Abstract
This study develops comparative life cycle costs for the Navy military and Navy military-conversion to civil service manning options for the AO-177 class fleet oiler. These life cycle costs were derived by discounting the total annual cost elements of personnel, operations, and maintenance over thirty years using mid-year discount factors corresponding to a ten percent discount rate. In addition to the life cycle cost analysis, the non-quantifiable factors of Navy fleet oiler force level requirements, the expected recruiting environment in the 1980's, and the requirement for a training platform for the multi-product AOE-AOR replenishment station ships were presented and discussed. Conclusions were drawn based upon the cost and non-quantifiable factor analysis and recommendations concerning the manning of the AO-177 class fleet oilers, future fleet oiler manning, and possible further research were presented.
