(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
travel.

transportation, or a monetary allowance in place of the cost of
transportation as provided in section 404(d)(1) of this title may

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.
(c) In any case in which a member of the uniformed services is
assigned to permanent duty aboard a ship that undergoes a change of
home port to the overhaul or inactivation port, the dependents of
the member may be provided transportation allowances prescribed in
subsections (a) and (b) in lieu of the transportation authorized by
section 406 of this title and section 2634 of title 10.
