Diplomacy and disaster relief need designed-in space

Hosting officials and carrying disaster-relief equipment create additional demands on a deployed warship.

Notes

Foreign officials need space when they visit a warship. Disaster relief also requires equipment aboard before the ship can provide it. Chainsaws are the small but concrete example of stores that must be carried and accommodated. Individually modest additions accumulate into a design requirement.
