GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL


OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO)
DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND

SECTION 086
TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS AND SHIP SELECTED RECORDS

086a. Scope
Ship Selected Records (SSR) comprise hull level system technical documentation, which is maintained current throughout the life of
the ship. SSRs consist of three major categories: Selected Record Drawings (Section 085), Selected Record Data, and Allowance Lists
(Section 083). Each of these major SSR categories contain information of significant value to ships operations, maintenance, training and
logistics requirements. Additions and deletions to the SSR listed herein can only be made with the approval of CNO. Recommendations
for additions or deletions to the SSR listings shall be submitted to CNO via NAVSEA. Upon approval by CNO, NAVSEA will
promulgate appropriate changes. Technical Publications (Manuals) comprise system and equipment level documentation which is
maintained current throughout the life of the equipment. This Section and NAVSEA SL720-AA-MAN-010 provide the general
specifications to which the publications and records will be maintained during the life cycle of the ship or equipment.
HM&E Technical Manuals, for other than hull level Selected Record Data (SRD) Manuals, are maintained as directed by the
equipment life cycle manager or the Technical Manual Management Activity (TMMA) for a particular equipment.

086b. Definitions
Camera Ready Copy (CRC) - The original master art work, drawings, and typed pages of the technical publications.
Deferred ordering - Deferred ordering refers to deferring the ordering of technical data or computer software generated in the
performance of the contract until such time as a need can be established and the requirements can be specifically identified for delivery
under contract.
Microfiche - A sheet of film containing multiple micro-images in a grid pattern. It usually contains a heading or title which can be
read without magnifications.
Publication - A publication is any book, pamphlet, manual, or microfilm thereof manufactured by any method of printing,
duplicating, or reproduction, regardless of content, format, quality, distribution or intended end use.
Selected Record Data (SRD) - A group of technical manuals, tables, charts, drawing indices, damage control books, and other data
(excluding drawings, see Section 085), specifically selected for their reference value for operational, maintenance, training, and consulting
purposes to ship's force, fleet commands, shipyard personnel, training centers, and other naval activities, and maintained current
throughout the life of the ship.
Technical manual - A technical manual is a publication or any other form of documentation pertaining to defense material with
descriptions and instructions for effective use. It will normally include operational instructions, maintenance instructions, parts lists or
illustrated parts breakdown, (IPB), and related technical information or procedures, exclusive of administrative procedures. Other
categories of technical publications may be classified as technical manuals as determined by the Government.
Selected Record Drawings - Consist of important basic hull, mechanical, or electrical equipment, and related information about the
ship and are selected for their value for operational, maintenance, training and consulting purposes to individual ship's forces, fleet
commands, shipyard personnel, training centers, and other naval activities.
Technical Manual Contract Requirement (TMCR) - A TMCR is a definitive contract document that provides the Contract Data
Requirements List (DD Form 1423), and associated Data Item Descriptions, specific requirements and direction for preparation and
delivery of technical manual data items being procured from a Contractor. The TMCR facilitates tailoring technical manual requirements
to the particular hardware or software being procured by consolidating such requirements into a single document. The specifications for
procuring the technical manual are contained in NAVSEA S0701-AA-GYD-010/M-SPECS for TMCR's and Section 800 herein.
Technical Manual Identification Number (TMIN) - TMIN is a Navy-assigned computer-compatible number in accordance with
NAVMAT M000-00-IDX-000/TMINS that classifies a technical manual (including changes and revisions) according to subject or
commodity and provides a unique identification for all separately bound publications. It is used to track the manual throughout the
technical management system. The assigned TMIN may be composed of either one or two distinct parts. The first part is a basic number
that identifies the cognizant Systems Command, general classification of subject matter or commodity, type of manual, specific manual or
separately-bound part, and the issue category. The second part provides security information for classified manuals, and amplifying
user-oriented information, such as equipment designation, applicable hull numbers, and originating code.
Validation- Validation is the process by which the Contractor (or as otherwise directed by the Government) tests a technical manual
for technical accuracy and adequacy by actual performance of the instructions contained in the technical manual. It is conducted at a
Contractor's facility or at an operational site, and entails the actual performance of operational and maintenance procedures (including

1 Section 086
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
S9AA0-AB-GOS-010 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
2004 Edition

checkout, calibration, alignment, scheduled removal and replacement instructions and associated checklists) on the equipment/system for
which the manual was written to ensure completeness, technical accuracy, and adequacy. Disassembly and reassembly or unscheduled
parts removal and replacement procedures are validated by actual performance, or by simulation when actual performance would damage
equipment, be non-cost effective, or impractical to perform.
Verification - Verification is the process by which a technical manual is tested and proved by the Government to be adequate for
operation and maintenance of the equipment systems procured for operational units. Verification is conducted by user personnel and
consists of actual performance of selected operating and maintenance procedures and associated checklists which are procedures
comparable to the validation process.

