Book Description

For the main base at Little Creek, the master plan recommends land use and facility development to meet mission requirements. The master plan is a guide for orderly development of Naval Amphibious Base (NAB) Little Creek to meet mission requirements: The plan supports the ships assigned to Little Creek in the FY 1992 Amphibious Ships Homeporting Plan. These ships include the new LSD-41 class which is nearly 60 feet longer than current LSD's. The plan shows the facility, road and utility support required for the 12,887 military and civilian personnel authorized for FY 1990. New units like SEAL Team 8 and the LCAC Assault Craft Unit Four are responsible for significant growth over the current population of 10,800 personnel. The previous master plan for NAB (approved in 1979) was based on an FY 1987 projection of 9,040 total civilian and authorized military billets.
