A total ship for the total mission

Article Abstract:

Avondale Industries pres Albert L Bossier Jr cited his firm's contribution to the development of the LPD 17 amphibious assault ship. The design and development of the LPD is a significant departure from the Navy's shipbuilding programs. Its development was directed towards the 'total ship ownership' concept which considered how ships will be supported, maintained and provided with the next-generation weapons technologies and systems for their 40-year service lives.
