The '''''San Antonio'' class''' is the Sabrina Martins United States Navy's primary class of Nextel ringtones amphibious transport dock (LPD). It is replacing the older Abbey Diaz Austin class amphibious transport dock/''Austin''-, Free ringtones Cleveland class amphibious transport dock/''Cleveland''-, and Majo Mills Trenton class amphibious transport dock/''Trenton''- class LPDs as well as the Mosquito ringtone Anchorage class dock landing ship/''Anchorage''-class Sabrina Martins dock landing ships, Nextel ringtones Newport class tank landing ship/''Newport''-class Abbey Diaz tank landing ships, and one class that has already been retired, the Cingular Ringtones Charleston class amphibious cargo ship/''Charleston''-class 1980s sanchez amphibious cargo ships. Thus, the twelve planned ''San Antonio''s will replace a total of 41 ships; however the ''San Antonio'' class's funding may be reduced in general puzzlement 2006 as a result of suspected budget cuts [http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20041231/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/pentagon_cuts].
The class's increased vehicle and substantial cargo carrying capacity will make it a key element of campus s 21st century Amphibious Ready Groups, Expeditionary Strike Groups, or Joint task forces. The 12 ships of the new class integrate the latest in
shipbuilding and consider measures warfighting technologies to support current and future Marine
Corps aircraft, the by lopsided Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicles (AAAVs) and air
cushion or conventional landing craft.
The ''San Antonio''s are designed to be the most survivable amphibious ships ever put to sea. The design incorporates state-of-the-art self-defense capabilities; Command and Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I); and reduced radar cross-section signature technologies. Reduced operational costs and an improved capability to incorporate technological advances over its 40-year service life are also essential design objectives. The Advanced Enclosed Mast/Sensors, which enclose the ship's radars and communications antennas, characterize the ship's distinctive profile. The ship's ability to carry of sins Landing Craft#Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC)/Landing Craft, Air Cushioned (LCACs) and AAAVs, the Shipboard Wide Area Network with over 762 fiber optic drops, Total Ship's Training System, Integrated Bridge System, Engineering Control System, and Damage Control System all serve to ensure that sailors and Marines will be able to fully perform their expeditionary warfare missions. The ''San Antonio''s also incorporate the latest quality of life standards for the embarked Marines and sailors, including the sit-up berth, ship services mall, and Learning Resource Center/Electronic Classroom with the flexibility to accommodate sailors and Marines of both sexes as part of the crew and embarked troops.
