Littoral Combat Ships: Relating Performance to Mission Package Inventories, Homeports, and Installation Sites

by Brien Alkire, Lisa Dolan, John Birkler

Alkire et al. provide a clear understanding of the operational, logistics, and cost trade-offs between three interdependent elements of the Navy's Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program: the number of LCSs in the fleet, the number of mission packages that those LCSs would require in order to perform a range of missions, and the number and locations of LCS homeports and mission package installation sites.