086c General
The Selected Record Data listed in Section 086g shall be prepared/revised by the Supervisor/Planning Yard.

concerned. NAVSEA SL720-AA-MAN-010 contains a list of those drawings currently designated as Selected Record Drawings.

3 Section 086
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
S9AA0-AB-GOS-010 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
2004 Edition

Recommendations for additions or deletions to the list of Selected Record Drawings shall be submitted to CNO via NAVSEA. Upon
approval by CNO, NAVSEA will promulgate a change to the DSA manual.
The responsibilities of overhauling activities relative to updating Selected Record Drawings are addressed in NAVSEA
SL720-AA-MAN-010. Forces Afloat responsibilities relative to maintaining and updating Selected Record Drawings are addressed in
NAVSEA SL720-AA-MAN-010. Specific procedures for updating Selected Record Drawings are detailed in Chapter 085.
Asbestos Removal Control Drawing (ARCD)
The ARCD is a NAVSEA drawing developed by the planning yard that identifies all asbestos and non-asbestos insulation and
lagging in all ventilation and piping systems throughout the ship. The drawing identifies each category of piping and ventilation by ship's
space, the piping linear footage or ventilation insulation square footage and documents the data and accomplishing activity that removed
the asbestos and replaced it with a non-asbestos insulation.
It will be continuously updated by the overhauling installing activity and that activity is responsible for marking up the ship's master
copy of the ARCD. Upon completion of an ROH or SRA, the Supervisor will forward a documented record copy to the planning yard for
ARCD update of the original drawing.
Booklet of General Drawings - The Booklet of General Drawings shall be furnished to the ship in final form at the end of the
availability. If late shipboard work precludes delivery of the final copy, a "marked up" copy in final format showing the actual conditions
existing in the ship shall be furnished to the ship by the end of the availability. In either case, full distribution in final form will be made
within ninety days after the end of the availability.

086g. Selected Record Data


Selected Record Data is that important basic technical information relative to certain shipboard arrangements, equipment, and
systems under the cognizance of NAVSEA that is selected for its value for operational, maintenance, training, and consulting purposes, to
an individual ship's force, fleet commands, Planning Yards, Overhaul Yards, training commands, and other naval activities. The data items
designated as Selected Record Data are to be maintained current and up-to-date throughout the life of the ship concerned. For ships
undergoing overhaul, existing SRD shall be revised to reflect overhaul conditions. If one or more of the listed SRD do not currently exist
for a ship, new publications shall be prepared only when specifically authorized by NAVSEA SLM.
The FMP Management and Operations Manual, NAVSEA SL720-AA-MAN-010 contains a listing of data currently designated as
Selected Record Data. Recommendations for additions or deletions to the List of Selected Record Data shall be submitted to CNO via
NAVSEA. Upon approval by CNO, NAVSEA will promulgate a change to the DSA manual.
Requirements for Updating Selected Record Data - The requirements of individual Shipyard/Supervisor relative to maintaining and
updating Selected Record Data are addressed in NAVSEA SL720-AA-MAN-010. The Forces Afloat responsibilities relative to
maintaining and updating Selected Record Data are addressed in NAVSEA SL720-AA-MAN-010. Reference NAVSEA Inst. 4160.3
provides NAVSEA policy for the maintenance of NAVSEA Technical manuals. Specific requirements for Selected Record Data are
detailed below:
Numbering of Selected Record Data. NAVSEA Technical Manual numbers, revision numbers and change numbers, as applicable,
are to be utilized in accordance with NAVMAT M0000-00-IDX-000/TMINS for Selected Record Data. NAVSEA numbers may be
obtained from Naval Sea Data Support Activity(Code 5700), Port Hueneme, CA 93043. Each volume of a multivolume document is to be
considered as an individual document and numbered accordingly. A unique NAVSEA number will be assigned, on an individual basis, to
each Selected Record Data item.
Updating Existing Selected Record Data. Overhaul Supervisor is required to update only that data which is directly affected by the
overhaul, data identified by ship's force as requiring updating when submitted in pre-overhaul package or during overhaul and to
incorporate all changes required to interface with other update actions. As required between overhauls, Planning Yards will update data
masters when data is forwarded by NSDSA.
Tabular data are to be updated as required. Illustrations are to be updated by overlay or replacement and limited to one text page.
Plate diagrams are to be updated as required.
A change is comprised of corrected pages to the basic manual. It consists of information that updates the manual without requiring
rewriting or reorganization of the technical content of the basic manual. Changes are to be issued when less than 25 percent of the pages in
the document are affected. All changes require TMINS numbers assigned by NSDSA Code 5700.
A revision is a subsequent edition of a document which supersedes the preceding edition. A revision shall be issued when more than
25 percent of the pages contained in a document have been changed. A revision shall incorporate all existing changes, and is identified by
the TMINS number obtained from the NSDSA.
New Selected Record Data. When alterations have been accomplished that would normally require correction of Selected Record
Data, but where these data have not been previously prepared, or where changes to the DSA manual are promulgated, the following
procedures shall be adhered to:

