ABSTRACT (maximum 200 words) The need for effective operation from the sea while conducting amphibious operations ashore has never been more evident than in today’s modern conflicts. As important as this task is it has not been significantly changed since World War I. Sea Force is an attempt to show how that sea basing, as discussed by the CNO in Sea Power 21, can be accomplished by the year 2020 with reasonable advances in technology. The Total Ship Systems Engineering Program, under the tasking of CNO (N7) through the Wayne E. Meyer Institute of Systems Engineer, undertook the task of designing a system of ships that could be brought together to enable the sea basing of one Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) for an indefinite period of time. The Sea Force design completely supports all of the operational requirements of Ship to Objective Maneuver (STOM), in addition to providing a path for re-supply and method for reconstitution of forces ashore. Sea Force is also designed to be reconfigurable from a warship to a supply ship during a shipyard availability period with minimal effort through modularity. 14.

Established in 1909 as the School of Morine Engineering, as a port of the U.S. Naval Academy, it answered the need for advanced education of naval officers. In 1912 the School of Marine Engineering became the Postgraduate Deportment of the Naval Academy, and the scope of its engineering curri­ cula was broadened to include Ordnance, Naval Construction, and Civil Engineering. After a suspension of operations during World War I, the Deportment resumed operations in 1919 in a separate building on the Naval Academy grounds. Two years later it was officially designated the United States Noval Postgraduate School with a further extension of its curricula scope and growth of its enrollment taking place in the years between the two World Wars. In 1927 the General Line Course was started within the Post­ graduate School to acquaint junior line officers with modern developments taking place in the Navy and to broaden their professional knowledge by means of integrated courses in naval science. World War 11 caused an increase in enrollment from about 125 to over 600 and a tremendous expansion of activity; in contrast to the period of suspension during World War I.
