The 49〔 Strategic Sealift Ships are part of the United States Military Sealift Command's (MSC) Prepositioning Program. They are strategically positioned around the globe to support the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Defense Logistics Agency. Most are named after Medal of Honor recipients from the service they support.〔 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/army/aps-3.htm ) 〕 The MPS ships are assigned to three maritime prepositioning ship squadrons located in the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean at Diego Garcia and the Western Pacific Ocean at Guam and Saipan. The MPS ships in each squadron have sufficient equipment, supplies and ammunition to support a Marine Air-Ground Task Force for 30 days. The MPS ships are self-sustaining, with cranes to unload at sea or pierside. MSC chartered the first two ship classes in the MPS role (the ''Corporal Louis J. Hauge, Jr.'' and ''Sergeant Matej Kocak'' classes) from civilian shipping lines and converted them. Later ships were purpose-built. ==Ships== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Strategic Sealift Ships」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
