Subj: ARCTIC WEST SUMMER 2006 CRUISE REPORT Ref: (a) Polar Icebreaker Cruise Reports, COMDTINST 16155.2B 1. This report is submitted in accordance with reference (a) and covers the period from 30 April 2006 to 03 September 2006.

2. HEALY completed two missions to support Arctic research during AWS-06. HLY 6-01 and 6-02. The first mission was a thirty-day study of benthos. This phase was in continuation of a long-term (1950-present) study of the benthos in the Bering Sea near Saint Lawrence Island, and involved 118 stations in 26 days and over 1,000 over-the-side evolutions. HEALY’s second mission was a scheduled forty-day study was for the collection of seismic data on the Chuckchi Borderland including the Northwind Ridge, Chuckchi Plateau, and the Medeleev Ridge. The civilian helicopters played an important role in the distribution of the 90 lb seismometers onto the ice flows at 6 mile intervals over three different 85-mile tracks. 165 miles of seismic data was collected during 84 total hours of towing a 7,000 lb caged pneumatic device close astern. A total of 40 science party personnel, 2 helicopters and 5 aviation personnel participated in this science endeavor. During this mission HEALY also completed several over-the-side gravity cores and jumbo cores of the Chuckchi Borderland. The mission, scheduled to conclude on August 28th was cut short by the Class A scuba diving MISHAP and loss of life on August 17th. After flying our shipmates ashore in Barrow, HEALY received visits from the Commandant, Pacific Area Commander, and District Seventeen Commander. The Critical Incident stress Management Team (9 persons), Administration Investigation board (3 persons) and MISHAP Analysis Board (5 persons) embarked in Barrow, AK and made the transit to Kodiak, AK where the crew had a four-day port call for rest before returning home on September 3rd.

3. In addition to the science missions, HEALY was involved in the MEDEVAC of an injured sailor off the sailing vessel JERSEY CLIPPER. During gale condition winds and seas the injured crewman was successfully retrieved by HEALY’s RHI small boat. The injured sailor was later transported, by Coast Guard Helicopter, to shore side medical. The rescue was successful and had no impact on science operations. HEALY also took part in her very first Tailored Ship’s Training Availability- TSTA from June 12th to July 6th. HEALY completed TSTA with flying colors and earned the Coast Guard “E” ribbon for all hands.

4. During Arctic West Summer 06, HEALY provided 66 supported science days, large number of which was above the Arctic Circle. AWS 1-06 and 2-06 missions met or

exceeded research goals. HEALY has continued to demonstrate that it is the premier platform from which to conduct polar scientific operations.

CHAPTER I – SHIP OPERATIONS 1. Summary

A. Deployment Preparations 1. Cruise planning for the 2006 deployment began in October 2005 during the

transit from Tromso, Norway to Seattle (via the Panama Canal) at the conclusion of the 2005 deployment. By December 2005, the National Science Foundation had identified the assigned missions with appropriate timeframes. In January 2006, HEALY hosted ship visits for each of the assigned Chief Scientists to tour the spaces, meet person to person with their counterparts and fine tune the calendar days during which Science Party members or equipment would embark or be loaded/ unloaded.

AWS-06 was set forth as follows:

30 Apr Depart Homeport Seattle en route Dutch Harbor 07 May - 05 Jun AWS 06-01 (30 day Lovvorn / Grebmeier Biological) 12 Jun Arrive Homeport Seattle for Navy Training 06 Jul Conclude Navy Training 07 Jul - 18 Jul Transit Seattle to Barrow 18 Jul - 28 Aug AWS 06-02 (40 day Lawver Geo-Physical)* 30 Aug – 04 Sep 5 day working port call in Dutch Harbor 09 Sep - 08 Oct AWS 06-03 (30 day Mayer Bottom Mapping) 09 Oct – 22 Oct AWS 06-04 (14 day Reves-Sohn AUV Op-Test & Evaluation) 05 Nov Return to Seattle, prepare for Drydock

*It should be noted that AWS 06-02 was terminated on August 17th following the tragic class-A scuba diving MISHAP involving the loss of life of LT Jessica Hill and BM2 Steven Duque. Ultimately, the remainder of the deployment was cancelled and HEALY returned to Seattle on September 3rd. 2. February 2006 marked the commencement of decisive planning for the

civilian helicopter contract also. Helicopter needs were itemized for each o the science missions and NSF determined how best to fit the needs. Once the specific needs were put into writing, NSF solicited support through their Arctic Logistics Coordinator, VECO Polar Resources. The contract was eventually let to Maritime Helicopters Company of Homer and Anchorage, AK with inter-governmental oversight provided by the Department of the Interior's National Business Center's Aviation Management Directorate (DOI's NBC's AMD). This organization was formerly known as the Office of Aviation Safety (OAS). HEALY received a waiver from the aviation oversight office of Coast Guard Headquarters and the contract became final.

3. In early March 2006, HEALY had completed extensive dockside maintenance

and got underway for a 4 day engine trial to test a propulsion upgrade.

I-2

HEALY sailed on March 4th, making it 100 days since mooring on November 28th, 2005.

4. The Shakedown Cruise was completed between March 28th and April 7th and

included ship's operations, emergency drills and exercises, science systems testing and a 2 day port call in Victoria, Canada. The beginning of the Shakedown also included the biennial Coast Guard aviation standardization visit (STAN). Despite the fact HEALY was scheduled to embark civilian and not Coast Guard helicopters, it is still deemed critical to maintain familiarity with Coast Guard flight procedures.

B. Seattle - Dutch Harbor, April 30th - May 6th

1. HEALY sailed on Sunday, April 30th for the 6 day transit to Dutch Harbor. En route, HEALY was diverted 300 miles south to affect the MEDEVAC of an injured sailor off the sailing vessel JERSEY CLIPPER. During gale condition winds and seas, the injured crewman was successfully retrieved from the sailing vessel via HEALY's RHI small boat. HEALY resumed the transit to Dutch Harbor and once within range, a Coast Guard helicopter affected further MEDEVAC transfer to shore side medical. The civilian sailor in question made a full recovery ashore and HEALY arrived in Dutch Harbor without delay. Also during this transit, HEALY was evaluated for training readiness by the U.S. Navy's Afloat Training Group (ATG). The results of this readiness check were used to craft a training plan for the 3 week training availability scheduled from mid June to early July in Everett, WA. See paragraph 1.D. below.

Sailing Vessel JERSEY CLIPPER.

I-3

C. AWS 06-01 (30 day NSF Lovvorn/Grebmeier Biological), May 7th - June 5th 1. The Phase I Science Party embarked in Dutch Harbor as did the single civilian

Maritime Helicopter (Company) Bell 206L3 "Long Ranger III" and it's support contingent - 1 AMD Manager, 1 Pilot and 1 Mechanic. During the course of this phase of science, HEALY continued a long-term (1950 - present) assessment of benthos in the Bering Sea near Saint Lawrence Island. HEALY completed 118 stations in 26 days including 1,004 over-the-side evolutions (553 vanVeen bottom grabs, 126 CTD casts, 102 zooplankton nets, 98 Haps bottom cores, 74 otter bottom trawls and 71 UV meter dips.) The helicopter disembarked 5 days prior to the end of this phase of science when it was determined as no longer needed.

