The Merchant Ship Naval Augmentation Program(MSNAP) is a research and development program. It supports a procurement plan whereby merchant ships will be modified to allow rapid installation of modular or standardized underway replenishment(UNREP) equipment such as the Standard Tensioned Replenishment Alongside Method(STREAM) gear delivery system or fuel transfer station gear. MSNAP gear enables merchant ships to operate as naval auxiliary UNREP ships to conduct consolidation operations and limited direct replenishment of combatant ships. This memorandum describes the MSNAP demonstrations that were performed in 1981 and 1985 and discusses the status of MSNAP funding, planned ship modifications, and ship manning issues.
