 | A systems engineering approach to the development of a warship optimized for the deterrence of regional conflicts in littoral waters is presented, followed by a description of the preliminary design of the ship shown by analysis to be most effective. The requirement for the project reported was to develop a ship which would be effective in deterring regional wars among third world nations; in hampering the military effectiveness of the ... |

 | A field monitoring study of the Fisherman's Wharf breakwater was conducted as part of the Monitoring Completed Coastal Projects (MCCP) program. The Corps project referred to as the 'Fisherman's Wharf breakwater' in this report consists of a combination of three discrete reinforced concrete sheet- pile structures. The main detached breakwater is an impermeable vertical wall structure with additional support provided by batter piles. The other two structural elements are similar, ... |

| This paper will analyze World War II U-boat operations against Allied sealift with focus on the period from May 1943 to the end of the war. It will show the relevance of the operational and strategic decisions of this historical campaign to the challenges of today's potential regional conflicts. In 1943, Allied technological innovations and convoy employment precipitated a decline in U-boat successes and changes to the final portion of ... |

| The purpose of this paper is to examine the potential for the U.S. Coast Guard to perform as the defacto U.S. naval force in Central America in support of SOUTHCOM maritime missions. Due to the limited U.S. Navy presence in Central America, there are maritime oriented national security missions which are currently either not performed, or performed at a level which leaves significant room for enhancement. This paper begins by ... |

| U.S. Force structure in the post-Cold War security environment continues to be a subject of constant debate. While the Bottom-Up Review (BUR) thoroughly examined future defense requirements, it actually raised more questions than it answered since the result of that process remains unaffordable. In the absence of a bonafide National Security Strategy, efforts to size and shape the military will undoubtedly continue to be a very difficult undertaking. And with ... |

| In 1942, the Allied powers faced the most serious challenge to their control of the seas encountered in the Second World War: the menace of the U- boat. Fast, well-armed, and long-ranged, Hitler's submarines attacked shipping zones throughout the North Atlantic, often within sight of America's coastal towns and cities. Eventually, the combination of intelligence, land, and sea- based air power, and surface vessel operations from both North American and ... |

| This thesis evaluates the capabilities of MAPS ( Multi-Environment AIM (Acoustic Interference Monitor) Prediction System) to determine if the system can accurately predict shallow water propagation loss. SHAREM 102 produced real world propagation loss data from the Gulf of Oman that was used to conduct comparison runs using MAPS. It was found that MAPS was an accurate, user friendly, tactical decision aid for littoral shallow water predictions. MAPS Vs Measured ... |

| Acoustic sensors, traditionally thought of as the mainstay of modem ASW's means of detection and localization, are rapidly becoming secondary in the littoral zones to active sensors such as radar. The coastal region has a dynamic meteorological environment dominated by surface and near-surface ducts which influence sea clutter. Accurate, timely description of the effects this changing environment has on sensor performance is mandatory for the ASW tactitician to utilize his ... |

| Onondaga Lake, located in upstate New York near Syracuse, has been heavily impacted by industrial and domestic effluent. Due to these impacts, the native littoral vegetation had largely disappeared. The primary purpose of this research is to revegetate the littoral zone of the lake. In order to achieve this goal, field and greenhouse studies were performed to evaluate factors limiting the growth of aquatic plants. Species selected for greenhouse studies ... |

| Sediment accretion and composition were examined in vegetated and nonvegetated regions across all depths in Eau Galle Reservoir, Wisconsin. Within riverine areas, delta formation was observed. In the lacustrine area of the reservoir (i.e., nonriverine), both sediment accretion and moisture content decreased while sediment density increased, along a gradient of decreasing depth between 9 and 2.5 m. However, accretion again increased at shallower depths (6 m), a transport zone (3.5 ... |

| The lack of available data on waves, currents, and sand movement along beaches in the United States is major problem confronting planners and designers of coastal projects. Data from instruments such as wave and current gages are expensive to obtain and are rarely available at the precise location where needed.

| Beach profile data taken at 13 profile lines on outer Cape Cod between August 1970 and June 1974 were analyzed to determine trends in profile variability on long-term, seasonal, and short-term time scales and in the longshore and onshore-offshore directions. The 10 northernmost profile lines were backed by steep bluffs of unconsolidated glacial drift, while the remainder were backed by dunes of varying height. Bluff recession rates during the study ... |

| Beach profile lines at 21 near-evenly spaced intervals along Holden Beach, North Carolina, between Lockwoods Folly and Shallotte Inlets, were measured from November 1970 to December 1974. These have been analyzed to determine the spatial and temporal variabilities on long-term, seasonal, and short-term scales. Profile lines near the inlets showed the greatest variability in mean sea level (MSL) position, above MSL volume, foreshore slope, and profile envelope. This variability near ... |

|
| Bagnold's energetics-based total sediment transport model for streams is used as a basis for the development of a total load model of time-varying sediment transport over a plane sloping bed. In both the bedload and suspended load, the transport rate vectors are found to be composed of a velocity-induced component directed parallel to the instantaneous velocity vector and a gravity- induced component directed downslope. The model is applied to idealized ... |

| The mobilization of sediment phosphorus (P) by three submersed freshwater pplant species was investigated on five different sediments. The study was conducted under controlled environmental conditions in lucite columns that enabled the separation of sediment and plant roots from the overlying P-free 'complete' nutrient solution. The species investigated (Egeria densa, Hydrilla verticillata, and Myriophyllum spicatum) had minor root systems (on a biomass basis), but were demonstrated to be fully capable ... |

| As presently used, the immersed weight rate, I sub l, is the volume rate, Q, of longshore transport, multiplied by a constant. For use in engineering problems, I sub l must be converted back to the equivalent Q. The I sub l formulation may be important where the unit weight of sand differs significantly from the unit weight of sand at the open-coast sites contributing data to the design curve. ... |

| Planning for a cleanup operation of the shore zone requires consideration of the physical nature of the coast (including the sediment types), wave energy levels, and tidal range. Beaches exist in a dynamic state and are continuously changing in response to littoral processes. In addition to these temporal variations, there is frequently considerable variability of shoreline types and process characteristics within a small region. In eastern Canada, contingency planning must ... |

| Since 1945, the traditional three-mile territorial sea has been under repeated attack. Postwar advances in techniques for fishing, undersea mining and drilling have given offshore waters considerable economic importance, resulting in a twelve-mile territorial sea claim or greater as a majority position today.

The post-cold war mine threat differs from the traditional in a number of ways. Devising ways of countering this threat, ideally without risking own personnel, should be seen as an important task. As a small nation with a very strong dependence on the sea, Norway has ... |
