Overview Board of Inspection and Survey –Mission/Goals –Changes –Who We Are Fleet Scorecard Trends Path to Success –Challenges –Initiatives

INSURV Mission “... To periodically ascertain and report on the material condition and performance capabilities or limitations of navy ships;...”

INSURV Goal To independently verify that our ships are materially combat ready to take our Sailors into harm’s way

INSURV Goal Develop cooperative energy among stakeholders to improve material readiness on a continuing basis.

‘Recent’ InSurv Changes Terminations -> Limited MIs U/W (was Day #2) is now Day #3 Inspection Periodicities Functional Org vice Team Org

MI TRENDS (Surface ships)

MI TRENDS (Submarines) Functional Areas Overall - Solid Performance …

The “brain” and the “sword” are sound. Some critical vital organs are weak (Damage Control, Propulsion, Electrical/Aux). How could we do DC differently or change DC capabilities while still guaranteeing crew safety? For today’s ships? For tomorrow’s ships? MCM/MHC, LSD, CG systems are “aging” too fast. What can be done to arrest these conditions? Does everyone understand shipboard material standards? How do we improve self-assessment capability? How do we verify progress/status?Challenges

What Needs Attention Technical Issues: Oily Water Separators/Oil Content Monitors Initial Point Detection System (IPDS) Air Flow Alarms Vertical Package Conveyors/Elevators Watertight Doors Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Detectors Halocarbon Monitors

What Needs Attention Disciplines: PMS Accomplishment Zone Inspection Program EOSS/CSOSS Usage Self-Assessment Capability Outside Assessment Cycle Equipment Ownership DC – Org & Training Fuel Oil/Lube Oil leaks OPA Systems CHT Systems Auxiliary Systems Valve Maintenance Gage Calibration

InSurv Support Initiatives Qtrly SEA 05 Meetings SATs (Self Assessment Training visits) BG Lessons Learned Briefs AR (Annual Report) exchange w/ TyComs RAMs (Recommended Action Msgs)/ TIPs (Technical Issue Papers) GCC (Grading Criteria Conference) Review STANCO (Standardization Conference)

Summary Material Health of the Fleet – mixed. - Good: Combat Systems/OPS/Deck - Poor: DC/Auxiliaries/Environmental Protection Leading Issues in Poor Performing Ships: - PMS: inadequate performance - Standards: too low/not understood/not enforced - Ownership

Your systems better be ready to fight … they won’t get a second chance
