The shipyard period is an opportunity for the crew to familiarize themselves with the ship. The ship will be required to complete various certifications leading up to introduction into the fleet. This section provides some insight into the administrative requirements and personnel related issues associated with the initial man-up. New construction ships are manned based on a Crew Scheduling and Phasing Plan. Dependent upon the platform type, crew manning is accomplished in two, three, four or as many as eight increments.
The quantitative and qualitative requirements of these increments are based on the platform type, test and construction schedule. The objectives of the Crew Scheduling and Phasing Plan are to: a. Ensure adequacy of schooling for personnel assigned.
Ensure appropriate course convening dates. Ensure sufficient training for anticipated maintenance and operating skill requirements. Ensure the optimization of training opportunities for personnel in the pipeline en route to the ship.
A senior crew member from the first increment shall be assigned with the responsibility of tracking and reviewing manning issues. For some ships, the Ship Program Manager has provided support contractors to assist either partially or entirely in the management of the Crew Scheduling and Phasing Plan. Regardless of the class or type of ship, the initial increment of personnel must quickly organize.
If a detachment concept is used, Appendix AB of this chapter provides a basic listing of requirements that the first increment of personnel should be pursuing. Appendix AC of this chapter provides similar information for the non-detachment approach.
The Industrial Activity presents a unique environment with special circumstances not routinely encountered by operating forces. The incremental assignment of personnel to PCUs and the pace of new construction demands a comprehensive training strategy. A well established training program is the key to the ship being ready for introduction into the Fleet. Consistent with the objectives of a shipboard training program, the TYCOM training manuals and references q , r and s , a new construction training program will ensure that: a.
Included is the CO's responsibility to personally conduct an RSE of each key propulsion plant watchstander. Personnel are trained in any special Quality Assurance QA procedures that may be used during the construction period. Personnel assigned are knowledgeable of the platform, system and equipment installations and operation of installed equipment.
Watchstander qualifications support a watch section of fully or provisionally qualified personnel for all scheduled events. Intensified special training is provided to support: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Cold Operations. Hot Operations. Combat Systems Installation Certification. Crew Certification. Fast Cruise and Sea Trials. Damage Control Team. Fire Fighting Team. Tactical Team. Special details.
All billets requiring specific Navy Enlisted Classifications are filled. Established Naval Schools and Trainers are used to the maximum extent possible. Special training in accordance with TYCOM directives is provided for provisional certification to load, handle, stow and maintain a weapons load-out specific to the class of ship. Provide supplemental instruction where necessary and inform the Supervising Authority and Ship Program Manager of significant problems or shortfalls.
The enlisted training program is started as soon as the Leading Petty Officers for the major divisions arrive. The Officers and senior enlisted personnel will develop the content and scope of the training programs for implementation with the arrival of the first large increment of enlisted personnel. Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment Maintenance Program training shall be conducted in accordance with reference u.
In most cases the Industrial Activity will allow the ship to control the scheduling of topics. This concept also provides for the easy access to many of the basic courses such as firefighting, damage control, Repair Parts Petty Officer training, Drug and Alcohol Program Advisors, Component Change Control, etc.
For ships not utilizing the FTC Detachment Concept, such as submarines, an individual should be assigned to monitor and track training and manning issues as they develop. The department organization manual should establish prerequisites for watchstander qualification. Qualification goals should be established and the program should support completion of goals within each division. Fleet wide training and qualification goals are: a. The establishment of procedures by which Ship's Force reports and tracks the correction of deficiencies cannot be overstressed.
Each shipbuilder and associated Supervising Authority have their own established system for tracking shipbuilder responsible deficiencies. These deficiencies, depending on their seriousness, may impact a ship's delivery to the Navy.
The tasks defined in this section incorporate experience gained and lessons learned from previously completed ships. Tasks and responsibilities include items discussed in the following paragraphs.
There is no precise pattern or timetable for these inspections, but they should be thorough and conducted frequently. Ship's Force personnel need to become familiar with the contract specifications and system drawings.
