                     PRODUCTION POOL
 
  1. Problem.
      To determine the implications of moving landing craft
from the Production Pool:
     a. To ROUNDUP.
     b. To NORTH PACIFIC.
     c. To CENTRAL PACIFIC.
     d. To S0UTH-SOUTHWEST PACIFIC.
     e. To ANAKIM.                    
 
2. Basic data.
    a. LST's require 50 days fitting out and shakedown; 
sailing port - NEW 0RLEANS.
    b. LCI(L)'s require 35 days fitting out and shakedown; 
sailing port -HAMPTON ROADS.
    c. LCT(5)'s and smaller types are assembled at various
East and West COAST ports. Their flow from U. S. depends
entirely on shipping available.
 
3. To ROUNDUP.
     a. Time required in weeks.
