Description
The manually controlled ramp lowers from a deck elevation of 29 ft to water level for roll-on cargo, using a hydraulic cylinder to wind up or release chains to place it at the appropriate level. It will ease delivery of supplies to the Navy’s San Nicolas Island base in California’s Channel Islands, about 70 miles southwest of Los Angeles.