This will ensure the prompt identification, and documenting, of discrepancies discovered when comparing "as built" conditions to the actual specification. Theoretical portions of PQS should be implemented during the training pipeline at the specific Training Centers and at the FTCs using available technical manuals and training material. Ship-wide PQS should be implemented prior to the arrival of the final crew increment at the shipbuilder's yard.
Additionally, PQS sign-off authority should be specified in writing by the ship's Engineer Officer, in order to ensure that the provisional qualifications and sign-off procedures function smoothly. The PCU must ensure that engineering spaces are completely outfitted. Routine progress inspections must be made in this area, and the PCU will participate in completing Compartment Completion Inspection Reports.
Configuration Change Requests must be drafted with full recognition of the guidance contained in both the General Specifications for Building Naval Vessels and the specific Class Building Specifications. Validation of Engineering Department OSS manuals is the responsibility of the ship's Engineering Department personnel, with assistance provided by the Ship Program Manager and contractor support personnel if available.
This validation will ensure that procedural requirements are current, well-defined and correct. Develop the preliminary EOSS package. Conduct cold plant check to validate equipments for correct system operation. Conduct pre-hot check. Conduct hot system ship check. Print, laminate, assemble EOSS. Install final EOSS. The Regional Maintenance Centers RMC have numerous functions and responsibilities, some of which will further be discussed in Volume I, Chapter 3 of this manual, but for the purpose of this section only those functions and responsibilities related to new construction will be discussed.

This chapter addresses the major evolutions confronting the crew from initial man-up through Dock Trials, Fast Cruise and the commencement of Sea Trials. Reference a establishes the Test and Evaluation policy for all phases of a ship's life cycle. This guide contains information concerning the documentation and procedural requirements for a ship's Acquisition, Test and Evaluation Program.
Reference b , which can be obtained from the Supervising Authority, identifies all the certification requirements which have been approved for accomplishment during surface ship industrial periods. The following paragraphs deal with generic inspections or platform unique certifications. To determine that adequate plans have been developed and implemented to support the requirements of Ship's Force training, administration and testing during new construction and to evaluate the ship's ability to conduct various evolutions.
The arrival assist visit may be conducted as a single visit or as a series of visits. Appendix A of this chapter provides sample areas to be reviewed during the arrival assist visit. The arrival assist should be scheduled for accomplishment within a two month period following the arrival of the first crew increment.
In the event that preparations are evaluated unsatisfactory, additional training should be conducted as recommended by the ISIC. The focus will be to improve Ship's Force involvement with the construction process, maintenance and training tasks. Visits of this nature are defined as Tech Assists. To evaluate the effectiveness of the ship's administration and training policies. Inspections of this nature are defined as Work-ups and normally require the addition of at least two officers to the inspection team.
To conduct spot checks to monitor progress in specific material, administrative and training areas. Visits of this nature are defined as Monitoring Visits. The extent, type, and frequency of periodic monitoring inspections and visits should be determined by the ISIC. Submarine monitoring inspections may be combined with those required by reference e. The initial inspection should be broad in scope in order to apprise the ISIC of the adequacy of the ship's performance and progress.
The initial inspection should be conducted within a 45 day time period after the arrival inspection. The initial visit will indicate the frequency and scope of subsequent Tech Assists and Monitoring Visits. Some inspections should be conducted on a unannounced basis. In general, any required Work-ups should be scheduled in advance of Key Events.
All inspections should be scheduled to minimize interference with industrial activity and Ship's Force work. Formal reports are not required. Inspection Areas. Initial inspections normally examine the effectiveness of Ship's Force follow-up actions as a result of the arrival assist. Subsequent inspections and visits should review the areas designated in Appendix B of this chapter as appropriate.
Normally the crew's readiness can be assessed within two days using such a plan. The Supervising Authority will arrange for minimum industrial activity work interference during this inspection. The TYCOM should be advised approximately two months prior to the tentative date and confirmed dates should be established approximately one month prior to the inspection.
Composition of the Inspection Team. A qualified nuclear engineer with experience in the billet. Observation of basic drills and evolutions not requiring reactor operation or special conditions. Personnel interviews and written tests. Material inspection. Crew certification is required for new construction ships. Depending upon the platform and TYCOM policy, crew certification will be accomplished in two, three or four phases.