D. Dutch Harbor - Seattle, Navy Training in Everett, WA, June 6th - July 7th

1. HEALY was hosted by the Everett, Washington Naval Station for 3 weeks of intensive emergency and operational training (Tailored Ship's Training Availability - TSTA) from June 12th to July 6th. The transit to and from the Bering Sea operating area combined with the duration of training essentially resulted in a 40 day employment. Training focused on engineering casualty control, damage control in the event of a collision, hull breach or system failure, personnel medical response and mass casualties, communications via all available mediums, small boat operations, HEALY towing, precision navigation, anchoring, low visibility piloting and navigation system failures. The operational tempo of the 3 weeks of training was exhausting and difficult to maintain for the long period, but HEALY was able to complete the training with flying colors, which resulted in the earning of the Coast Guard “E” ribbon for all hands. HEALY was also able to benefit from being in close proximity to Seattle during a rare summer home visit.

I-4

E. Seattle - Barrow, July 8th - July 17th 1. This ten day ‘empty-handed’ and science free transit over the 3,000 NM from

Seattle to Barrow was a reasonable opportunity to afford much needed crew rest after the intensity of TSTA.

F. AWS 06-02 (40 day NSF Lawver Geo-Physical), July 18th - August 17th

1. HEALY arrived offshore Barrow on July 18th in anticipation of embarking the Phase II Science Party. The fast ice conditions of the rumble field engulfing the entire Northslope of Alaska which were devastating to transit times and causing HEALY to hove-to, in the ice, to conserve fuel. Soon after the embarkation of the 40 person party, 2 helicopters and 5 aviation personnel, HEALY remained hove-to and drifted easterly with the pack.

2. On day 4 we were able to transit freely to the north. This science mission was

for the collection of seismic data on the Chuckchi Borderland including the Northwind Ridge, Chuckchi Plateau and Medeleev Ridge. Helicopters deployed 90 lb seismometers onto ice floes at 6 mile intervals along three pre-designated tracks at 85 miles each. 165 miles of seismic data was collected during 84 total hours towing the 7,000 lb caged pneumatic device close astern. This mission also included coring on the Chuckchi Borderland and HEALY collected five benthos gravity cores for three meters of sample, three large gravity cores for seven meters of sample and nine jumbo piston cores for 51 meters of sample.

3. As stated previously, this mission was scheduled thru August 28th but was

terminated after the scuba diving MISHAP and loss of life on August 17th. After flying the deceased ashore in Barrow, HEALY received visits by the Commandant, Pacific Area Commander and District Seventeen Commander. Also embarked were the Critical Incident Stress Management Team (9

persons), Administrative Investigation Board (3 person) and MISHAP Analysis Board (5 persons). The decision was made by the Pacific Area Commander on August 25th for HEALY to return home to Seattle and conclude the AWS-06 deployment. After a four day crew-rest port call in Kodiak from 26-30 August, HEALY arrived in Seattle on September 3rd.

2. Navigation Operations

A. Seattle, Washington: 30 April 2006 1. U/W @ 1455T From Berth Alpha, Pier 36, USCG ISC Seattle, WA to

commence Arctic West Summer 2006. No tug or pilot was used. All Bridge equipment was operational and working properly. Winds were light (less than 10 knots) from the SW. The tide was minus two feet and the current was flooding at less than ½ knot. CAPT OLIVER conned HEALY underway. Once clear of the pier the Captain twisted to port and proceeded on the outbound track line. As HEALY entered Elliott Bay, it encountered heavy small boat traffic and the east-west ferry routes; the Captain ordered 10 knots of speed and arranged for the eastbound ferry to pass north of our track. HEALY entered the northbound traffic scheme and headed outbound for sea. HEALY transited the North Pacific Ocean on a great circle route directly to Unimak Pass, but was diverted to assist the S/V Jersey Clipper with a medical evacuation. HEALY UCN-01-2006.

B. Dutch Harbor, Alaska: 06 May to 07 May 2006 1. HEALY Transited the Akutan Pass from south to the north during heavy snow

showers and a strong EBB current of 113-T at 3 knots enroute Dutch Harbor.

ADM Allen speaks with HEALY crew.

HEALY moored portside to the City Pier, just south of the Unalaska Marine Center USCG Dock, Dutch Harbor, Alaska @ 1740U on 06 May 2006. The Conning Officer ENS BUSER approached the pier using standard helm commands, without an experienced pilot onboard. The tug: JAMES DUNLAP was made off to the STBD quarter but was not used. Light traffic was encountered on the approaches and our track into the harbor was similar to the route from all previous trips into Dutch Harbor. Winds were light and variable, as were currents; the state of tide was +1.1 feet and Falling. Range of tide during the ship’s stay averaged 3.4 feet. Good water leading up to pier allows for a port or starboard side landing with the pier face at 045 degrees true. Healy only took a water tie for the 24hr stay.

2. HEALY departed Dutch Harbor @ 1608U 07 May 2006, with light winds and currents. The tide was +1 foot and rising. The Conning Officer, LCDR DALITSCH backed away and turned to port without a tug or pilot for departure. HEALY stood into the Bering Sea and Headed North to begin the first science mission of the trip.

C. Dutch Harbor, Alaska: 05 June to 06 June 2006 1. HEALY Approached from the North enroute Dutch Harbor. HEALY moored

portside to the Unalaska Marine Center (USCG Dock), Dutch Harbor, Alaska @ 0703U on 06 June 2006. The Conning Officer LT HILL approached the pier using standard helm commands, without an experienced pilot onboard. The tug: JAMES DUNLAP was made off to the STBD quarter but was not used. Light traffic was encountered on the approaches and our track into the harbor was similar to the route from all previous trips into Dutch Harbor. Winds were calm, and the current was less than one knot. The state of tide

I-7

was +1.6 feet and Falling. Range of tide during the ship’s stay averaged 2.7 feet. Good water 60 feet, leading up to pier allows for a port or starboard side landing with the pier face at 052 degrees true. Healy took water, cable, telephone and internet via shore tie for the 24hr stay.

2. HEALY departed Dutch Harbor @ 1537U 06 June 2006, with light winds and currents. The tide was +1.3 feet and rising. The Conning Officer, LCDR DALITSCH backed away and turned to port without the use of a tug or pilot for departure. HEALY stood into the Bering Sea and Headed East to Unimak Pass for the 1700 mile transit to Seattle.

D. Seattle Washington: 12 June to 19 June 2006 1. Upon completing the first phase of

AWS-2006 HEALY returned to Seattle for a week of liberty follow by three weeks of TSTA training in Everett. After steaming 1700 miles HEALY returned on a Sunday and transited Puget Sound to berth Alpha at ISC Seattle. The Conning Officer, ENS BIEMILLER, used the Tug GUIDE to assist; winds were light as were currents. HEALY moored at 1600T and began a week of well earned liberty.

