SECTION C - DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS

The following have been modified:

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

SECTION C

C-1 GENERAL

C-1.1 Mission. A vessel shall serve as host ship for Naval Special Warfare (NSW) and will be based in

Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This vessel will be utilized primarily for training purposes. Specifically, the vessel will be used to launch and recover Dry Combatant Submersibles (DCS), SEAL Delivery Vehicles (SDVs), Dry

Deck Shelter Hanger Training Systems and their supporting surface safety boats, and U.S. Navy Divers. It will also be used for simulated ship attack, training for under hull surveys, and training for anchoring and loitering. The vessel will have berthing and facilities for forty-five (45) personnel in addition to the ship’s crew and shall operate for forty-five (45) days without re-supply. The vessel shall host a mix of the following craft: up to two SEAL Delivery Vehicles (SDV), one Dry Combat Submersible (DCS) or DDS Hanger

Trainer, and support craft including up to two Personal Water Craft (PWC), two Rigid Inflatable Boats

(RIBs) and six Combat Rubber Raiding Craft (CRRC). The vessel shall be able to launch and recover all craft and allow for craft replenishment and limited maintenance. In addition, the vessel will provide equipment stowage, messing, berthing, administrative and operational space, maintenance space, emergency towing, and logistics services of Maritime Security Operations. Vessel facilities are to be available during both day and night time operations. The vessel shall maintain International Association of Classification

(IACS) certification/classification and operate all deck equipment to include cranes, winches, vessel launch and recovery systems, and all refueling evolutions/stations. The vessel shall be used to provide hyperbaric chamber services for emergencies and routine decompression operations, replenishment/minor maintenance support, and personnel support. The vessel shall store flares (in a pyrotechnic Ready Service Locker (RSL)) and gasoline, and shall carry a certified United States Navy (USN) hyperbaric chamber.

C-1.2 Concept of Operations: The vessel will be a support vessel to load out and support up to two primary systems at once (DCS, SDV, DDS Hanger Trainer). A normal primary system load out is comprised of one (1) DCS or (1) DDS Hanger Trainer, and two SDV(s). Prior to launching a system, the vessel shall arrive at the prescribed launch point and establish station keeping. The vessel will display the necessary flags and signals for conducting small boat operations and launching/recovering submersibles. Government will coordinate all griping and stowing for sea of systems and deck gear with the vessel. The vessel will launch two 11m RIBs or CRRCs that will stay waterborne throughout the evolution as safety boats. The vessel operator will coordinate ship's position and navigation conditions with the government’s representative and launch the system to be operated. This may or may not include putting divers in the water for launch and recovery requirements. After launch, the vessel and government will coordinate the vessel’s movement to ensure radio and underwater communications are maintained. The vessel will coordinate with the government representative for recovering the system. Government will coordinate all griping and stowing for sea of systems and deck gear with the vessel. When operations are complete, the vessel shall recover the safety boats

(RIBs/CRRCs), and resume unlimited control of the ship. The vessel shall be able to launch/recover one primary system at a time.

C-1.3 Area of Operations. The vessel will be home ported at Pearl City Peninsula at Pearl Harbor, HI.

The vessel will normally operate in, but not be restricted to, Pearl Harbor, HI, Apra Harbor, Guam, Keyport, WA and the outer islands of Hawaii. The vessel shall be able to operate in a wide range of areas worldwide.

It is intended for the vessel to be on station conducting independent operations in a remote environment or operate at anchor for extended periods. The vessel should be able to make transits via the Panama Canal as needed. The vessel may be reassigned to the U.S. East Coast with 30 days’ notification. Operational control

(OPCON) will be SEAL Delivery Team One (SDVT-1).

C-1.4 Operating Tempo (OPTEMPO).

(1) Schedule (OPTEMPO): 24 hours/day operations required, seven days a week, whether at sea or in port.

(2) Percent of time underway at 12kt transit speed: 30%

(3) Percent of time underway at anchor/loiter (<5 knots): 30%

(4) Percent of time in port: 40% (Up to half of this time may be spent in a port other than homeport).

C-1.5 Operational Support.

Services shall be 24 hour a day support to include but not be limited to the following:

• Launch and recovery of small boats, Divers, RIBs, PWC, DCS, CRRC(s), and SDV.

• Refueling small craft onboard and alongside.

• Logistical support (i.e. messing, berthing, communications, and physical training facilities, etc.)

• At sea transfer of personnel and cargo alongside or astern in up to Sea State 3 conditions. (Hereafter

Sea State will refer to the unit of measure for the Beaufort Scale.)

• Navigation inputs to government furnished equipment (GFE) trackers, plotters, and ancillary equipment.

• INMARSAT communications for ship to shore unclassified communications.

C-1.6 Endurance. The vessel must be capable of supporting at-sea operation for up to 45 days without resupply. In addition, the support ship shall be able to operate in up to and including Sea State 5 conditions in both equatorial and arctic waters. It shall be able to conduct launch and recovery of small boats, Divers, RIBs, PWC, DCS and SDVs in up to Sea State 3 conditions.

C-1.7 Certifications.

The vessel shall be inspected or certified by the USCG under 46 CFR Chapter 1, SubChapter I. At a minimum, the vessel, launch and recovery systems, cranes, weight handling equipment, and unique shipboard storage appliances shall be maintained and shall be certified by either the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) (A1 AMS) or an International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) member society.
