The Offensive Navy Since World War II: How Big and Why - A Brief Summary
July 1, 1989
This research memorandum considers the foundation of post-World War II force levels of the Navy's offensive components: fleet carriers, amphibious lift, and attack submarines. It compares the forces planned versus the actual forces of the postwar era. The force levels of the three components are compared with each other and their time variations examined.

Simulation and Analysis of Flight Deck Operations on an LHA
June 1, 1987
The objective of this document was to develop a model that simulates the interactions between a number of close air support aircraft and helicopters on a flight deck during an amphibious assault. The model is currently configured for operations aboard an LHA Amphibious Assault Ship flight deck with two types of transport helicopters and the AV-8 HARRIER Attack Aircraft. The model application presented here considers the maximum number of AV-8 HARRIERs that could operate effectively with a composite helicopter squadron during the amphibious assault of a Marine Amphibious Unit.