Section 086 4
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY S9AA0-AB-GOS-010
2004 Edition

(1) Unless otherwise authorized, where only a class data item exists, the data item will be corrected to reflect specific ship
conditions. The data item will be assigned a unique NAVSEA number and designated as the Selected Record Data applicable to subject
ship only. Acquisition of the new data item shall be in accordance with applicable NAVSEA instruction.
(2) When a specific Selected Record Data item does not exist, or when such data are missing and not available from the Planning
Yard, or ship, a new original data item is to be prepared (Type I Technical Manuals excepted) by the Overhaul Yard.
(3) Whenever the original of a Selected Record Data item (less Type I Technical Manual), because of age, extensive correction, or
other reasons, deteriorates, so that legible prints cannot be made, a new data item must be prepared retaining the same NAVSEA number.
Problems with Type I Technical Manual originals will be processed in accordance with NAVSEA instruction 4160.3.

086h. Selected Record Data Characteristics. (The following paragraphs describe specific Selected Record Data items together with
their general updating requirements.)
Ship Information Book (SIB) and General Information Books, (GIB). The SIB and its older counterpart, the GIB, provide a source
of technical information concerning shipboard arrangements and systems.
Updating SIBs/GIBs. SIB and GIB will be updated after the availability during which alterations are accomplished which affect the
system, functions, or procedures therein, in accordance with the following guidelines:
1. In the event that equal or better information is readily available onboard ship in other Selected Record Drawings,
Selected Record Data, or publications, the information should not be duplicated in the SIB/GIB. Instead, the SIB/GIB should simply be
annotated to indicate that a change has been accomplished, and reference the source of updated information.
2. A shipcheck may be required to verify accuracy of the SIB/GIB following work performed by an Overhaul Activity.
SIB/GIB for Surface Ships. The SIB for surface ships will normally consist of the following separately bound volumes or portions
of volumes. Only those volumes of a ship's SIB/GIB currently provided will be updated as Selected Record Data. No volume of a SIB is
to be added or deleted except by direction of NAVSEA.

(1) Volume 1. Hull and Hull Mechanical Systems


(2) Volume 2. Machinery Plant
Part 1. Propulsion Plant, General Design, and Operating Procedures
Part 2. Auxiliary Machinery, Piping, Air Conditioning, Ventilation, and Heating Systems
(3) Volume 3. Power and Lighting Systems
Part 1. General Description and Design Information of Systems
Part 2. General Description of Electric Equipment and Electrically Operated Auxiliaries
(4) Volume 4. Electronics Systems
(5) Volume 5. Interior Communication Systems
Part 1. Interior Communication Systems
Part 2. Sound-Powered Telephone Systems, Voice Tubes, and Message Passing Facilities
(6) Volume 6. Weapons Control Systems (Not required when Combat Systems Technical Operations Manual (CSTOM) applies)
(7) Volume 7. Ballasting Systems

