Ny type skibe til den amerikanske flåde

Den amerikanske flåde har taget levering af USNS Montford Point, der tilhører en helt ny skibstype - en såkaldt Mobile Landing Platforme (MLP). Skibet er det første af to søsterskibe, og flåden har derudover option på yderligere et skib af samme type.

USNS Montford Point vil indgå i The Maritime Prepositioning Force Squadrons, enheder som amerikanerne har placeret på strategiske steder i verden, for at muliggøre en hurtig reaktion i en krisesituation.

Skibene vil, i følge den amerikanske flåde, ændre den måde de fremskudte flådestyrker opererer på. MLPerne vil blive brugt af LMSR’er og T-AKE’er til at losse udstyr, som LCACer eller tilsvarende fartøjer så kan fragte videre ind til land.

De nye skibe er 233 meter lange, 50 meters brede og stikker 12 meter. Tonnagen ligger på omkring 80.000 DWT.

Length: 233 m Beam: 50 m Speed: 15 knots Range: 9,500 nautical miles (17,600 km)

Boats and landing craft carried: 3 LCAC
