INSURV Common Issues

• Lack of PMS detailed compliance!
• Lack of knowledge in Test Equipment usage.
• Lack of test cables.
• Lack of Khaki involvement in the maintenance
  process
• QA and follow-up.
• Saving maintenance for SRA, RAV
• Improper coating and preservation techniques.
• Poor work safety awareness.
• Alarms in cut-off.
• Missing placards.

15
INSURVNV/OP Lessons Learned

• Repeat deficiencies
• Calibration of gages, reducing valves, and
  charging hoses not within periodicity or not
  calibrated IAW applicable technical manuals.
• Surface Search Radars with excessive oil leakage,
  dirty oil, improper oil level
• Rudder angle indicators out of NSTM 562
  specification.
• Combat Systems cooling systems water conductivity
  not within specifications, poor valve
  maintenance, and leaks. COOLING SYSTEM
  DISCREPANCIES HIGH CONDUCTIVITY, HIGH TEMP, OR
  LOW FLOW WILL BE AN RBO FOR ALL AFFECTED
  EQUIPMENT!

16
INSURVNV/OP Lessons Learned

• Repeat Deficiencies
• Fathometer not maintained IAW PMS Showstopper!
• NAV Lights grounded, light boxes painted grey or
  white, tops missing.
• Bridge support equipment and signaling equipment
  missing, damaged or poorly maintained.
• Poor material condition of topside equipment (due
  to corrosion, lack of preservation or incorrect
  preservation).

Lack of PMS!
No OilOnly Water!
17
INSURV OP Lessons Learned - Aloft

• Climber safety rails are not properly installed
  or maintained. Stopper pins missing.
• Parachute type safety harnesses, working
  lanyards, safety lanyards and climber safety
  sleeves are in poor or unsafe condition and PMS
  is not performed prior to use.
• Aloft areas are not maintained.
• Life lines and life rails are improperly
  constructed and are not maintained.

Missing climber rail stopper pin.
18
INSURV OP Lessons Learned

• Khaki climb masts periodically! Amazing what is
  found!
• Examples include
• FOD such as nails, screws, wire and washers
• Inop or unlabeled antenna cutout switches
• Trip hazards.
• Leads to Safety issues directly noted at
  CPO/DIVO level. Training!
• Possibility preventing major property damage or
  even loss of life.

Unlabeled antenna cutout switches.
Corroded safety rail