Damage Control Books and Diagrams. The Naval Ship's Technical Manual (NSTM) S9086-CN-STM-020 CN-079/V2 requires the
ship's force to mark up the damage control book and set of diagrams to reflect corrections and modifications made between overhauls and
submit the book and diagrams to the overhauling activity at the start of the overhaul.
The overhauling activity shall revise the damage control book and diagrams in accordance with MIL-STD-784B to reflect
modifications made during the overhaul. The overhauling activity shall distribute the revised material in accordance with the Fleet
Modernization Program (FMP) Management and Operations Manual SL 720-AA-MAN-010.
Technical Manuals (TM) - Technical Manuals separately describe equipment. Type I manuals are normally required for electrical
and mechanical equipment. Type II manuals are required for electronic and IC equipment. Type III manuals are normally required for
systems.
While technical manuals are important items of documentation, not all such manuals are considered as Ships Selected Records
(SSR). Only those technical manuals specifically identified in Chapter 10 of the DSA manual fall within the category of documentation
specified as SSR.
Unless otherwise directed by NAVSEA, only those technical manuals identified as SSR will be routinely updated under DSA
funding. Manuals to be updated will be identified in NAVSEA authorization letters. Activities concerned should review NAVSEA
authorization letters and advise NAVSEA of manuals meeting the criteria identified in Chapter 10 of the DSA manual believed to require
updating because of actual or planned accomplishment of SHIPALTS and not specifically identified for updating.
When, at any time, a Type I technical manual is known or suspected to be deficient, the deficiencies should be immediately brought
to the attention of NSDSA for initiation of corrective action.

5 Section 086
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
S9AA0-AB-GOS-010 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
2004 Edition

Technical manuals will be prepared and updated in accordance with the requirements of MIL-SPEC used for original preparation.
Publications Applicability List (PAL) - The PAL (formerly ITM) is issued by NSDSA (Code 5H00) each six months to active ships,
technical libraries and training activities, and upon request to requestors. The PAL is configured in four volumes:
Volume 1. General publications (electronics, safety, transportation, Naval Ships Technical Manual (NSTM), etc.). Selected Record
Data technical manuals are highlighted with an asterisk.
Volume 2. Electronic equipment and electronic test equipment publications.
Volume 3. Hull, Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E) equipment publications.
Volume 4. Ordnance systems and equipment publications.
Overhauling shipyards/SUPSHIPS/ILO teams in accordance with NAVSEA INST. 4700.8 are responsible for marking-up existing
PALs, marking all configuration and technical documentation deficiencies observed and changes (adds or deletes) made during the
overhaul. The marked up PAL will be forwarded to NSDSA by the ILO team. Code 5H00 (NSDSA) will issue an updated PAL four
weeks after completion of overhaul. Review and update may be performed on hardcopy or by microfiche reproduction.
The PAL will be marked up to indicate clearly which manuals are Selected Record Data by the Planning Yard prior to providing to
the Overhaul Yard for the next scheduled overhaul or availability.
Ship's Drawing Index (SDI) - The SDI is a list of ship's drawing and related design reference information compiled and recorded on
NAVSHIPS forms 9020/17 and 9020/19. SDI's or portions thereof prepared in ADP format are to be considered as part of the master SDI.
A Modified SDI (MSDI) has been supplied to some ships not originally intended to receive a standard SDI. The MSDI lists only the
title, NAVSEA drawing and numbers of applicable drawings revisions. For the purpose of this manual, the terms SDI and MSDI are
synonymous.
Contents and preparation - Ship construction drawings, and ship equipment drawings designated as certification data sheets,
equipment drawing lists, and assembly drawings which list detail drawings, shall be included in the SDI. All ships selected record
drawings shall be annotated in the SDI with an asterisk.
One tabulating card or magnetic tape or both, shall be prepared for each drawing applicable to the ship for which the SDI is being
prepared.
The overhaul Supervisor shall maintain the SDI tabulating cards/magnetic tape up to date throughout availability of the ship. The
cards shall be maintained in numerical sequence according to their functional 3-digit SWBS number (or BSCI for ships constructed prior to
1970.) This sequence shall then be used for printing the tabular listing.
The quality assurance provisions of Mil. Specs. MIL-M-38761 and MIL-M-38761/2 apply. In the event the Government inspects the
cards/magnetic tape and they do not meet those provisions, the cards will be returned to the original activity who shall recheck the cards,
eliminate all discrepancies, and resubmit.
The Government will supply the raw data necessary to develop those portions of the SDI covering GFM in accordance with schedule
of Government-furnished information.
The ship drawing schedule required by Section 042 shall provide cross check data of this document. Revisions shall indicate
additions, deletions, and corrections to the preceding issue.
The SDI tabulating cards or magnetic tape, or both, shall be completed as soon as practicable, but in no case later than 30 days prior
to the end of the guarantee period.
A copy of the SDI shall be maintained to indicate the status of the drawings (microfilmed aperture cards) of the ship. The completed
SDI shall indicate those drawings issued for the overhauled ship.
(1) SDI-Content - The SDI is a listing of all drawings applicable to the ship including reactor plant drawings. Working drawings,
systems diagrams, Selected Record Drawings having a NAVSEA/NAVSHIPS drawing number assigned, all manufacturing equipment
drawings designated as certification data sheets, equipment drawing lists, and assembly drawings which list detail drawings shall be
included in the SDI. Alteration drawing numbers, Ships Alteration (SHIPALT) number, NAVSEA/NAVSHIPS drawing numbers of
drawings used to prove systems or equipment, or both, installed or otherwise affected by the overhaul, will be included. Alteration
drawings will not be listed until after the alteration has been accomplished.
(2) Updating the SDI - The original SDI is to be corrected to reflect changes resulting from alterations accomplished, changes
reported by the ship or other activities when such changes are made between regular overhauls, and changes otherwise uncovered during
the availability. Since the SDI is the sole source of identification of all drawings applicable to a ship, the overhaul yard will ensure that all
applicable drawings are included in the SDI. Corrections may be made by typewritten mark-up of original SDI pages or appropriate
correction to SDIs in ADP format, or both. Ships, or other activities updating the SDI during an availability, other than a regular overhaul,
will mark up the appropriate page(s) of the ship's SDI. The marked-up "Ship's Master Copy" of the SDI will be forwarded, with other SSR
items, if applicable, to the Planning Yard with a request for correction and appropriate distribution. Particular attention shall be directed to
ensuring the accomplishment and verification of SDI corrections required as a result of equipment and configuration changes accomplished
during restricted availabilities, tender availabilities and voyage repairs. The updated SDI will be returned to the ship within sixty days of
completion of overhaul.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL


OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO)
DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND

SECTION 092
SHIPBOARD TESTS

092a. Scope
This section contains an overview of testing, testing terminology and general requirements for shipboard testing related to overhaul
and repair, and supplements testing requirements outlined in other GSO sections herein. Testing requirements applicable to post-overhaul
ship trials, both dockside and underway, are specified in Section 094.

092b. Test Programs


Testing Overview - Ship tests are onboard demonstrations of satisfactory installation and operation of equipments, subsystems and
systems. NAVSEA has developed test and certification (T&C) programs for various surface ship combatant ships. NAVSEA
T9093-AB-TRQ-010/SURF COMB (Combat System Test and Certification Manual for Surface Combatant Ships) and NAVSEA
0941-LP-053-6010 (1200 PSI Propulsion Plant Test and Certification Manual) are two T&C programs. When invoked by the Supervisors
Work Specification, ship test programs are to be conducted in compliance with the applicable T&C program.
The Supervisor's Work Specification shall identify and authorize required testing.
Hull, Propulsion and Electrical (HP&E) testing shall be limited to new, modified, or repaired portions of the ship unless specified
otherwise in the Supervisor's Work Specification. Should a T&C program be invoked on Hull, Propulsion, and Electrical systems, the
extent of testing required for the specific ships availability shall be defined in the Supervisors Work Specification. Should only selected
T&C test documents be authorized for accomplishment, the Supervisors Work Specification shall identify which tests are authorized.
Section 092c. provides the requirements for testing programs where a formal Test and Certification (T&C) Program has been
developed and invoked. Section 092d. provides test program requirements applicable to ship availabilities which have no formal T&C
program invoked.