E. Everett, Washington: 19 June to 06 July 2006

1. HEALY transited Puget Sound North to Possession Sound and into NAVSTA Everett, Washington for Tailor Ships Availability Training. The Approach to the Navel Station was direct and HEALY noticed little current flowing from the river entrance near the Navy Pier. HEALY operated in the area for two weeks, pulling in and out of this pier without any problems. Navel Station Everett provided all services with ease.

F. Nome, Alaska (anchored) 16 July 2006 1. At 0947U 16 July 2006 HEALY anchored in position: 64-28.169N 165-

25.907W, depth 57 feet, with three shots of chain from the port anchor to a sand and gravel bottom. Winds were from the south @ 10-12 knots, although toward the end of the afternoon the winds did gust upwards to 20 knots. In these conditions and given HEALY was 3NM south of the new harbor entrance the anchorage did provide a good holding ground. The purpose of the anchoring was to recover passengers and cargo from NOME. Offloads were conducted using both RHIs and the LCVP. At 1346U HEALY weighed anchor en route Point Barrow, Alaska.

SN Kenney and SN Baker welcome you to Nome, AK.

I-9

G. Kodiak, Alaska: 26 August to 30 August 2006 1. After 53 days at sea HEALY approached Saint Paul Harbor from the East.

HEALY transited close aboard to Humpback Rocks, then proceeded to the safe water “SP” Buoy and through the gated buoys and moored portside to the Kodiak City Pier # 2 in Kodiak, Alaska @ 0904U on 26 August 2006. The Conning Officer LCDR DALITSCH approached the pier using standard helm commands, with an experienced harbor pilot onboard. The tug: KODIAK KING was made off to the Starboard quarter but was used very little. Light traffic was encountered on the approaches and our track into the harbor was standard due to the shallow depth on the approach to the pier. Winds were calm, and the current was less than one knot. The state of tide was +0.4 feet and falling. The range of tide during the ship’s visit averaged 8.5 feet. Good water of 38 feet, leading up to pier allows for a port or starboard side landing with the pier face at 085 degrees true. HEALY took water, telephone via shore tie for the 4 day Break.

HEALY moored at Pier 2 Kodiak, Alaska Depth 38 feet pier side.

2. HEALY departed Kodiak City Pier # 2, Saint Paul Harbor @ 1400U on 30 August 2006 to return to Seattle. The winds were light as were the currents. The tide was +4.0 feet and rising and heavy fog was in and out. The Conning Officer, ENS NEWTON was assisted by the Kodiak Harbor Pilot, Jack Johnson who had the Tug KODIAK KING, pull easy from the Starboard quarter as HEALY used their bow thruster to starboard to move 150 ft off the pier, HEALY then twisted to starboard and proceeded outbound on the navigation track. HEALY stood into the Gulf of Alaska and Headed Homeward bound.

I-10

H. Seattle, Washington: 03 September 2006 1. After 183 days away from home port, 17,683 nautical miles and completing

two science missions, HEALY Moored at 1309T on 03 September 2006 @ Berth Alpha, Pier 36, USCG ISC Seattle, WA. Currents were light, with light winds from the North. ENS NEWTON was the Conning Officer and made a slow and direct approach without the use of a Pilot, the Tug GUIDE assisted and was made off to the port quarter to push easy due to the lack of maneuvering room. Mooring was accomplished using standard commands on the engines and bow thruster completing AWS-2006.

3. Deck Operations A. Pre-Deployment Preparations

1. During the Dock Side Availability, Deck Force provided inspectors and equipment operators for painting, weight handling and ground tackle work. Level 2 overhauls were completed on the Port and Starboard 04 Cranes and the Port Aft Crane. Level 1 inspections were completed on remaining cranes and Miranda davits. A prototype Load Management Indicator was installed on the Starboard Aft Crane and will be evaluated this patrol. All miscellaneous weight handling equipment was weight tested.

2. Storm damage repairs were made to various forecastle fittings as well as the

Bow Crane. The broken port anchor was removed and replaced. The forecastle ground tackle was returned to its standard configuration. Deck Division also supervised the paint contractor in renewing the deck on the fantail, the aft staging and working areas, along with patchwork renewal of flight deck nonskid. Cosmetic preservation was completed on 01 and 02 athwartship passageways and on the decks of multiple fan spaces/engineering spaces.

3. Healy 2 had its engine replaced due to CASREP 06010; the scheduled

installation of replacement sponson was not completed due to improper part shipment. Installation is scheduled for 13 June while ship is in Seattle.

4. During the two-week shakedown cruise, Deck Force assisted in Deck Landing

Qualification’s (DLQ) fully qualifying 2 Landing Signal Officers (LSO) and 2 Tie-down crewmembers. Deck also conducted boat crewmember and bridge watchstander training, making good progress towards qualifications of 3 seamen. Aviation STAN was completed with one discrepancy due to a mechanical failure of the Helicopter In-Flight Refueling (HIFR) hose. A replacement hose is being procured.

5. The week prior to deployment a Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR)

certification of the Healy was conducted on short notice. This triennial inspection had not been scheduled due to an oversight and the deck division, as well as the affected divisions in engineering, was able to quickly pull together and complete full certification with the exception of the preexisting HIFR discrepancy. This is a testament to the Coast Guard motto of Semper Paratus “Always Ready”.

B. Seattle to Dutch Harbor/CART

1. During the transit from Seattle and during the first phase of science, qualifications for newly reported personnel continued in anticipation of a heavy personnel changeover throughout the summer that would include the loss of 5 petty officers and 3 nonrates.

I-12

2. HEALY was diverted to a distress call from the S/V Jersey Clipper. HEALY’s small boat crew handled the situation with professionalism and poise, rescuing and ensuring the safety of the mariner.

HEALY small boat crew maneuvers itself along side the

Sailing Vessel Jersey Clipper.

The Skipper of Jersey Clipper writes this report of the evacuation of their injured crewmember:

Jersey Clipper and USCG Cutter Healy swapped position information via email, and from the plots it could be seen were on a direct interception course. As she got closer we made contact via first medium and then short range radio, and the Operations Officer on board talked us through how they were planning on doing the transfer. She loomed out of the fog when about 3 miles away - all 128m of her! What we didn't realize is that rather than being one of the usual coastal patrol vessels, she's actually an icebreaker/research ship. At this point I had to forcibly restrain some of the crew who were looking to quickly inflict any minor injury that would get them off too.