Initial phases determine the state of readiness and training of Ship's Force, particularly in the areas of watchstander qualifications, damage control readiness, status of operational and emergency bills, onboard supply of essential technical manuals and general operational knowledge. Later phases are structured to certify that the state of crew training is satisfactory for at-sea operations. Certifications for submarines and surface ships will be conducted using the guidance of the applicable TYCOM training manual, references f , g , and h.
Reference i provides additional direction for aircraft carriers. Sonar certification for surface ships is accomplished in accordance with reference b. Submarine sonar certification is accomplished in accordance with reference h , during a designated Sea Trial just prior to the Combined Trial.

In addition, a TEMPEST file needs to be established to include all actions pertaining to installations, modifications or alterations to secure electrical information processing equipment or centers. The specific information to be retained is identified in reference s.
Diesel inspections shall be conducted in accordance with Volume IV, Chapter 4 of this manual. Navy ships are built to meet habitability standards for berthing areas, messing areas, water closets, laundry and barber facilities as set forth in reference u.
Prior to certifying readiness for In-Service the ISIC will conduct a Habitability Inspection to determine that the ship is materially ready for the crew to move aboard. The Habitability Inspection for submarines is conducted two to four weeks prior to certifying the ship's readiness for In-Service, two to four months prior to this certification for Nuclear Powered Aircraft Carriers and just prior to delivery and crew move aboard for all others.
Compartment Surveillance Guide. Appendix D of this chapter has been included to serve as a guide when preparing for the Habitability Inspection and In-Service. Appendix E of this chapter is a sample checklist which can be tailored to any platform.
Assigned Ship's Force constitutes the only group of personnel authorized to operate naval nuclear powered ships during dockside testing and Sea Trials. Because of this requirement, references c and d specify that nuclear powered ships in construction are assigned an active status of In-Service prior to commencement of the first Sea Trial two to four weeks for submarines, two to four months for Nuclear Powered Aircraft Carriers and retains that status until delivery of the ship.
To support this event the contractor is required to make the ship available to the Navy for a period of two days for a Habitability Inspection approximately one week prior to Dock Trials. Responsibilities for Safety of the Ship.
Placing the ship In-Service has an impact upon the established responsibilities for safety of the ship. The Supervising Authority is responsible for monitoring the industrial activity's safety and fire protection program. Reference v states that the OIC of a ship In-Service has the same responsibilities for the safety of the ship as a CO of a commissioned ship. Division of Responsibility. In order to establish clear lines of responsibility at In-Service and to eliminate unnecessary duplication of effort, the following shall apply: 1 Ship's Force.
At In-Service, Ship's Force must have operational control of all systems in the ship and will stand all shipboard watches, making all security patrols of the ship, the moorings, and the immediate adjacent pier. Industrial Activity. The industrial activity continues to perform all contract requirements until delivery. The industrial activity will support Ship's Force in the performance of those requirements assumed by Ship's Force as required.
Supervising Authority. During preparations for In-Service, conduct liaison between Ship's Force and the industrial activity to ensure that the above division of responsibility is understood and agreed to. Reference w establishes the provision for checking, operating and maintaining degaussing systems. Reference x contains basic principles and background information concerning degaussing. Deperming, a method of neutralizing the magnetic field of a ship's hull to minimize permanent magnetism, is required for all new construction ships.
Light-Off Assessments LOA for psi, psi, Main Propulsion diesel and gas turbine ships will be conducted before propulsion plant operations at an appropriate time before completion of the fitting out availability. Experience has shown this two week period is crucial, not only to successful completion of the LOA but to the operation of the ship subsequent to construction. If it appears the two week interval is in jeopardy, the ship's OIC should discuss ways to speed up the industrial activity work with the Ship Superintendent or this subject should be addressed at Supervising Authority progress conferences.
Completion of industrial activity work should be interpreted as meaning that all known work and testing authorized for accomplishment by other than Ship's Force, and which is necessary to support LOA, is complete, including the removal of associated staging and equipment, reinstallation of access doors and hatches, cleanup and painting.