092c. Formal Test and Certification (T&C) Programs


Total ship testing is a program to ensure equipment and systems installed, overhauled, repaired, or otherwise disturbed meets
performance criteria and to demonstrate that the ship is capable of fulfilling its mission requirements.
Industrial testing is conducted by using stages of testing for the progressive validation of the proper installation and performance of
equipment and systems. These stages are:
Stage 1 - Material Receipt Inspection/Shop Tests
Stage 2 - Shipboard Installation Inspection & Tests
Stage 3 - Equipment Level Operational Tests
Stage 4 - Intrasystem Tests
Stage 5 - Intersystem Tests
Stage 6 - Special Tests
Stage 7 - Dock Trials/Sea Trials
Total ship testing normally proceeds from the lower stages to the higher stages with each successive stage providing verification of
progressively larger systems, leading to a determination of the operational and material readiness at sea of the total ship. Stage 1 and 2
inspections and tests are quality assurance events conducted to ensure proper receipt, bench testing, and installation and are normally
performed by Contractor or installation personnel. Stage 3 testing is post-installation testing to demonstrate that individual equipment
meets operational parameters and performs within specified tolerances after installation. Stage 4 tests demonstrate the operation and
proper alignment of one independent system. Stage 5 demonstrates operations between two or more independent systems or subelements.
Stage 5 and below tests may also be assigned Stage 7 test numbers and may be conducted during trials in conjunction with or as a part of
Stage 7 testing. Stage 6 tests are those which require special facilities or resources. Stage 7 tests are those which must be conducted
during dock trials or sea trials.
Test Task Group (TTG) - A TTG comprised of Government, Contractor and ship's force representatives shall be established for each
ship overhaul to provide a vehicle for coordinating the test program between the Government and the Contractor. The Supervisor's
member will chair the group. The TTG's function is to augment the technical expertise of the Supervisor and the Contractor, especially
with regard to identifying and resolving test problems. The Contractor, as a member of the TTG, shall participate in the review, evaluation
and resolution of problems associated with the implementation of the test program.
Test Program Management - The Contractor shall coordinate the implementation of the total test program, including test conduct
responsibilities assigned ship's force and other Government test teams. The Contractor shall ensure, through the Test Task Group, that the

phase and frequency. Motor input requirements (as a minimum voltage and current) shall be monitored at the equipment motor controller
during testing. For equipment with short duration operating cycles, data shall be recorded immediately after load is applied and only
single phase monitoring is required. Short duration is less than 60 seconds total operating (cycling) time. For continuous duty motors,
requirements shall be monitored on all (3) phases. Monitoring shall be accomplished not less than once every 20% of the total test time
with a minimum test interval of 10 minutes while the auxiliary is being tested.
For nuclear ships where shore steam is required for testing, the quality and volumes required shall be as specified in Section 253.
During tests of electric auxiliaries, the ability of electric brakes to stop and hold under the specified conditions for the auxiliary shall
be proven by a sudden interruption of the power supply.
Air and hydraulically operated auxiliaries shall be tested to demonstrate satisfactory operation over the specified range of pressures.
If more than one auxiliary is driven by the same electric or hydraulic motor, the test shall be repeated for each auxiliary. Conversely,
if more than one power unit operates a given auxiliary, the test shall be conducted for each.
During tests of auxiliary machinery, the following data shall be recorded as applicable, on a form approved by the Supervisor:
Electric motor input quantities
Hydraulic pump pressures
Stroke of variable stroke pumps
Speed (in RPM) for driven auxiliary
Freedom from vibration
Bearing temperatures
Housing temperatures

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL


OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO)
DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND

SECTION 094
POST-OVERHAUL SHIP TRIALS

094a. Scope
This section contains requirements for ship trials conducted subsequent to overhaul. Trials are operational tests conducted dockside
and underway to demonstrate that systems and equipment are in conformity with the Contract, applicable plans and specifications. Test
requirements contained herein supplement the general requirements for shipboard testing (Section 092) and specific test requirements for
trials contained in other sections of these specifications.

094b. General Requirements


The planning for and conduct of post-overhaul ship trials is a coordinated effort between ship’s force, the Contractor and the
Supervisor. The ship's force is responsible for the scheduling of the various trials and for conducting tests during trials. The ship's force is
responsible for equipment operation during testing and for conducting the trials in accordance with NSTM S9086-CH-STM-000/CH094
and type commander directives (i.e., COMNAVSURFPACINST 4700.1 and COMNAVSURFLANTINST 9000.1).
The Contractor, in coordination with ship's force and the Supervisor's representatives, shall prepare the test schedule and the agenda.
The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring all test procedures are onboard for sea trials and shall be responsible for recording test
data and submitting test and certification reports.
The Supervisor is responsible for the administration of post-overhaul trials and final acceptance of the completed work.
A trial agenda shall be prepared for sea trials. The trial agenda details the Contractors plans for completing the requirements of
trials. A trial agenda consists of a chronological list of administrative events, inspection events and test events. Events shall be arranged
to permit expeditious conduct with minimum interference between concurrent events. Mutually compatible events may be scheduled
simultaneously.
If any part of the ship or its equipment fails to meet contractual requirements during trials, additional trials may be conducted after
corrective measures have been taken. Where scheduled sea trial’s time is not sufficient to demonstrate performance, those incompleted
portions may be rescheduled. The number and scope of such additional trials shall be as directed by the Supervisor.
Representatives of manufacturers who have furnished ship components may be invited to witness trials subject to approval of the
Commanding Officer of the ship.