The Healy came as close as was safe, and lowered her 6.4 m rigid inflatable boat (RIB) Healy 1 down to the water. This was about a 15m drop. The 4 man crew of Healy 1 took a few minutes to get used to the sea state (it was, of course, blowing a nice steady force 7, gusting regularly up to gale force 8) and then made their approach. We had a mooring line ready for them, which they quickly lashed to the bow of Healy 1 (great throw by Mark from Jersey, the line hit them in the right place at the right time), the teabags were thrown on board by the Healy 1 bowman (more on that later) Hugh was thrown on board Healy 1 by Kate and Bernie (not literally, but it wasn't delicate) where he was caught by 2 crewmen, the mooring line was cut (quickest way) and the Healy 1 coxswain powered her away from us and into open water. All very quick and very professional, with both crews working really well. Healy 1 then made her

I-13

way back towards the Healy, getting completely airborne over one particularly sharp wave, and we turned around to take station just aft and downwind of the Healy in case anyone fell in during the recovery of Healy 1 on to the Healy. This operation was very good to watch - the crew of the Healy have obviously done this before. Healy 1 came alongside the Healy (which was making an excellent shelter from the wind and some of the waves), and she was scooped out of the water with all the crew and Hugh still in, lifted up 15m to the main deck and then secured. At this point the operation was complete, and the Healy disappeared off into the fog with much waving, and we set about making our way to Victoria.

There was much superb work done here. The USCG Healy cannot be thanked enough, and Captain Dan Oliver and his crew are a very professional, competent and generous group of people. The 4 man RIB crew was superb, and could not have managed the transfer or the conditions better. The crew of Jersey Clipper worked just as professionally, and with any transfer at sea in rough weather the crew work on both vessels has to be spot on. Well done to all.

Now, on to the tea. Quite embarrassingly for a Jersey flagged and registered vessel we had run out of teabags (we had some flowery stuff left, but that doesn't count) and sugar. I asked the Healy if we could swap real coffee for tea, and Bosun's Mate Ed Traver, who is apparently the only tea drinker on board the Healy, managed to get us a box of RNLI Lifeboatmen's Teabags, a packet of Hobnobs, a packet of Ginger Nuts and loads of sugar - how's that for putting the icing on the cake of a proper rescue operation!

C. AWS 1-06

1. The first phase of AWS 06 was not a deck intensive science phase. Boat operations were conducted to collect ice samples, surveying of marine mammals and a single attempt for obtaining a tissue sample from a seal with a crossbow brought by the science party was unsuccessful.

Gay Sheffield takes aim at a seal, trying to obtain a tissue sample.

I-14

2. Qualifications for both bridge watchstations and small boat operations continued as just as they had during the transit to Dutch Harbor, in readiness of the personnel transfer to come once HEALY reaches Seattle.

3. Commercially contracted aviation support was the biggest change for deck

division during this phase. Incorporating Coast Guard standards to civilian pilots flying a Bell helicopter was the largest hurdle. Crew for the Bell Long Ranger Helicopter included one pilot, one mechanic and one aircraft manager.

The Bell does not have wheels but skids and this was one of the primary reasons engine engaged tie-down installation/removal was done away with.

D. Dutch Harbor/Change of Command/Transit/Sci Onload 1. The week prior to TSTA was hectic with the successful install of the new

sponson for Healy 2. Healy 2 had all repairs made and required only the 20 hour engine break-in to be full mission capable.

2. The deck division CART was also conducted during the Seattle port call. No

major or training restrictive discrepancies were noted. Deck division was ready to train.

E. TSTA

1. Long hours of preparation and research paid off as Deck division met all its training objectives, 100%, which included a first ever towing by the ship.

I-15

HEALY conducting her first ever towing evolution.

2. The end of TSTA brought to close a 13 month period in which 14 of 16

personnel in Deck division rotated.

F. Seattle to Barrow 1. Extensive boat operations during refueling at Manchester fuel stop including 2

coxswains and 2 boat crewman certifications. Engine break-in was completed on Healy 2 and it was returned to Full Mission Capable status.

2. Conducted onload of science gear and personnel off the coast of Nome,

Alaska with the LCVP. Launch of LVCP and onload of science gear was conducted while at anchor in moderate seaway and limited the lee available.

G. AWS 2-06

1. Artic West Summer phase 2 involved deck division in two major fashions. The first was the rigging of the seismic cage, a fabricated steel square from which seismic cannons were suspended. Deck was heavily involved in the rigging of the cage. The non-hydrodynamic design tended to get twisted without tending lines. A 600’ towing line was used as a stay to the forward corners of the cage allowing limited rudder use. The line was removed from service at the end of the phase due to severe chaffing. The specifications were provided to Dale Chayes who will fund a replacement.

I-16

Seismic cage being rigged for tow.

2. Seismic work required sensors be placed on the ice at intervals of

approximately 8 miles. The extensive flight operations, even with the more flexible Bell helo required the establishment of Port and Starboard flight operations teams that would cover all launches/recoveries in two 12-hour watches. The crew was thoroughly briefed on this new setup and the process for helo operations streamlined. No pipe was made, the on watch team receiving a group page. Placards were in place and posted by the LSO and MST on watch at accesses to weather decks to prevent unsafe transits. The schedule worked very well, enabling helo ops at all hours day and night without burdening crew and science personnel with constant pipes/alarm tests.

I-17

2. Recommendations BACK-UP/SECONDARY BROW: The secondary brow purchased during the 2005 inport proved very useful for deploying persons to the ice. It is quicker to set up and after being shifted to the forecastle does not impact flight operations. Currently it can only be rigged to the port side. ECR in place to allow use of the brow from both sides of the ship. Recommend brow be modified to add step treads and a removable ice skid which would improve the ease of use.

TRAINING: Several casualties to the 04 cranes during AWES 2005 as well as a damaged flight deck net are likely attributable to operator error and highlight the need for formal training for all crane operators and deck supervisors. Revamped qualification process and one time training visit from Coast Guard NATON School contributed to no major crane casualties during AWS 2006 though another flight net was damaged. Recommend Healy be added to NATON weight handling training program and it become an annual event.

CHAPTER 2 – Air Operations 1. Summary

A. Pre-Deployment Preparations 1. Due to the disestablishment of the ATC Mobile Polar OPS division and the

transfer of the FY-2006 Polar Icebreaker Budget to the National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF was required to hire contracted helicopter support for the science operations during the HEALY’s 2006 mission.

2. VECOPOLAR Resources provided contracting options to the NSF. The NSF

selected the Maritime Helicopter Company, who provided one Bell 206L3 Helicopter and 2-Helicopter flight crew personnel to be deployed with HEALY. The NSF partnered with the Department of the Interior’s Aviation Management Directorate (AMD) to complete this task.

3. HEALY submitted a waiver to COMDT (G-RCA) to request permission to

operate with Bell 206L3 for the upcoming mission.

B. Seattle to Dutch Harbor/CART 1. Upon HEALY’s arrival in Dutch Harbor the Command Reps meet with

Helicopter crew, deploying AMD AVDET Manager and the other AMD Reps to procedures for the civilian helicopter while on board the HEALY.

