What Do AOEs Do When They Are Deployed
May 1, 2000
To better understand the utility of AOEs in peacetime, we wanted to learn how much business they do as CVBG station ships and who their customers are during forward deployment. To that end, in 1996 we asked the Navy to have deploying AOEs record their underway replenishment (UNREP) data and send it to CNA. We supplemented those data with similar AOE and substitute CVBG station ship data. This report documents the UNREP activity of the AOEs (and substitute CVBG station ships) when they are deployed. (It doesn't reflect the total logistics support Navy combatants receive from all sources.)

Challenge Athena II Analysis Results: EUCOM/CENTCOM Deployment of George Washington Battle Group
August 1, 1995
Desert Storm highlighted the need to improve our capability to transmit large volumes of digital imagery to afloat commanders. Project Challenge Athena I demonstrated the usefulness of commercial wideband satellites for delivering primary imagery products to an afloat unit. Project Challenge Athena II extended the concept to an operational environment. This demonstration used a duplex, high-volume commercial satellite to provide imagery and other services to the GEORGE WASHINGTON Battle Group during its 1994 Mediterranean/Persian Gulf deployment. This annotated briefing presents the results from Challenge Athena II.

Port of Haifa Study: Summary Report
May 1, 1993
The Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 1992 directed the Secretary of the Navy to study 'the costs of improving the Port of Haifa, Israel, and facilities in the immediate vicinity, to accommodate the full complement of services required for the maintenance, repair, and associated tasks needed to support a carrier battle group.' The Secretary of the Navy asked the Center for Naval Analyses to conduct the study. He asked that we address the needs of rotationally deployed naval forces in the U.S. Sixth Fleet. We did not address homeporting in Haifa. We assumed that the Navy would continue to maintain self-sufficiency of its deployed forces. The study addresses: (1) the needs of the Sixth Fleet, including carrier battle groups when they operate or visit ports in the eastern Mediterranean; (2) Haifa's capabilities to meet the Fleet's support demands; and (3) upgrades to services that would improve overall support to the Fleet. This report summarizes our findings and conclusions. We provide the data and analysis that support these conclusions in three separate documents, each corresponding to a different category of support -- harbor services, ship maintenance, and logistics support.

Port of Haifa Study: Harbor Services
May 1, 1993
The Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 1992 directed the Secretary of the Navy to study 'the costs of improving the Port of Haifa, Israel, and facilities in the immediate vicinity, to accommodate the full complement of services required for the maintenance, repairs, and associated tasks needed to support a carrier battle group.' The Secretary of the Navy tasked the Center for Naval Analyses to conduct the study. He asked that we address rotationally deployed naval forces to the U.S. Sixth Fleet. We did not address homeporting in Haifa. We assumed that the Navy would continue to maintain its self-sufficiency of deployed forces. We have published the results of our study in separate documents -- one each on harbor services, ship maintenance, and logistics support, plus a summary report. This research memorandum addresses the harbor services portion of the support provided to ships visiting Haifa. Our work was supported by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Atlantic Division.

Port of Haifa Study: Ship Maintenance
May 1, 1993
The Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 1992 directed the Secretary of the Navy to study 'the costs of improving the Port of Haifa, Israel, and facilities in the immediate vicinity, to accommodate the full complement of services required for the maintenance, repair, and associated tasks needed to support a carrier battle group.' The Secretary of the Navy tasked the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) to conduct the study. He asked that we address rotationally deployed naval forces to the U.S. Sixth Fleet. This study did not address homeporting in Haifa. We assumed that the Navy would continue to maintain its self-sufficiency. The results of the study as a whole are being published in three parts plus a summary. The parts are harbor services, ship maintenance, and logistics support. This paper summarizes the research on maintenance. CNA was supported in its maintenance research by the NAVSEA Shipbuilding Support Office in Philadelphia, and much of the material in this paper was drawn from their report.

A Comparison of Long-Range Bombers and Naval Forces
December 1, 1991
This information memorandum examines the basic issues involved in comparing long range bombers and naval forces and makes some simple quantitative comparisons between the B-2 bomber and the proposed A-X aircraft in cases where they compete head to head.