094c. Conduct of Trials


There are four ship trial events required - dock trials, fast cruise, machinery and full power sea trials, and combat systems sea trials.
Machinery and full power trials and combat systems trials may be combined and accomplished during a single at-sea period.
Dock Trials - A dock trial shall be conducted to demonstrate to the Supervisor and the Commanding Officer the material readiness of
the ship for sea trials. Where possible, all tests shall be completed before the dock trials. Dockside tests are onboard tests conducted after
installation and prior to dock trials to prove proper installation and satisfactory operation of equipment. Dock trials are additional tests
conducted dockside on all systems and equipment necessary to ensure readiness for proceeding with sea trials. During dock trials,
shipyard personnel shall observe tests under their cognizance and make such adjustments and repairs as required; ship's force will retain
responsibility for the operation of equipment in support of tests.
Fast Cruise - Fast cruise is a one or more day period of dockside training by ship's force. This training will be conducted just prior to
underway trials. Ship's force should have operational control of the ship in order to simulate, where practicable, at-sea operating
conditions unhampered by overhaul work and shipyard personnel on the ship. Neither the Contractor nor the Supervisor should schedule
any trials, tests or other work on the ship during the fast cruise.
Sea Trials - Sea trials are the final step in proving the success of the overhaul. Sea trials consist of actual demonstration of
machinery, equipment and systems under operational conditions. Multiple sea trials may be required in more extensive overhauls. The
Supervisor, the ship's Commanding Officer and the Contractor shall mutually agree that the ship is ready for sea, prior to getting underway
for sea trials. The scope of the sea trials shall be based on the extent of the work authorized in the Supervisor's Work Specification. The
Supervisor, in conjunction with the Commanding Officer, will determine the type and extent of the tests and trials. The agenda shall
identify installation of any test equipment or component modification that could impact the normal operation of equipment or systems in
carrying out the agenda. The agenda shall also identify any operating instructions or special tests which have been invoked which could
impact the normal operations of equipment or systems. Two copies of trial agendas should be provided to NAVSEA for information only.

SECTION 096
WEIGHTS

096a. Scope
This section contains requirements for weights on drawings and for preparing reports of estimated, calculated, and scale
weights required as a part of weight control.

096b. Definitions
Weight Control - The action necessary to ensure that the ship's weight and moments are consistent with naval
architectural requirements of displacement, stability, and ship's performance (such as predicting, estimating, reporting,
weighing, calculating, analyzing, evaluating, and corrective action).
Weight Reporting - That part of weight control which constitutes the technical presentation, at designated times, of the
most current weight and moment changes accomplished or to be accomplished on the ship.
Ship Conditions - Condition A (light ship), Condition B (minimum operating), Condition C (optimum battle), and
Condition D (full load) are defined in detail in Naval Ships' Technical Manual, NAVSEA S-9086-C6-STM-000/CH 096.
Estimated Weight - Weight computed from the best available information prior to actual drawings for the ship being
completed, such as historical data, ship alteration records, class drawings, and preliminary drawings.
Calculated Weight - Weight computed from actual drawings that will be issued to install, remove or relocate items on
the ship.
Scale Weight - Weight obtained by actual weighing of material, components, fittings, and equipment on a scale.
Vertical Lever - The perpendicular distance from a horizontal plane through the molded baseline of the ship to the
center of gravity of an item. Vertical levers shall be indicated by "+" for above and "-" for below the baseline.
Longitudinal Lever - The perpendicular distance from a transverse plane through the midship of the ship to the center
of gravity of an item. Longitudinal levers shall be indicated by "F" or "-" for forward, and "A" or "+" for aft of the reference
plane.
Transverse Lever - The perpendicular distance from the vertical centerline plane of the ship to the center of gravity of
the item. Transverse levers shall be indicated by "P" or "+" for port, and "S" or "-" for starboard.
Moment - The product of a weight and its respective levers.
Overhaul Stability Study - A set of calculations developed to determine effects that overhaul weight and moment
changes will have on the ship's stability, displacement, list, and trim.
Ballast Study - A set of calculations developed to determine the amount of permanent ballast required to compensate
for changes in the ship's center of gravity, list, or trim.
Weight and Moment Compensation Items - Obsolete and unused items no longer required for the operation or mission
of the ship which are proposed for removal, relocation, or replacement to reduce the ship's displacement or lower the ship's
vertical center of gravity.
Weight Classification Systems - Three digit weight elements used to classify ship's structure, components, systems,
fittings, and furnishings into weight categories according to their basic functions as defined in the following:
1. Bureau of Ships Consolidated Index of Drawings, Materials, and Services Related to Construction and
Conversion (BSCI), NAVSHIPS 902-002-2000.
2. Ship Work Breakdown Structure (SWBS), NAVSEA S9040-AA-IDX-010/SWBS.