2. Helicopter N303MH was flown aboard pierside and conducted three take-

off/landing cycles for the AMD Reps to certify the Ship-Helo interface. 3. HEALY embarked Helicopter 303MH in Dutch Harbor, AK for the 07-29

May deployment in the Bering Sea with three AVDET members.

C. AWS 1-06 1. During the first phase the Helo was primarily used for passenger transfers,

cargo transfer, and Helo-HEALY familiarizations. 2. The N303MH Helo was able to be tracked using a web-based aviation

tracking system fed by a transmitter on N303MH. The website was password protected and could be accessed by the AMD flight manager. The system was reliable at sub-arctic latitudes in the Bering Sea but will be less effective at the high latitudes that will be encountered in the next phase due to internet connectivity limits.

3. AMD Coordinator Provided Aircraft Familiarization and Safety Brief for passengers prior to each flight and airframe familiarization training for emergency response personnel.

4. Communications were established via VHF-FM, VHF-AM, and Iridium

Handheld. The VHF-FM was reliable up to 25NM. The VHF-AM was reliable for longer ranges but had problems with clarity. For missions that took the helicopter beyond 25NM the handheld Iridium phone was reliable and effective.

5. N303MH disembarked HEALY near St. Lawrence Island.

F. Seattle to Barrow 1. HEALY worked with flight crews from Port Angelus, WA in the recertification of the HEALY flight deck with 17 touch and goes. This included training for tie-downs, LSOs, and HCOs.

2. Two Maritime Helicopters embarked. Each helicopter came with its own crew, pilots (Joe Trudo, Bill Springer) and two mechanics (Charles Sims, Andrew Ullrich). The AMD Pilot inspector (Gil Howell) and helicopter manger (David Kreutzer) came on the phase to handle any problems that may arise.

3. The helicopters transported Science party / Coast Guard personnel (38

Passengers) and gear (6,600 lbs) from Barrow to the ship on July 18th. Fourteen passengers and their gear were transported from the ship to Barrow. N303 MH was used to transport the gear internally to the ship. No cargo nets were available for this operation. N306MH transported the passengers to the ship. Both helicopter transported Passenger and gear from the ship to Barrow. The operation went very smoothly.

4. The fog shut down the passenger and cargo transport on the evening of the

18th. Both helicopter stayed on the Healy for the night. Passengers and cargo transport continued the following day. The science party was all on board the ship by 1400 on July 19th.

G. AWS 2-06

1. Helicopter N306MH and N303MH were used to perform a number of flight operations, such as ice recon, passenger transfers, cargo transfers, and performing the required ice landings to place the seismic party’s seismic stations (coolers).

II-4

2. Science party and Coast Guard personnel that would be flying in the helicopters were given a B-3 course (basic helicopter training). The training comprised of PowerPoint and a walk around of the helicopter. The seismic party also did a mock loading and unloading of the helicopter with three seismic stations.

3. July 24: Pilot Bill Springer was placed on the ice by the boat to check on ice conditions before the helicopter landings. He thought this was a great opportunity to see what the ice conditions would be like before having to land on it. Future missions should consider doing this with both pilots before they have to land on the ice.

4. The seismic operation was to be flown any time during a 24 hour period. The

Coast Guard crew created two flight deployment and recovery teams to respond to flight operations. The team worked 12 hour shifts and were made up of two fueling specialist, one LSO, two fire team members, and one HCO. The team members were taken off their watch rotations. This system worked out very well.

5. The helicopters assisted in with the departure of our two fallen shipmates to Barrow, AK. They also provided transportation for high ranking Coast Guard officials and the investigation and critical incident stress teams following the accident.

6. The majority of the flight operation for this phase of science was to place and

recover seismic monitoring stations on the ice. The helicopters were also valuable in ice recon mission and transportation of the science party from and to port.

7. Weather was an issue for the science flight during the Arctic cruise. Flight

conditions were ½ mile to 1 mile visibility with less than 200 foot ceilings. Fog was also an issue with temperature around freezing during the flights.

CHAPTER III – COMMUNICATIONS 1. Summary

A. Pre-Deployment Preparations 1. Communications:

a. The annual Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Groom was completed. The keymat for circuits HEALY does not actively use (IE. CUDIX, Fleet Broadcast, HF/SAT RATT) and was not acquired for the SATCOM groom. Pacific Area EKMS manager has eliminated support for the unused short titles until deemed necessary for operations on HEALY.

b. During the shakedown cruise, all Healy's communications circuits were operations normal.

2. Electronics:

a. All electronic equipment in Radio was groomed. b. New HF radio transceiver was installed in Radio with remote heads in

Radio, the Helo Control Office and on the Bridge. c. DTS-TV inoperable.


1. Communications: Once again we experienced confusion from CAMSPAC about our special (sharing SDN and CGDN) INMARSAT connectivity needs.

C. AWS 1-06

1. Communications: a. Highest latitude for this phase was 51-22N. At this latitude Inmarsat-B

and mini-M connectivity was steady. b. HFDX steady and reliable. Support from COMMSTA Kodiak was

outstanding.

2. Electronics: DTS-TV CASREP. Troubleshooting revealed that the horizontal section of the satellite signal processor would not pass the signal. Polar Sea provided an operational SSP-10-2150 and ESU provided a Tech Assistant, parts, and groom.

D. Dutch Harbor/Change of Command/Transit/Sci Onload NSTR

E. TSTA 1. Communications: The following Comms drills were conducted during TSTA.

a. Emergency Destruction training during Abandon Ship drill. b. C-Fire on bridge drill in lieu of C-fire in radio drill.

F. Seattle to Barrow 1. Communications: Received and delivered 30lbs of mail.

III-2

G. AWS 2-06 1. Communications:

a. Highest latitude for this phase was 78-48N. At this latitude Inmarsat-B and mini-M connectivity was intermittent as science operations took HEALY out of satellite range. Recurring Inmarsat-B bandwidth errors were determined to be land based problems.

b. An upgrade to CMPLUS application version 5.1A was completed. c. New DPVS database was downloaded and installed

H. Transit to Barrow and to Kodiak

1. Communications: Comms. Department worked hard to provide the investigative teams with electronic data related to the MISHAP.

I. Kodiak (26-30 Aug) 1. Communications: Received and delivered 1800 lbs of mail and packages.

J. Transit to Homeport 1. Communications: Received and delivered 300lbs of mail.

2. Recommendations:

Recommend pursing the use of Iridium for high latitude connection to CGDN. Iridium is capable of being used for this service both for HEALY and other non-INMARSAT Coast Guard Assets and it is recommended as a solution for connectivity when cutters will be out of INMARSAT-B satellite footprints.

CHAPTER IV - SCIENCE 1. Summary

A. Pre-Deployment Preparations 1. The MSTs and support personnel from ESU and LDEO tested the science data

systems during the two-week shakedown cruise in March/April 2006. All sensors had been sent out for annual inspection and calibration or grooms were conducted onboard by qualified representatives. In-depth groom reports can be obtained through HEALY’s ET division.

