CHAPTER 6 AIRCRAFT FIREFIGHTING (LPD/ACS) Although helicopters are the primary AIRCRAFT operating from amphibious transport docks (LPDs) and air-capable ships (ACS), vertical/short takeoff or landing (V/STOL) AIRCRAFT are also operated at times. Because of the helicopter's ability to land and take off vertically, a crashed helicopter on the flight deck may not cause the entire flight deck to be disabled and, subsequently, stop flight operations until the flight deck is cleared. The ACS flight deck crash, fire, and rescue team functions as a specialized damage control party. ACS is defined as all ships other than carrier; fixed wing AIRCRAFT , nuclear (CVN); amphibious assault ship , general purpose (LHA); and amphibious assault ship, multipurpose (LHD), which have an AIRCRAFT operating capability ( , landing, take-off, vertical replenishment, or hover in-flight refueling (HIFR) operations.)