096c. Determination of Weights


As drawings are prepared and material procured or received, weights and centers of gravity of items being added,
removed, or relocated shall be determined. These weights may be calculated or weighed, or a combination of both. The
latter means a calculation from drawings supplemented by the weighing of items that are difficult to calculate.
Government-furnished material shall be weighed and centers of gravity estimated if requested or if reliable information
is not available.
As determined by the Supervisor, scale weighing of selected material, components, fittings and equipment shall be
performed to establish the accuracy of calculated weights on drawings. The Supervisor shall witness the scale weighing of
selected items. Scales utilized for this purpose shall be calibrated in accordance with MIL-STD-45662 or NAVSEA
Instruction 4855.6. The Supervisor shall report to the Planning Yard by Liaison Action Record (Tech Spec 9090-100) if
there are differences between calculated weights on drawings versus scale weights. The Planning Yard shall revise
applicable drawings to reflect scale weights.
If changes occur in any previously reported components, systems, fittings, or furniture, a revised computation or scale
weighing of the item shall be made to obtain the more accurate weight and moment data.
Vendors shall be required to submit information on the dry weight and center of gravity, and operating weight (with
fluids) and center of gravity of major assemblies, equipment, components, or fittings to be installed on the ship. It is
suggested that information be submitted to the Contractor by vendors in the following sequence:
1. An estimate of the weight (pounds) shall be contained in the vendor's proposal for each major assembly,
equipment, component, or fitting. Estimated weight is only required if calculated or scale weight is not available.
2. Calculated weight (pounds) for each major assembly, equipment, component, or fitting when the vendor's
design is complete. Calculated weight is only required if scale weight is not available.
3. Scale weight (pounds) for each major assembly, equipment, component, or fitting.
The location of the center of gravity (dry and operating) for each item of equipment or separately mounted component
weighing over 100 pounds shall be shown and dimensioned on the outline, assembly, or installation drawing.

096d. Weights on Drawings


Accountability - Prior to issue, drawings and subsequent revisions shall include scale or calculated weight and levers
entered in the weight data block for Condition A items being added, removed and relocated. In addition, weight and levers
shall be provided for load item changes. Relocated weight shall be entered in the weight data block as both a removal and an
installation.
Drawings that record weight and levers shall reference other drawings that are used to calculate that data.
If an existing drawing is revised, weight and levers shall be calculated only for the revision and recorded in the weight
data block by that revision letter.
List of Materials- Ship drawings having a list of material shall list the unit weight for each distinct component except
for the following bulk items: steel, insulation, piping, pipe fittings, valves under 50 pounds, electrical cable, electrical
fittings, and other standard items of hardware. This requirement pertains to new drawings and modified drawings only to the
extent of each modification or revision. No back-fitting of weight data is required. In the list of material, identify
government furnished material.
Weight Data Block on Drawings - Weight data block of every drawing and subsequent revision shall be completed in
accordance with one of the following:
1. Enter the appropriate scale or calculated weight and levers (vertical, longitudinal and transverse) and
separate as follows: enter separate line item for each initial issue or revision; under each initial issue or revision, enter a
separate line item for each SHIPALT or work item; and under each SHIPALT or work item, utilizing the applicable weight
classification system, separate into the appropriate three-digit weight element. Each three-digit weight element shall be
separated into installed and removed weights. If applicable, nuclear category shall be listed. Load items shall be entered as a
separate line item and noted. Liquids in machinery at operating levels are not accounted for in allowance list, load list, or
tank capacity tables and shall be entered as a separate line item.
