Amphibious ships normally conduct operations near land. What features in design enhance survivability in such an environment?
A33. Since these amphibious transport docks will operate in the littoral, a potentially more dangerous area than the open ocean, self-defense and survivability were crucial elements that influenced ship design: · The LPD 17 Class’ profile is distinctive, reducing potential detection through a streamlined design, minimally exposed topside equipment, a boat valley instead of a boat deck, and such technology as the Advanced Enclosed Masts/Sensors (AEM/S) system. · Other survivability enhancements incorporated into the ship’s design include a hardened structure, advanced degaussing to reduce magnetic signature, and optimum separation of redundant systems, where if one part of the ship sustains damage, vital systems are ensured continuity. · Defense against a chemical-biological-radiation attack calls for a four-zone Collective Protection System with decontamination stations to protect personnel. · Damage Control (DC) Central is collocated with Engineering Control to provide continuity of d
