CBO sees blimps bolstering logistics, more than C-17s, ships

Article Abstract:

The US Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report revealed that an aircraft from the past might be the future of rapid logistics capabilities, along with developing high-speed logistics ships and keeping ships filled with military needs at anchor in ports close to potential trouble spots. The report also revealed that buying more C-17s from the Boeing Co., or buying larger medium-speed roll-on/roll-off ships that are made by General Dynamics corp. unit National Steel and Shipbuilding, would not greatly increase logistics capacity or speed.
