Abstract
A simplified model of the Navy's underway replenishment operation
is investigated by using a multi- stage cyclic queue ing model to ap=
proximate the process. A computer simulation of a more realistic
model is performed to generate data which is compared with the cyclic
queue results. The cases for M = 2 and N = 10, 15, 20 with various
service rates are considered, where M is the number of ships in the
underway replenishment group, and N is the size of the combatant force
being replenished.
