3. Navy Salvage: SECNAV & CNO Assigned Missions  Authority: 10 U.S.C. §7361-7364 (Salvage Facilities Act) authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to provide necessary salvage facilities; and to provide Oil Spill Response Capability.  33 CFR Part 155 (OPA-90) requires Salvage and Marine Firefighting; and Oil Pollution Response capability in VRPs (MSC and Navy exercise Voluntary Compliance  SECNAVINST 4740.1B delegates Secretarial authority of SFA to SUPSALV - “…the Supervisor of Salvage … is delegated all Secretarial authority in [10 U.S.C. 7361-7364] to provide salvage facilities for public and private vessels, and to acquire and transfer vessels and other salvage equipment.”  OPNAV 5090.1C is Navy’s Environmental Requirement and Policy and directs Vessels comply with the planning requirements of OPA- 90 (33CFR155) despite a legal exemption as a “public vessel”.  OPNAV 4740.2G is Navy’s Salvage Requirement and Policy

4.  OPNAV 4740.2G - Navy’s Salvage Requirement and Policy and directs SUPSALV: Undersea Ops: Maintain and operate deep ocean search and recovery assets to a maximum depth of at least 20,000 feet of water. Salvage Ops: Assume responsibility for any salvage or recovery operation when so assigned…” and Coordinate salvage and recovery services… Salvage Support: Provide Fleet Commanders with equipment and systems to assist in the accomplishment of salvage and recovery missions and Provide for procurement, maintenance, and distribution of salvage and related pollution abatement material to the Emergency Ship Salvage Material (ESSM) bases. SUPSALV Assigned Missions  OPNAVINST 5090.1C - Navy’s Environmental Requirement and Policy and directs that SUPSALV: Ensure Navy’s Equipment inventory for major and offshore spill events is drilled/exercised in accordance with this document. Provide expertise and equipment …for spills exceeding local capability… Provide advice, personnel, and equipment, as appropriate for joint/pollution operations. Assist NOSCs in major OHS pollution response issues as they arise and in decision-making for major or offshore/salvage related response operations.

9. 9 Salvage Capability PORT ROYAL Lessons Learned   Unclear FLT salvage task organization/structure for effective management of complex salvage operation  Poor prioritization of effort: surveys, use of platforms, weight removal, etc.  Salvage Core Competency degraded and spread between leadership communities  Ships: Operationally Obsolete + Spread Thin + Aging

10. 10  Fleet Salvage Task Organization; leverage the TRIAD in Doctrine, OPORDs  C3F, C5F OPORD revised and CPF OPORD and joint USFF/CPF instruction in final draft  NWP and OPNAV 4740.2 revised  Human Capital – Degraded Salvage Competency, spread between leadership communities; 1140 – 1440 – CWOs  Core Competency in NDSTC curriculum – SSD and salvage; CBT salvage course; 1140 and SSD course  1440 billets at MDSUs  MDSU ULT critical – ESSM Support and T-ARS integration; Salvage Training Hulk  Salvage Ship Recapitalization – Capability and Numbers  ESC coordinated capability requirements – bollard pull, DP, interoperable deck space, etc. AofA/SAG in progress and Gate 2 R3B this summer  Push for commercially available solution  GoM AHT  Funding $$ Navy Salvage Key Challenges Navy Salvage Key Challenges

27. 27 Senior Warfighter Forum (SWARF) conducted 25 Aug 2009. Resources and Requirements Review Board (R3B) approved entrance into Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) 10 Dec 2010. Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) approved 21 Mar 2011. Analysis of Alternatives to complete Spring 2012. NAVSEA develop concept designs and cost estimates. CNA review Demand vs Ship Numbers vs Acquisition Method. Completed Activities

28. 28 3 Concept Designs developed for cost estimating: T-ATF(R) – Direct T-ATF 166 replacement with no capability increase. T-ATF(X) – Increased capabilities to meet T-ATF requirements with limited salvage support. T-ATS(X) – Common hull replacement for T-ATF and T-ARS mission requirements. “Excursion” cost estimates developed for incremental capability increases: Analysis of Alternatives: Concept Designs Bollard Pull Deck Area (Sub Rescue) Dynamic Positioning Firefighting Survivability Ice Hardening Crane

30. 30 Analysis of Alternatives: Center for Naval Analysis  Evaluate Required Number of Ships: Peacetime Demand 2008 to Present = ~9 ships Wartime Demand less than Peacetime Peacetime Tasking prioritized by mission & unmet tasking determined based on # of ships  Lease vs Buy RFI for Lease of Offshore Support Vessels Few responders met major requirements Cost effective over 40yr life to purchase but reduces flexibility

31. 31 Way Ahead  MAR 2012: AoA Completion w/ Recommendations  N42 has Qs on $$  Study why  MAY-JUN 2012: Gate 2 & Material Development Decision Approval of “Preferred Alternative”  Late FY12/Early FY13: Gate 3 & MS A Approval of CDD and CONOPS  Late FY13: RFP for Preliminary Design
