It was a foggy morning as USNS Choctaw County prepares to moor at Wharf ALPHA, Oct. 29, 2014, at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. The Choctaw County is a joint high speed vessel designed for rapid, intra-theater transport of troops and military equipment. The JHSV has a reconfigurable 20,000-square-foot mission bay area that can quickly adapt to support a number of different missions – anything from carrying containerized portable hospitals to support disaster relief to transporting tanks and troops. These ships are capable of transporting approximately 600 tons of military troops, vehicles, supplies and equipment 1,200 nautical miles at an average speed of 35 knots, and are designed to operate in austere ports and waterways, providing added flexibility to U.S. warfighters worldwide.