2. Conductivity-Temperature-Depth profiler and rosette (CTD): The MSTs lowered the rosette fully assembled with sensors and Niskin bottles, minus the altimeter which had not been returned from the manufacturer. All sensors worked satisfactorily. One 30-liter bottle was lost when the holding pin broke; several bottles leaked when full. The MSTs fixed the leaks by moving the cap springs to the interior of the bottles and replacing degraded o-rings. They replaced the holding pin and bottle and wrapped a line around the outside circumference of the rosette and bottles to ensure others did not fall off even if a holding pin broke.

3. Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (75 and 150kHz; ADCP): Teledyne RDI technician Ron Hippie was onboard to conduct grooms and continue work on tracking down the noise interference that has plagued these sensors for years. He was able to verify that the noise was due to the proximity of the ADCP cables to the SeaBeam cables. Teledyne techs and CG ET’s will continue to work towards a resolution involving separating the cables throughout their run from the transducers to the processor. The transducer well for the ADCP-75 was thoroughly cleaned to provide better feedback. Further investigations will be conducted during the transit from Seattle to Dutch Harbor.

4. SeaBeam 2112: We conducted pitch and roll bias tests and calibrations were made as necessary. L3 Communications technician Jorge Brockhoff was onboard to conduct the groom.

5. Knudsen and Bathy2000: Both sub-bottom profilers were tested with satisfactory results. However, a second Knudsen will be brought onboard as it is preferred by the scientists. The Bathy will act as a back-up.

6. Expendable Temperature Probes (XBT, XCTD): The MSTs dropped one XBT each from the hand-held and thru-hull launchers. The XCTD test canister was used via the hand-held launcher. All systems worked satisfactorily. We have enough XBTs onboard to conduct one per day for accurate SeaBeam sound velocity profiling.

7. Wires, Blocks and A-frames: The MSTs tested the .322 wire with the CTD cast and the 3/8ths and 9/16ths wires with weights. All systems performed well. During one CTD cast, the starboard a-frame block became jammed; we did get the CTD back onboard without further problem. Upon inspection, the MSTs found a washer had become lodged between the rubber insert and the metal cheek, most likely when the block had sustained a side-load due to the weather conditions. The MSTs reassembled the block with a new insert, greased bearings and a new collar; it worked fine thereafter.

8. TeraScan: This piece of meteorological equipment worked without incident during the shakedown. A new antenna is scheduled to be delivered and installed prior to sailing for AWS’06.

9. In addition to the above systems, the fluorometer, both thermosalinographs (TSG), RM Young weather station, and salinometer worked well. The Barnstead deionizer held steady at the desired level of 18ohms.

10. We conducted the equipment onload for the Grebmeier/Lovvorn cruise over three designated days two-weeks prior to sailing. Having specified dates for load-outs has again proven valuable in ensuring all equipment arrives in a timely manner and allows the MST division to count-on and enjoy some time off before sailing. The offload is scheduled for the first three days back in Seattle, 12-14 June.

B. Seattle to Dutch Harbor/CART 1. For the 7-day transit, the MSTs assumed their standard underway watch

rotation consisting of a regular workday and a four hour watch with a weather observation and rounds of the science spaces. Several science personnel rode HEALY from Seattle to begin setting up the lab equipment. This worked very well as it allowed the rest of the science party to embark in Dutch Harbor and begin science operations immediately upon reaching the first station a day

later. The MSTs worked with the scientists to ensure lab configurations were adequate and that equipment was set-up for the upcoming mission.

2. During the transit, HEALY was diverted to MEDEVAC a crew member from the S/V JERSEY CLIPPER. The duty MST provided updated weather forecasts throughout the 20-hour evolution as we were combating gale-force conditions. Once on-scene, the MSTs assumed a “man overboard” recovery posture. This included manning the starboard working deck, rigging a horseshoe collar from the A-frame, and making ready various life rings and heaving lines to ensure potential water recoveries could be conducted in a timely fashion. Fortunately, no further actions were required as the RHI crew successfully recovered the individual and returned to HEALY.

3. During CART and for TSTA preparations, the MSTs manned-up as “fire team 4” and participated in all drills and exercises.

4. Ron Hippie, Teledyne RDI tech, continued work on the Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP). He removed the deck units from the IC No Gyro Room and temporarily installed them in the transducer room; the separation between instrument cables cleared the interference. He will work with the ET division to install a permanent solution.

5. The TeraScan antenna lost its gyro heading input and spun itself in continuous search of direction until it broke the turn stops and destroyed the wiring inside. Eric Baptiste from SeaSpace was onboard and attempted to unwind the wires and establish comms with the unit; however, he was unsuccessful. He was able to issue the command to lock the antenna in place. With the gyro heading input not working, he tried POSMV input, but the unit could not interpret the data string. SeaSpace will write a new script that incorporates the lock command in the event the system loses heading input again. The system was CASREP’d; options for repair include switching antennas with the POLAR STAR or having SeaSpace techs return to the ship for repairs during TSTA. It would not be useable for the first science phase.

6. The rest of the science party met us in Dutch Harbor. We loaded the remaining cargo and personnel and departed the next morning for our operational area just south of St. Lawrence Island.

C. AWS 1-06 1. The first science mission of AWS’06 commenced on 6 May when Jackie

Grebmeier and her crew of 30 scientists and graduate students boarded HEALY in Dutch Harbor, AK. The focus of this mission was investigating climate-driven changes in impacts of benthic predators in the Northern Bering Sea. It involved primarily trawls, bottom grabs, bottom cores and CTD deployments. 44 stations were situated in the Bering Sea Southwest of Saint Lawrence Island. The team hoped to spend the last four days of the cruise sampling the area north of Saint Lawrence Island, but this would be dependant on conditions.

2. At each station a myriad of operations would take place: a. A handheld UV meter would be deployed

to measure UV radiation to 100 meters. b. A CTD would be lowered to provide

profiles of salinity, temperature, macronutrients, δ18O values and chlorophyll a in the water column, giving an oceanographic water mass context for the study.

c. A vertical zooplankton net would be

deployed and recovered to help estimate productivity in the water column.

d. Seven Van Veem grabs and one Haps

benthic multi-corer deployment would be completed to add to the time-series benthic measurement data sets started by other studies.

e. Finally an otter trawl would be conducted to determine the densities of

clams, predatory gastropods, sea stars, snow crabs and ground fish.

3. SIO and LDEO representatives helped HEALY MST’s in operating the CTD’s and some of the other scientific equipment. Although well trained, the MST’s are not specialists. These representatives ensured that equipment was operated properly and fixed when necessary. This assistance played a large part in the success of this mission.

4. A middle school teacher and an editor for Scholastic Inc. participated for the full length of the cruise as a part of TREC. (Teachers and Researchers Experiencing the Artic) They interacted with local school children from Gambell and Savoogna as well as writing articles, making web postings and leading online conference calls throughout the cruise.

