Worldwide Equipment Guide Chapter 1: Littoral Systems
Dec 2016 Worldwide Equipment Guide Chapter 1: Littoral Systems TRADOC G-2 ACE Threats Integration Ft. Leavenworth, KS Distribution Statement: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Worldwide Equipment Guide Chapter 1: Littoral This chapter focuses on vessels for use in littoral ("near the shore") operations. Littoral activities include the following: - "brown water" naval operations in coastal waters (out to as far as 200+ km from shore), - amphibious landing operations or port entry (opposed and unopposed), - coastal defense actions (including patrols, engaging enemy, and denying entry) - operations in inland waterways (rivers, lakes, etc), and - actions in large marshy or swampy areas. There is no set distance for “brown water.” Littoral range is highly dependent on specific geography at any point along a coast. Littoral operations can be highly risky. Forces moving in water are often challenged by nature and must move at a slow pace while exposed to enemy observation and fires. Thus littoral forces will employ equipment best suited for well-planned operations with speed, coordination, and combined arms support. Littoral forces will employ a mix of conventional forces, specialized (naval, air, and ground) forces and equipment, and civilian equipment which can be acquired or recruited for the effort. Each type of action may require a different mix of equipment to deal with challenges of terrain, vulnerability, and enemy capabilities. Coastal water operations can utilize naval vessels that can operate in blue water. Naval battle groups for deep water also operate in littoral waters. Submarines and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) systems conduct missions in littoral waters. But challenges of shallow waters and shoreline threats also require use of smaller fast-attack boats, patrol craft, cutters, etc. -

It also analyzes the main maintenance activities to ensure their safe operation. Key words: turbine, bearing, maintenance, vibration. INTRODUCTION The bearings design and location should result in The naval gas turbines were and are used in a longer in service, reliability and economic propulsion plants on military ships. As time goes efficiency. To reach this benchmark must consider the applied research in the field of naval it showed the following factors: that gas turbines can be used in propulsion - load and speed; installations in combination with other gas - working temperature; turbines,or combined with diesel engines or steam - lubrication; turbines which can be equipped comercial ships - shaft location; also, like fast transient passenger or cargo ships, - service time; LNG ships (where in combination with steam - assembly/disassembly; turbines, gas turbines have developed a very - noise; good yield reported at fuel consumption and - environmental conditions. -
China's and Russia's Naval Modernizations Programs and The
Troubled Waters: China’s and Russia’s Naval Modernizations Programs and the Causes of Offensive Naval Arms Race Heng “Amber” Qin Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Prerequisite for Honors in Political Science under the advisement of Stacie Goddard April 2018 © Heng “Amber” Qin Acknowledgements This thesis project is borne out of a long-time, nagging feeling that something is not quite right in the current mainstream Western perception about China and Russia. This nagging feeling stems largely from the tension and inconsistencies that I see between the Chinese and Russian narratives of victimization and the U.S. narrative of the two states’ aggressive intentions. Having lived in all three countries, I felt a personal duty and obligation to set the record right. To that end, I would like to thank, first and foremost, my major and thesis advisor, Professor Stacie Goddard: Thank you for your humor, patient guidance and continued encouragement throughout this thesis project while I channeled my muddled thoughts into something of broader theoretical implications and higher academic standards. Thank you, also, for your exemplary scholarship that inspired my pursuit of international security, and for your mentorship over the years as I try to forge my own path in this field. I would also like to thank Professor Paul MacDonald: Your World Politics and Leadership in Public Policy classes first sparked my interests in political science and international relations. I wrote one of my first international relations papers for your class on the cult of the offensive, and I can now say that my time at Wellesley has come full circle. -
