NOTES:
Draft use the larger limiting draft or maximum navigational draft in determining
minimum water depth requirements.
Displacement use the largest displacement expected of any ship anticipated to use the
facility in determining berthing forces on the pier or wharf.
Length use the overall length for the longest combination of surface combatants,
amphibious warfare, combat logistic ships, or CVN that normally use the facility to
determine pier and wharf length and utility locations.
Beam use the widest to determine horizontal clearances and slip width both for single
berth and nested configurations. Note that the waterline beam for CVN 68-75 is 134 ft
and the width of the flight deck structure (with antenna platforms, walkways, and
portable flight deck sections removed) is 252 ft. Without removing these appurtenances,
CVN 68 is 260 ft and CVN 76 is 280 ft wide.
Height use the lightly loaded height of 180 ft (55m) above the waterline. This includes
combined superstructure and all communications / antenna array supported by the
superstructure. Governing vessel is the LPD 17. Use the lightly loaded height of 215 ft.
above the waterline for CVN's.