5. One scientist tagged and collected tissue from four species of ice seals using a crossbow with specialized darts in order to investigate ice seal stock structure, migration routes and dispersal patterns of ice seals that occur in the northern Bering Sea. Healy 1 was used to carry out this aspect of the study.

6. The embarked civilian helo was used to conduct aerial surveys of Spectacled Eiders. It was unknown to the scientific community where Spectacled Eiders spent May. Unfortunately no confirmed sightings of Spectacled Eiders were made.

7. At one point the otter trawl became stuck on a small ice flow. In a flurry of activity MSTC and OPS took control of the effort to free the trawl. The decision was made to transfer pilothouse control from the aloft conn to aft conn in order to better maneuver the ship. Unfortunately there were problems in the transfer and HEALY drifted for approximately 45 minutes. During this time the trawl had become even more fouled and the trawl was lost when a line in the bridle parted.

8. This mission was exceptionally successful, having exceeded all goals and objectives due to favorable ice conditions and the efficient work of the MSTs and scientists. A final total of 118 stations were sampled instead of the 44 stations originally planned.


1. The AWS 1-06 science party departed the ship in Dutch Harbor, AK on 5 June, with the exception of a few who were riding back to Seattle. The major off-load will occur back in Seattle. The MSTs participated in the Change of Command, with MST3 Klinesteker using the borrowed ESU digital video camera to create a memorable movie of the event.

2. Throughout the transit, the MSTs assisted the remaining scientists with

disassembling and packing their equipment and making it ready for shipping. This mission did not have a lot of cargo, so off-load was managed in just one day.

3. The on-load of JPC components, some seismic equipment and lab items

occurred over three days with the assistance of the ISC 21k forklift. The ISC also authorized us to store the OSU flat-rack for the JPC in the GOV lot with the other flat-racks until our return in November.

E. TSTA 1. During TSTA, no science operations were conducted. However, we did

onload the large air gun frame, air compressors and associated parts at the Navy Base Everett pier. LDEO was onboard to coordinate the loading.

2. The MSTs participated in the extensive TSTA drills and even earned high praise when their somewhat unconventional but effective shoring stopped the “flooding.” We did not run the sensors during this time as we were only underway for two to three days at a time in the Puget Sound.

F. Seattle to Barrow 1. The transit to Barrow, AK was relatively easy on the MST division. We

dropped the aft-tending 3/8ths wire with a 100lb weight to approximately 2500m to unravel some loose wraps and rewrap the cable under light tension.

2. LDEO personnel continued to work

on the TeraScan system. It worked sometimes but not all the time. They found that it worked better with GPS as a heading source rather than Gyro, but still did not always lock onto a satellite. Also, the antenna would bounce off the turn stopper and work it loose; the techs and ETs corrected this, a couple of times.

G. AWS 06-02

1. The second science mission of AWS’06 commenced on 14 July when Larry Lawver and his crew of 27 scientists graduate students and undergraduate students were transferred to HEALY from Barrow, AK by HEALY’s embarked civilian helos. The focus of this mission was to collect seismic reflection and refraction data in the Chukchi Borderland and the Mendeleev Ridge, poorly studied regions of the Artic Ocean floor, while testing an innovative approach to conducting seismic work in the artic. The goal was to contras the crustal structure between the two regions.

2. This mission started off slow due to abnormally dense and tough ice conditions near Barrow, AK, the fog forced the science party transfer to occur over two days (18-19 July), the Incidental Harassment Authorizations from National Marine Fisheries Service and US Fish and Wildlife Service had not yet been granted, and some parts to the seismic air guns had not arrived. Over the course of four days, we drifted with the ice pack then actively made way toward less ice covered waters in which we could deploy the air gun frame for practice.

IV-7

3. Once the last of the parts arrived and had been installed, the air gun tech that had helped with this process was flown to Barrow and HEALY began proceeding to the study area east of the Northwind Escarpment. By this time the proper authorizations had arrived.

4. The terms of the authorization required that marine

mammal observers accompany the HEALY. If a marine mammal was sighted air gun operations would be stopped until 30 minutes after the observer last saw the mammal. Luckily this only occurred twice during the course of the study.

5. The basic concept of the project was to deploy

seismometers on the ice using helicopters along HEALY’s trackline, both in front and behind the ship. HEALY would tow a seismic streamer and a large cage containing air guns. The air guns would send sound waves that would be both reflected and refracted by the ocean floor. The seismic streamer would record the reflected waves and the on ice seismometers would collect the refracted waves. The data from these waves would reveal the composition of the crust below the air guns. Jumbo piston cores (JPC) and gravity cores would be conducted in regions of the study area of particular interest to the scientists.

6. Once operations began several large problems became apparent:

a. The seismic streamer designed to collect reflection data trailed out several hundred meters behind the stern. Pieces of ice would constantly lift the streamer out of the water interfering with the data collection. In addition, it took over twenty minutes to deploy or recover the streamer. This would need to happen before the seismic guns could be deployed or recovered.

b. The eight seismic guns were installed in an enormous rectangular cage

with a single tow point at the middle of the structure. Since it was not streamlined at all, when it was towed it spun uncontrollably. Even when two tow points were fitted, the flow off the rudders and from differential thrust on the propellers had the potential to spin the cage 180o.

c. The ice conditions in many of the areas along the planned cruise track were

too intense to tow the seismic gear effectively. The conning officer had to proceed at very low speeds and use very little rudder or differential thrust. This made it impossible to avoid or break through pressure ridges found along the track line.

IV-8

7. Eventually regions of lighter ice in the study areas were found. In addition as the science party was more interested in the refraction data, the seismic streamer was not used after it was tested. This made the deployment and recovery of the seismic gear a much quicker process. In the end over 84 hours of seismic refraction data was collected on the Chukchi Borderland and the Mendeleev Ridge. As the methods were entirely new the Dr. Lawver was pleased with the data that was collected. The experience will also aid in the refinement of the technique of collecting seismic refraction data in ice covered regions.

8. At one point the seismic cage was over the side

being towed when several ET’s began trying to fix the MPCMS unit in aft conn that controls the winch. The system was accidentally reset and the winch released the wire. The cage was hanging off the stern by the towing hawser. The LDEO representative expressed that he wanted the seismic cage brought back on deck as soon as possible. Control of the winch was established in the winch room however the noise made by the HPU’s in the winch room made it exceedingly difficult for the person in charge of the deck to communicate with the person operating the winch. When the order to stop was given it was not heard. Because the winch was being operated locally, there was no one in aft conn with the ability to hit the emergency stop. On the third order to stop, the winch operator heard the command and stopped the winch. The cage came less than 3 feet from the block. If it had become entangled with the block, there is a good chance that the wire would have parted and the cage would have fallen to the deck.

9. Tragically, on 17 August HEALY lost her MSO. LT Jessica Hill perished in a

diving accident under the ice. ENS Stephen Elliott, previously the AMSO took over as MSO. Dr. Lawver conferred with the command and declared that the 06-02 science mission was over.