Fuel, lube oil, and feedwater should be on board. Partial or temporary installations do not meet completion criteria except as necessary to support the LOA itself or, in the case of lagging pads, as necessary to allow readjustment upon light-off to hot settings of regulators, reducers, and relief valves. The systems and spaces involved in LOA vary from ship to ship, but normally include all systems and spaces needed to support the plant s being inspected.
This would include main and auxiliary machinery spaces, switchboards, diesels, shaft alleys, uptakes, repair lockers, oil laboratories and calibration laboratories for Automatic Boiler Control systems, etc. Confirm spaces subject to inspection with the Propulsion Examining Board.
Emergent work items or additional discrepancies requiring industrial activity work that become apparent during the pre-LOA period need to be accommodated. Normally these requirements can be worked during night shifts or inclusive weekends.
However, any industrial activity work during this period will be permitted only with the consent of the Supervising Authority and the OIC. This Key Event is largely an exercise in attention to detail and coordination at and between all three levels of maintenance activity Ship's Force, the Shipbuilder and the Supervising Authority. LOA preparations should begin months before the availability. First-hand inspections of main and auxiliary machinery spaces are most effective when industrial activity personnel are not on board weekends and holidays.
During these periods, joint inspections by the Engineer Officer with Leading Petty Officers are recommended for every main space. Similar inspections of the auxiliary spaces should be conducted by either the CO or the Executive Officer, along with the Leading Petty Officers of those spaces. Discrepancy lists convert readily to work lists. Night repair teams primarily composed of duty section personnel can work discrepancies when industrial activity workers are not in the way.
It is a dynamic document and requires updating and revision daily as the LOA date approaches. The Shipboard Crane Certification Program established by reference aa is intended to improve the reliability and safety of all shipboard cranes and is applicable to all cranes mounted on board. Initial crane certification should be accomplished per reference aa.
This early loadout of PMS allows Ship's Force personnel to become familiar with the maintenance procedures and facilitates the identification of problems with the Maintenance Requirement Cards MRC prior to the ship being placed in operation. PMS installation for nuclear powered ships will be conducted approximately six months prior to initial reactor plant criticality.
The installation for non-nuclear ships will be conducted at least three months prior to delivery. Installation of PMS is accomplished in two phases. Phase I occurs approximately two months prior to Phase II. Phase II. The preparation of preliminary Cycle, Quarterly, or Weekly schedules to support PMS load out prior to the preparation of First Quarter after Overhaul schedules is recommended.
As a minimum, the development of a cycle schedule for each work center should be accomplished prior to Phase II PMS installation. This preliminary quarterly schedule schedule "A" is utilized to track maintenance prior to the official First Quarter after Overhaul start date. Additional preliminary quarterly schedules identified as "B", "C", etc.
The "official" PMS start date depends upon several factors: OCT of equipment, available man power, availability of supporting documentation and the availability of tools, parts, test equipment, and material. The start date is also an arbitrary date arrived at by the ship's 3-M Manager and 3-M Coordinator. A start date should be selected that causes as little disruption and preparation of schedules as possible. Utilization of preliminary schedules as discussed in paragraph 3.
However, should this approach not support your situation, the starting of PMS should be indicated on your quarterly schedule with a yellow vertical line, top to bottom, indicating your start date. Ship's Force should follow the guidance of reference ab when implementing.
In deciding whether to place equipment in lay up, consideration should be given to the training opportunity lost. By virtue of accomplishing those maintenance tasks, they will become more familiar with the equipment, its operation and the maintenance procedures. Maintaining equipment in an active status also allows for the identification of procedural problems within the MRCs. TFBRs should be submitted per the requirements of reference ab. That does not mean however, that significant maintenance related events do not happen during the construction period.
In fact, every industrial activity has their own deficiency tracking programs, all of which contain a certain degree of data that should be retained in the ship's CSMP. The problem is that this data resides on industrial activity computers which for the most part do not "talk" to Navy computers. When the ship leaves the industrial activity, it generally leaves without this data.
Ship's Force will load into the CSMP any deficiencies not adjudicated at delivery and any historical construction related maintenance data deemed worthy of future retrieval. The actual load out will vary dependent upon the platform. Generally, the equipment arrives during the construction phase and is stored by the shipbuilder until load out.
