Deck FTC (SS) Cahill.Manual Reverse Osmosis Desalinator: During the past few surveys, I noticed personnel are not aware of the Planned Maintenance System The PMS - Planned Maintenance System is a paper /Software based system which allows ship owners and/or operators of a vessel/ship maintenance in intervals according to manufacturers and class/Classification society requirements. (PMS (Pantone Matching System) A color matching system that has a unique number assigned to more than 500 different colors and shades. This standard for the printing industry has been built into many graphics and desktop publishing programs to ensure color accuracy. ) MIP MIP See: Monthly income preferred security : 5940/001 (Q-1R) for the Manual Reverse Osmosis Desalinator (MROD), step 1h., requires the sailor to "Place the unit in a plastic bag." Previous Force Revisions (FR) listed a plastic bag which did not fit the device. Device dimensions are called out as 3.70 inches wide by 5.70 inches in height by 22.4 inches in length. The SPMIG number has been updated for an 18 inch by 24 inch bag. This bag is not a Ziplock-type bag and does not have to be heat sealed. PMS card for MROD MIP: 5940/001 (48M-1), SPMIG number 11699 for Test Kit, is missing (NSN 4610-01-548-9743) required data and 11697 for Tool Kit (NSN 5180-01-549-6746). PMS TFBR has been submitted to correct the missing material items needed to complete the PMS. The 48M-1 maintenance requirement may require assistance from the Engineering Laboratory Technician (ELT) division for completion. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] MK1 Life Preserver: In February of 2009 we lost a sailor when he fell overboard and slipped out of his MK-1 Life Preserver. This casualty supported testing of Life Preservers by NAVSEA NAVSEA Naval Sea Systems Command NAVSEA Naval Avionics Support Equipment Appraisal (April 2009). Some specific items of interest for the submarine fleet from this mishap are: (1) Ensure proper weight of CO2 cylinders (24 gram - Mk1 Commercial and 29 gram Mk1 Military Specifications, only) NAVSEA message DTG 031933Z MAR 09 addressed this issue. (2) Ensure proper fit of Mk-1 Life Preserver using chest measurement in circumference = small 36 - 38, medium 40-42, large 44-46, X-large 48-50, and 2X-large 52-54. NAVSEA releases interim guidance for proper usage of deck safety equipment through messages, until Naval Ships Technical Manuals can be changed. The messages listed above are available on the Naval Safety Center website http://safetycenter.navy.mil/afloat/submarine/index.asp |
