Book excerpt: 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 [sic], 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.
