This report reviews the capabilities of the Navy's full-scale damage control RDT&E platform, ex-USS Shadwell (LSD-15). The ex-USS Shadwell serves as the ultimate test platform in the development of fire fighting agents, DC systems, predictive models and technology stemming from basic and theoretical concepts developed through naval research. As a complete Navy platform, it enables consolidation of research developments from laboratories, system commands, industry and the fleet to assess technology and DC doctrine in a realistic shipboard damage environment. Thus, the ex-USS Shadwell provides a very versatile and realistic test bed for finalizing the fruits of research and development that are on their way to the fleet.
