Abstract: The Assault Craft Unit 4 (ACU-4) and Assault Craft Unit 5 (ACU-5) base facilities of the American Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) are introduced, as well as the Yokose base of the west pacific ALPHA, and the characteristics of each base has been analyzed. LCAC can berth intensively due to its good maneuverability at low speed as it is equipped with bow thrusters. The LCAC need to be lifted frequently for checking and repairing since the bottom and skirt side fingers of the LCAC are easy to be damaged. Rubber-tired cranes are therefore fixed at the LCAC bases to lift the LCAC onto the high buttress for checking and accessing to the garage for indoor maintenance. The possible shortcomings of the current LCAC bases and thus the corresponding solutions are also discussed. The procedure of the LCAC lifting and transfer and the factors to be considered in the design of the rubber-tired cranes are preliminarily analyzed.

摘要： 介绍美国LCAC本土与海外以及日本版LCAC（TACC）停泊基地,并对其各自特点进行分析,LCAC设有艏部矢量喷管低速操纵性好可实现密集停放。由于LCAC艇底结构及围裙侧部手指易受损,需要经常吊起检查,故在停泊基地设置轮胎式起吊转运车以便将LCAC吊起置于高支墩上作检查,以及移入艇库进行室内维修。探讨停泊基地可能存在的不足之处及应对方案,初步分析LCAC起吊转运的操作流程及转运车设计需考虑的因素。