Hand tools and weight handling equipment will also be arriving. Weight handling equipment requires certification prior to use and while it may be months before this equipment is required, a recall schedule should be developed to get the equipment certified. Technical manuals and drawings are provided by the Supervising Authority and the Navy. The shipbuilder develops and provides manuals and drawings for all Contractor Furnished Equipment CFE , including equipment furnished by subcontractors.
These manuals will be shipped with the equipment by the vendor. The shipbuilder shall provide stowage and custody of this documentation until actual shipboard loadout. To ensure all required technical manuals and drawings are received, initial documentation validation should be accomplished on a random sampling basis with emphasis placed on low visibility items such as power supplies and electronic subsystem manuals. Final validation will occur during loadout. Each Ship Program Manager has assigned an activity with the responsibility for loading out of Technical Manuals and Drawings.

A formal change process has been established for all seven volumes of the manual and is described in Figure 1.
All change requests must be submitted using the Change Request Form contained in each volume. If changes are submitted in electronic format, facsimile or E-mail, each change request shall contain the information required on the Change Request Form. Your participation in this change process is both important and appreciated. This plan describes the change process requirements and identifies the related responsibilities and requirements for maintaining all volumes of the JFMM.
This manual was developed with the objective of providing a standard set of clear and concise maintenance requirements for the Fleet. The establishment of a formal life cycle maintenance process is necessary to ensure successful accomplishment of this objective.
Utilizing a formal process will ensure effective coordination and management of the JFMM and will ensure: a. Standardized format for all change request responses. Timely evaluation and incorporation of change request. Automated tracking system for all review comments. Consistent distribution of all changes to the manual.
A historical database containing all background information that led to changes and revisions to the JFMM. This section defines the responsibilities and requirements of all activities involved in supporting the life cycle maintenance process of the JFMM. The Fleet Commanders are responsible for the following: a. Providing final approval and promulgation letter for all JFMM changes and revisions issued to the Fleet. Providing funding for the life cycle maintenance of the JFMM. The purpose of these meetings is to review all proposed changes that may be incorporated into the manual in preparation of issuing an official change or revision to the manual.
The advocate is responsible to ensure the SME complies with the established norms of the meeting. When necessary, an SME will normally be sent a proposed change for comment concurrent with TYCOM review, by email, outside of the electronic change website. Access is associated with individuals, not organizations or positions within organizations. Review and evaluate all JFMM change requests within 21 calendar days of receipt of the change, in order to provide users with timely responses.
For changes which affect ship and personnel safety, notify Fleet Commanders and request a message ACN be distributed. Notify the Fleet Commanders of this endorsement via letter. Identify changes to the JFMM distribution list.
Continue collaboration to standardize maintenance requirements across platforms. Issue a letter of acknowledgment to the submitting activity within seven calendar days of receiving the change request and a response letter within seven calendar days of receiving all TYCOMs response. Perform a preliminary review of all JFMM change requests including an assessment of the impact on other volumes and provide background information and additional recommendations, when necessary, to applicable TYCOMs within seven calendar days of receiving change request.
FWD-4 g. Maintain the JFMM distribution list. Provide technical assistance for change requests when requested. Review JFMM revisions when requested. User Activities will submit change requests to SUBMEPP, using the required change request form contained in the manual and provide the following information on the change request form: 1 A clear description of the problem including Volume number, Part Number, Chapter and applicable paragraph s.
When changes are promulgated to this manual, conduct a detailed review of all changes using the change synopsis. Training shall be conducted for all personnel whose work assignments may require them to be familiar with the requirements of this manual. The change process is an integral part of JFMM life cycle maintenance. The process is described in detail below and relates to the flow chart shown in Figure 1. Upon receipt of this change request, SUBMEPP will send a letter to the submitting activity notifying them that the change request has been received.
SUBMEPP will log the change request into a database and conduct a preliminary review, assess the impact of the change on other volumes of the JFMM, gather all appropriate background information and provide additional recommendations when necessary. An unresolved change request is a change request that does not receive unanimous approval or disapproval from all applicable TYCOMs. Fleet Commanders will provide final approval and promulgation letter for all JFMM changes and revisions.
