From page 99...
... THE SHORE LOGISTICS SITE This site serves as an intermediate maintenance activity and replenishment base for the submersible. The site must be in a sheltered area with a proper pier or alongside space to provide safe berths for the submersible and, if possible, the ferry, surface support safety boat, and tow boat (if a separate boat other than the ferry or surface support safety boat is used for this purpose)
From page 100...
