 2015 Marine Expeditionary Brigade? People ~ 15, 500 Marines 5600 ground combat (Reinforced Infantry Regiment) 5660 air combat (Composite Marine Aircraft Group) 2470 combat support (Brigade Service Support Group) 770 command element Vehicles ~ 3,420 Aircraft ~ May

14 Sea Basing Sea Base does not deliver the MEB to conduct forcible entry operations Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) carries Assault Echelon (AE) Other shipping carries Assault Follow On Echelon (AFOE) Sea Base does provide for the Sea Based Echelon, and Sustained Operations Ashore Echelon (SOAE) 12 May

15 Sea Basing Identified Sea Basing Capability Gaps for Projects: High-Speed Heavy-Lift Joint Logistics Improved Vertical Delivery Littoral Access 12 May

16 Sea Basing CONOPS 12 May

17 Schedule Welcome Professor Abeyaratne Sea Basing in 13A Curriculum - Professor Herbein Seabasing Overview and Challenges Professor Hank Marcus Break Advanced Covert Collection & Employment Submarine System Intermediate Transfer Ship (ITS) Luncheon Buffet Intermediate Transfer Ship [Conversion] Helicopter Operations Support Ship [Conversion] High Speed Connector (HSC) Break Sea Base Assault Connector (SeaBAC) Sea Base Maintenance Ship [Conversion] MIT Sea Basing Solutions - Professor Herbein Reception w/thesis Poster Session Dinner. Speaker: RADM John Kelly 12 May

18 Rules of Engagement No Classified information or discussions Clarification questions only during presentations Please speak loud enough so all can hear Arbitration of question period rests with me Thesis abstracts provided in the program, start germinating questions on those, too 12 May

19 NavArch 101 English or Metric? tun cask for shipping wine in European sailing vessels Weight of wine was 2240 lbs, occupying 60 cu ft English established it as a standard and changed spelling to ton, which we now use as the definition of a long ton A metric ton (tonne) is 1000 kilograms One LT = 1016 kilograms For an 80,000 LT ship, you will be off by LT if you say tonnes, or 1.57% error Conclusion---for conversational purposes, a lton is a tonne 12 May
