A Mid-Term Fast Sealift Technology Development Program producibility study was undertaken by the Manufacturing Systems Division (Code 125) of the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Carderock Division, for the Naval Sea Systems Command Computer Aided Engineering Division, Ship Design and Engineering Directorate, SEA 507. The producibility project team was initially tasked to identify and evaluate possible design improvements with regard to their potential impact upon the cost of construction for the Baseline (BL) rough-order-of-magnitude (ROM) geared-diesel option. This particular design variant is a 30-kt twin screw, 289m (948 ft) roll-on/roll-off (RO/RO) vessel with four 18 PC4.2V medium speed diesels producing 85,619 kilowatts (114,817 hp) of installed power. The construction cost estimate developed by NAVSEA for this particular design variant is $385 million per ship.
