The Ship Energy Conservation Assist Team (SECAT) program was initiated in Fiscal Year (FY) 82 by the Naval Sea systems Command (NAVSEA) to demonstrate and introduce individual Ship Commands to known energy conserving techniques without adding equipment complexity or additional maintenance burden. The principal objective is to provide each ship with an energy consumption, coupled with recommended energy conservation strategies. The technique involves both in-port and underway monitoring and introduction of energy efficient machinery plant alignments, fuel consumption curve generation, and most efficient speed curves. The program has completed visits on six combatants and enjoys the support of both the Commander, Naval Surface Forces, U.S. Atlantic Fleet (COMNAVSURFLANT) and the Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet (CINCLANT). Plans are to perform SECAT on additional DDG 2 and FF 1052/1078 Class ships and initiate SECAT on additional ship types in FY 83.

This paper describes a multiyear program to make an operational assessment on the feasibility of a year-round Arctic marine transportation system to serve Alaska. Specifically, the three objectives were to: collect meteorological and ice data along potential marine routes; instrument the hull and propulsion machinery to improve design critera for ice-worthy ships; and demonstrate that ships can operate in midwinter Alaskan Arctic ice conditions. The U.S. Coast Guard's Polar class icebreakers were used to make the operational assessment by annually extending the route northward and by operating throughout the winter season. This paper reviews some of the operational and technical achievements to date, as well as plans for future Arctic deployments.

A proposed cost effective alternative to current U.S. Navy structurally configured hulls is presented in this paper. This proposed design for producibility concept involves the elimination of structural stanchions and transverse web frames. The potential impact of this “no frame” concept on structural design, weight and construction and material costs for naval surface frigates and destroyers is reflected in 1) reduced costs for the installation of distributive systems and 2) a reduced number and complexity of structural details providing a more reliable and less costly structure. This study was performed in three parts: 1) Determine the most feasible length between bulkheads without frames; 2) Using this length perform detail weight studies and construction and material costs analysis comparison on a 72-foot long hull module, with and without frames, for a FFG-7, and 3) Estimate the saving in man hours of labor on the installation of distributive systems and shipfitting for an FFG-7. For the feasible length studies on the “no frame” structural configuration, thirty-seven strength, weight and vertical center of gravity studies were performed on two ship classes; twenty-two on the FFG-7 class and fifteen on the DD-963 class. The detailed weight studies and construction and material cost analyses were conducted for FFG-7 “no frame” and “as built” modules. Results indicating the “no frame” concept module was 6.8% heavier and 14.8% less costly than the “as built” module. For the impact of an FFG-7 “no frame” structurally configured hull on the cost of labor required for the installation of distributive systems and for other functional work such as ship fitting, welding, and electrical, this study indicated a reduction of 169,206 labor hours per ship, representing 7.12% of the total required man hours to fabricate an FFG-7 class ship. With the employment of the “no frame” concept, certain areas of significant concern and potential risk were addressed. These include: 1) t

A research group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has completed the first phase of the development of a computer assisted model for analyzing complex decisions and policies regarding oil spill cleanup. The model is the product of an ongoing MIT Sea Grant project, sponsored by a consortium of government and industry organizations, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. C oast G uard , the U.S. N avy , the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Spill Control Association of America, JFB Scientific Corporation, the Doherty Foundation, Petro-Canada and Texaco. The model can be used, among other things, in strategic planning for the long-term oil spill response needs of a region, in assisting On Scene Coordinators in responding to a specific spill (tactical/operational setting), in evaluating the environmental and economic damages of a spill versus the cost of cleanup, in simulation and training, and in the analysis of various policy and regulatory issues such as the effects of delays, the use of dispersants and the investigation of liability and compensation issues. The paper describes the model in detail, focuses on its potential uses and presents experience with its application in conjunction with pollution control efforts of the U.S. Navy. Specifically, we outline the application of the model in the Port of Charleston, South Carolina, an ongoing project sponsored by the Naval Facilities engineering Command. The difficulty of gathering data for such an application is discussed.

Technology is placed in the clusters of the industrial base and the clusters are defined. The clusters are blended with different sets of economic condition and the preservation of earning power established as the objective function for any investment. The link between the clusters, the environment and the objective function is established through taxes and the tax impact on depreciation time and replacement value is analyzed. This analysis is used to discuss the decision process for industrial-technological investment. The observations made in the annalysis are summarized and suggestions are made on how to respond to reality.

Early in 1979, the Commander in Chief, United States Pacific Fleet requested that alternate procedures be explored for overhaul of the USS Sacramento (AOE-1). Of particular concern was the availability of the ship to accomplish alterations and repair planning prior to the start of the overhaul and the history of AOE Class ships not being completed in the private sector within the scheduled availability time. The planning type contract concept wherein pre-overhaul tests and inspections, preparation of drawings, procurement of long lead time material and detailed overhauling planning and scheduling would be accomplished by the successful Contractor was one approach requested for major consideration. In July 1979, the decision was made to proceed with the planning contract concept for overhaul of the USS Sacramento. The Request for Proposals (RFP's) were issued to industry in November 1979 with contract award to Lockheed Ship building and Construction Company (LSCC) on 4 February 1980. In September 1980, the overhaul for USS Sacramento was classified by the Navy as “complex”, confirming specific management action and attention to be given during the planning and overhaul phases. This technical paper describes the application of the planning contract concept to the planning and overhaul of USS Sacramento. Actual experiences including issue of the negotiated Request for Proposals (RFP's), performing pre-overhaul test and inspections (POT & I) procedures, accomplishing ship check and drawing preparation, and scheduling, including proper phasing of all elements and critical path analysis, will be reviewed in detail. Comparisons to conventional procedures will be made, along with concepts for modifying the methods employed to custom fit the characteristics of future overhauls. The closure will include a summary of “lessons learned” to date with specific recommendations for application of procedures to future overhauls.

“A winch is a winch is a winch” does not apply to the complex and unique deck machinery used by the U.S. NAVY today for underway replenishment (UNREP) of fuel, ammo and stores - the modern UNREP winch. It must be designed to compensate for the relative motion of the two ships while underway 150 feet apart, at 12 knots, in up to sea state 5; while transferring large, sensitive missiles between ships at a rapid rate. Late in 1977, following a senior task force review of serious problems, Naval Sea systems Command (NAVSEA) put the UNREP systems and equipment at the top of a list of equipment designated as requiring “special technical support” during overhaul.[1] This paper reviews the background that leads to equipping the modern UNREP fleet with this equipment, the problems encountered maintaining the equipment, and the workings of a special Pacific Fleet (PACFLT) UNREP winch overhaul program. After 4 years of operation, this program is providing a quality overhaul in a cost-effective manner.
