Re: Как предполагается...
День добрый.
>Просто быстроходный войсковой транспорт мирного времени?
Да, они в Military Sealift Command. Время же относительно мирное - постоянно какое-нибудь несение демократии без морских боев.
Задачи формулируются максимально общо: The main roles of the EPF vessels are transportation of troops, military vehicles, cargo and equipment for a range of global missions. The vessel will also support military logistics and humanitarian relief operations. The EPF is able to transport U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps company-sized units with their vehicles, or reconfigurable to become a troop transport for an infantry battalion.
Клевещут также, что пароход не слишком мореходен:
One disadvantage of the ship’s design is instability in rough seas and at high speeds. At 10 knots in calm sea states, the hull can roll up to four degrees to each side, while conventional ships would roll very little, which would increase if the ship goes faster in rougher conditions, raising the possibility of seasickness. To achieve its top speed, the ship has to be traveling in waters not exceeding sea state 3 (waves up to 1.25 m (4.1 ft) high). At sea state 4 it can travel up to 15 knots, travel only 5 knots in sea state 5, and has to hold position in any sea state higher; while this might be seen as an operational limitation that can delay its arrival to port facilities, the ship was intended to operate closer to shore rather than in blue-water conditions.

А вообще какие пароходы Austal умеет строить лучше других, те и продвигает.
