The objective of this test program was to conduct preliminary scoping tests onboard the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) for the purpose of providing guidance on changes to the ventilation procedures described in the current doctrine. During these tests, smoke generators were used to evaluate the removal-performance from the hangar bay with various door configurations and ventilation conditions. The visibility in the hangar bay was used as the measure of performance. The effect of door status and wind direction/speed was evaluated. Doors that were used included the port and starboard elevator doors, the flight deck ramp door, and the well deck ramp door. The effect of crosswinds and headwinds was evaluated. In addition, the effect of using the well deck supply fans was assessed.
