The Navy completed an at sea exercise to demonstrate the transfer of vehicles between a surrogate mobile landing platform ship and a large medium-speed roll-on/roll-off ship. The test, led by the Strategic Theater Sealift Office within the Navy's Program Executive Office Ships, is part of risk-reduction efforts for the Department of Defense Maritime Prepositioning Force (Future) when transferring military vehicles between ships at sea. The test demonstrated a self-deploying ramp system installed on the surrogate MLP, semi-submersible M/V Mighty Servant 3, and a new self-deploying sideport platform installed on the Military Sealift Command large, medium-speed roll on/roll off ship USNS Soderman.
