Damage Control Material Inspection Pre-Brief

1. Damage Control Material Inspection Pre-Brief

2. Missions of INSURV • Develop and establish CNO policy for trials, material inspections, and surveys of ships • Examine naval vessels, assess material condition, and determine fitness for further service • Provide independent verification of new construction ship’s readiness for delivery • Provide findings and statistical information to CNO, fleet commanders, type commanders, and NAVSEA

3. Damage Control • Assess material condition of firefighting, CBR, and damage control equipment. • NOT an inspection of DCA or crew’s firefighting skills, doctrine or capability • NOT an assessment of the Ship’s leadership or management capabilities. • BUT the knowledge and ability to assess, demonstrate, and repair equipment becomes obvious during the inspection. • Bottom line is that crew’s knowledge & performance directly impacts the assessment of ship’s material condition.

4. Why We Are Here • INSURV only inspects and assesses the MATERIAL CONDITION OF THE SHIP! • Training, system grooming, administrative programs review are generally a by-product, however… • No hidden agendas • Inspection standards are based on PMS, Tech Manuals, NSTMs and other officially approved and authorized documentation. • Inspectors do not operate nor serve as second person for situations requiring “two man rule.” • Snapshot in time assessment - It is what it is. • All deficiencies are reported, even if corrected by the end of inspection. • Corrected deficiencies will be documented as such (time permitting). • Do not defer conduct of inspection to facilitate corrective repairs. • Ensure no “interfering” evolutions (Repair and/or troubleshooting tech assists) are scheduled during INSURV inspection

5. INSURV Goals Identify what system design changes or ship’s force actions (i.e. maintenance or training) that could improve the current Damage Control Average of 0.73.

6. Organizational Risk Management • SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT • All safety devices must be operational in order to conduct equipment demonstrations. (Pressure switches, relief valves, valve locking devices, ect…) • The use of established or approved operating procedures is required. • PMS MRCs are to be consulted and safety requirements followed. • All Hearing, sight, breathing and tank entry safety precautions will be adhered to. • Likewise, do not allow us to do anything unsafe.

7. Standards • There are NO INSURV standards. • INSURV uses the US Navy Standard Damage Control Checksheets, as should all commands in assessing DC systems. • http://www.dcfp.navy.mil • Material Inspection Checksheet feedback is highly encouraged.

8. Damage Control Team • Assigned DC Inspection Team • Senior Inspector • DC Uniformed Inspectors • Civilian or Military Tech Inspectors

9. Grading Criteria • Standards and requirements are determined from fleet ready resources, in order of precedence • EOSS • PMS • NAVSEA Tech Man • Man Tech Man • NSTM • GSO • Grading is done through a scorecard criteria called equipment operational capability (EOC) • Green 0.80-1.00 • Yellow 0.60-0.79 • Red 0.00-0.59 Your ability to comprehend and adhere to all of these technical products DIRECTLY impacts your ship’s material condition of readiness and our final assessment of your ship’s material condition.

10. Major DC Systems Inspected • Main & Secondary Drainage • Fixed firefighting Systems (AFFF, HALON/HFP, Water Mist, CO2) • CBR (Detection, PPE, CMWD) • Breathing Air equipment (HPFA, ABPA, BAC, SCBA, SAR/SCBA, EBACS) • Watertight closures (doors, hatches, scuttles) • Ship extinguishers, fire stations, Repair Locker inventories • Portable DC equipment (P-100, ESP, Ram Fans, PECU, DC Generators, etc…)

11. Conduct of the Inspection • Have copies of the following available for the inspector on Day 1: • Completed DC MLOC / Pre-UW Checksheets. • Draft log • List of all DC machinery/equipment Safety Devices. • Fuel, Oil and Water Report. • Master DC Book/ • Limiting Draft /Limiting Displacement (IAW DC Book). • Ship's Information Books • Docking plans and reports. • CBR RIP inventory / load out status. • List of tanks and voids to be inspected. • Current CCMIS tank status report. • List of damage control equipment shortages. • List of all spaces with installed Halon, HFP, FM200, Watermist, installed CO2 flooding systems, and CO2 hose reels. • Date of last firemain flush. • Breathing Air Quality Logs. • Last time SCBA Charging Station 5519, 36M-1 was accomplished • Latest AFFF Concentrate Analysis • Firemain fouling inspection data including a copy of the tagout record showing removed Valve number and location and photographs of piping and valve showing fouling. • Copy of EGL for all bilge zincs • Have required deliverable documentation centrally located and readily available for the inspector .

