Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A seabased resupply system includes a fuel containment structure containing fuel and extending fore and aft along a longitudinal axis, a pump on the fuel containment structure operable to pump the fuel, containers located on an exterior of opposite lateral sides of the fuel containment structure, and an operating system located inside one or more of the containers, the operating system comprising at least one selected from a power supply, a communication system, and a control processor.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A seabased resupply system, the seabased resupply system comprising: a fuel containment structure containing fuel and extending fore and aft along a longitudinal axis; a pump on the fuel containment structure operable to pump the fuel; containers located on an exterior of opposite lateral sides of the fuel containment structure; an operating system located inside one or more of the containers, the operating system comprising at least one selected from a power supply, a communication system, and a control processor; and a keel on a bottom surface of the fuel containment structure. 2. The seabased resupply system of claim 1 , wherein the containers extend parallel to the longitudinal axis. 3. The seabased resupply system of claim 2 , wherein the containers extend approximately a length of the fuel containment structure. 4. The seabased resupply system of claim 1 , wherein the operating system is a power supply. 5. The seabased resupply system of claim 4 , wherein the containers extend approximately a length of the fuel containment structure. 6. The seabased resupply system of claim 1 , further comprising a landing pad for an aircraft located on a top surface of the fuel containment structure. 7. The seabased resupply system of claim 6 , wherein the containers extend approximately a length of the fuel containment structure. 8. The seabased resupply system of claim 7 , wherein the operating system is a power supply. 9. The seabased resupply system of claim 1 , wherein the containers extend approximately a length of the fuel containment structure.
