Navy Uses Rapid-Cure Coatings to Preserve Amphibious Ship Well-Decks

摘要

The U.S. Navy's amphibious assault warships comprise the centerpiece of naval expeditionary forces. They are used to embark, transport, and land Marines and their equipment for a variety of warfare missions. To transport personnel and equipment from these warships, the Navy uses air-cushion and landing craft or amphibious vehicles, augmented by helicopters and aircraft distinguished for their vertical takeoff and landing capability. These assault vessels feature a flight deck and a well deck that can be ballasted and deballasted to support landing craft.
