(a) Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary concerned, a
member of the uniformed services who is on permanent duty aboard a
ship which is being overhauled or inactivated away from its home
port and whose dependents are residing at the home port of the ship
is entitled to transportation, transportation in kind,
reimbursement for personally procured transportation, or an
allowance for transportation as provided in section 404(d)(3) of
this title for round-trip travel from the port of overhaul or
inactivation to the home port on or after after the thirty-first
calendar day, and every sixtieth calendar day after the thirty-
first calendar day after the date on which the ship enters the
overhaul or inactivation port or after the date on which the member
becomes permanently attached to the ship, whichever date is later.
However, in no event shall the amount of reimbursement for
personally procured transportation or allowance for transportation
exceed the cost of Government-procured commercial round-trip air

port of the ship before commencement of overhaul or inactivation to
the port of overhaul or inactivation. The total reimbursement for
transportation for the member's dependents may not exceed the cost
of Government-procured commercial round-trip travel.

assigned to permanent duty aboard a ship that undergoes a change of