12. Conduct of the Inspection • Other areas assessed: • Cleanliness, preservation, stowage and material condition (on 0 - 1 scale). • Your ability to self-assess your material condition. • Your efforts in preparing for an INSURV Material Inspection

13. Design Issues Cylinder stowage Location induces corrosion Cylinder replacement is manpower intensive Ship’s Force Issues System knowledge (vent dampers) Attention to detail Station labeling Weight tags Cylinder stowage Lights, Beacons, etc Actuation cylinder PMS HALON/HFP/Watermist/FM-200 Systems

14. HALON/HFP/Watermist/FM-200 Systems Plan for Day 2 includes testing all installed fire systems in Main Spaces: • Includes HALON (lights/alarms/ventilation shutdown/damper closing). Items normally inspected: • Direction arrow on actuation check valves • Time delay correct • Piping installation (including nozzle placement and possible effectiveness) • Check brackets • Calibration • HALON cylinder pressures; temperature/pressure relationships • Audible and Visual Alarms/Indications • HALON activation locations. • System labeling/color coding - Gray and white stripes on handles. • Ventilation/Dampener deactivation and operation

15. Design Issues SOPV reliability Burnout Protection Wiring standards Ship’s Force Issues EOSS familiarity System alignment Relief valves not set properly (PMS) System labeling AFFF Systems

16. AFFF Day-1 evolutions will include operational testing of all installed fire fighting systems within the Main Spaces • Includes AFFF bilge sprinkling activation from every activation station or pushbutton Things you should pay attention to, because we will • Static visual of stations (No corrosion, signs up, diagrams are correct, gage installation, red line pointer position and calibration) • Hose reel inspection and hose condition and hydro, (Anti-crimping strap installation) • Correct tank level – with sufficient AFFF concentrate on hand to refill system • General condition of the station, no corrosion nor verdigris • System color coding and labeling • SOPV (Master and Slave) visual then operational inspection • AFFF Pump Discharge Relief Valve set point (current PMS))

18. Design Issues Manpower intensive NSTM 600 adjustment procedures MAFO Doors Ship’s Force Issues Attention to detail Thorough PMS, including CSMP follow through Watertight Closures

19. WT Closures Inspect your QA internal and external WT Closures IAW PMS, NSTM and material inspection checksheets. (Be objective) • A failure is any closure that does not pass a gasket chalk test, or has a hole in it. (not water tight) • The board will pick which doors, hatches and scuttles to inspect.

20. Non-Main Space Fixed System Protected Spaces • Performed on Day 2 inport. • Lighting is operational. • Lighting is indeed explosion-proof • Do your PMS before we arrive. • High-Temperature alarms • Alarm panels in DC Central, bridge and quarterdecks must work. • Ventilation • Pre-brief and tagouts prepared and personnel knowledgeable of their actions and responsibilities

21. Design Issues Electrical operator reliability Butterfly valve leak by High valve maintenance requirements Bilge suction grate holes too large Ship’s Force Issues Lack of remote operator use Lack of equipment ownership. Main & Secondary Drainage

22. Design Issues CMWD issues Strainers to reduce clogging Piping selection can reduce corrosion and clogging Low point drain caps seized ILS support (training, manuals, PMS, parts) Ship’s Force Issues Lack of training and knowledge CMWD PMS Perform system test Proper system drainage CBR-D Systems

23. Ship’s Force Issues Charging system knowledge Knowledge of component testing and setting requirements PMS familiarity SCBA

24. Discrepancies • Part 1. Deficiencies likely to: • Cause the ship to be unseaworthy • Substantially reduce the ability of the ship to carry out assigned missions. • Substantially reduce the effectiveness of personnel/essential material. • Cause serious injury to personnel or serious damage to material. • Part 2. Less significant deficiencies not considered Part 1: • Examples: Alarm failures, corrosion, lighting deficiencies. • Part 3. Deficiencies which are not in compliance with current technical authority but are impractical and/or too costly to correct. • Reporting of deficiencies: • Quicklook message will list most significant deficiencies. • Final report provided 1 - 2 months after inspection.

25. SF Impacts to DC Grade • Before the inspection • Steady strain on DC • Accurate PMS completion • Timely discrepancy resolution • ER09/EDC1 Organization and implementation • Checksheet employment • Develop and promulgate an inspection POA&M • During the inspection • Preparedness (prestaging, communication with Board) • Flexibility • Communication and coordination • System knowledge and ability to repair on the fly

26. Summary • The INSURV focus is on your ship's material condition and your ability to maintain your ship and systems. Our demonstrations determine equipment operability and are not intended as DCTT or ETT events. We are not people focused, but equipment focused. Our expectation is that your ship and all equipment are maintained IAW PMS, NSTM and Navy Instructions. We expect sufficient operator knowledge to safely operate the gear so that we may obtain an accurate assessment. This is not the time to conduct training and qualification. Review the posted check sheets, develop an SOE, communicate with the board and practice the inport and underway SOE