10. On 22 August the 06-02 science team was transferred off HEALY by

helicopter to Nome, AK with the exception of the few that were staying on board until Kodiak or Seattle.

H. Kodiak, AK NSTR.

I. Transit to Homeport

HEALY returned to homeport 3 September. The seismic equipment from 06-02 was offloaded on 12 September along with some LDEO equipment. The offload

of Oregon State University’s coring equipment was delayed until 22 September due to scheduling issues. Both offloads were completed without incident.

2. Recommendations

A. TDY MST’s from other units proved to be a valuable asset. Would prefer experienced MST’s, but we were able to train the new MST to a minimum level to support the mission in two weeks. As the weather deteriorated, deck operations required a minimum of two MST’s. With the current compliment of MST’s assigned to the Healy, it would have been very taxing to maintain 24 hour operations.

B. More training on basic RV technician skills and basic oceanography skills. This would allow the MST’s to provide greater customer service support to the embarked science party.

C. Continue to send MST’s to the PMI weather course, especially those who have not had any weather training. Send them early enough in their tour so they can follow-up with the more advanced course in Maryland and still have enough time aboard to use the training. As always continue to look ahead to the following year’s science requirements and as practical within time constraints, have the MST’s deploy on UNOLS vessels to receive as much experience as possible.

D. Continue to contract with Scripps Institute of Oceanography or another similar

organization to provide technical support on equipment. MST’s are very component in what they do, but are not trained to the system requirements. The on-board technician was able to identify and resolve any problems with the systems. As much as possible, having science personal on-board for transits assists with setup and reduces the stress on the science party and shipboard personal the first few days of a mission.

E. Aviation staterooms should be Coast Guard staterooms, not science staterooms.

This makes sense as the AVDET used Coast Guard staterooms and the civilian detachment is much smaller that the AVDET, so space should not be an issue.

F. Civilian helos allowed for science operation to continue when conditions would

have prevented the use of HH-65’s. The civilian operators were very competent and effective. The scientists were very impressed.

Scientists from 06-01 with members of HEALY’s crew and HEALY’s embarked civilian helo.

IV-10

G. There were several lessons learned throughout the preparation and deployment of the AWS’06 mission:

1. The science watchstander should log helo flights for science in the event log to assist in record keeping.

2. There should only be one person in charge of the deck during an over the side evolution. Any relief of that person must include a proper pass down and take place on the deck.

3. Pilothouse control should not be shifted during an over the side evolution.

4. Any science mission planning on using equipment powered by an internal combustion engine must also include a plan to deal with the exhaust from the equipment. Damage control equipment should never be used to deal with such exhaust as this compromises the ship’s ability to combat actual casualties.

5. In communications between the fantail and the conning officer precise communications are critical. It is particularly important to be clear in differentiating between stopping turns and stopping the ship.

6. Any time a winch is being operated, an operator must be in aft conn, even if the winch is being controlled locally. This way someone with eyes on the situation on deck will be able to hit the emergency stop should that become necessary.

7. Communications between the deck and the winch room are practically impossible due to noise from the machinery in that space. With that in mind, only operate winches locally if it is an absolute emergency.

8. No one should conduct any maintenance or tests on winches or A-frames during an over the side evolution.

Shafting b. MOB-E1005.13 (E-004-SF) Loss Of MPCMS c. MOB-E1007.2C (E-011C-SF) Class "C" Fire In The Low Voltage SS Bus d. MOB-E1008.1 (E-005-SF) Major Fuel Leak e. MOB-E1008.4 (E-CG2-SF) General Emergency Casualty Flooding f. MOB-E1008.5 (E-003-SF) Loss Of Steering Control

4. HEALY sailed with the following outstanding CASREPS: a. 05034 - Aft Warping Capstan: In order to facilitate placing all

CASREPS in CMPLUS, this CASREP replaces cancelled CASREP 03057. CASREP Summary: during AEWS 03, SF noticed that capstan only operated at one speed. Capstan was overhauled in DD04. OPTEST of capstan after overhaul was SAT, but capstan still only operated at low speed. SF completed CSMP for piping modifications to be done in DS05. Piping mods completed with no results. Replaced flow control valve with little improvement. Exercised optional DS item to conduct performance testing. Requested NESU Seattle pass findings of final report to HEALY. Once final report is received, will determine what course of action to take.

V-4

Two-speed operation still not controllable due to excessive hydraulic backpressure on hydraulic return line exceeding 100 psi; two-speed motor requires hydraulic return pressure to drop below 100 psi to shift to low-speed mode. Currently working with NESU PE'S and DS contractor on best technical solution to eliminate system backpressure's effect on motor. Technical Analysis scheduled for DD07.

b. 05036 - Bow Thruster: In order to facilitate placing all CASREPs in CMPlus, this CASREP replaced cancelled CASREP 04026. CASREP Summary: during AWS04, while Healy was operating in dynamic positioning mode with directional vanes open, SF found Healy’s bow thruster's port vane shaft seal to be leaking at a rate of approximately one gallon per minute. Parts ordered and received. SF attempt to make bow thruster temporary repairs underway were unsuccessful. Tech support suggested waiting until RTHP for repairs. SF and NESU Seattle’s attempt to make repairs during 6 month inport NOV04 - MAY05 were also unsuccessful. Unit is operational. Repairs of seals completed and tested SAT. Emergency Drydock cancelled, repairs scheduled for Drydock 2007. Use of BT for departure from Seattle caused renewed leakage of Stbd seal.

c. 05044 – Flight Deck Net: Stbd side flight deck net suffered damage when stbd knuckle boom hit it during science operations. Lower left corner pad-eye and upper right corner lanyard attachment were both damaged. Fabricated new frame from onboard steel pipe, installed, weight test sat. Full repairs scheduled for inport 2006, upon receipt of new fiberglass frame. Twice received broken parts. Reordered parts. Correct and undamaged parts received. To maintain current flight deck net certification, ships force will replace damaged frame upon return to home port prior to annual weight testing of flight deck nets.

d. 05053 – NR3 CFW Pump: NR3 central fresh water (CFW) pump made a loud unusual noise due to severely damaged rubber inserts on the coupling. Unusual wear occurring on leading edge of coupling teeth and one of the teeth had a large chip on the leading edge. Replaced coupling inserts, but coupling itself is not stocked and long lead time, only used NR3 CFW pump as standby pump in an emergency. Received coupling, installed. Troubleshooting cause of a failing relay in controller. Relay replaced, electrical wiring checked. OPTEST SAT. CASCOR’d 08May06.

e. 05070 – OWS: Oil content meter (OCM) failed to operate due to faulty Power PC board. OCM scheduled for annual calibration and will be repaired at that time. Due to single OWS installation, oily water processing capability was eliminated. During optest, SF found faulty 1.5 inch solenoid valve on the high flow line. Rebuilt valve for temp operation, but additional electrical issues are also preventing operation in both 25 and 50 gpm modes. Troubleshooting continues. Ships force and NESU Seattle corrected electrical problems. Relays removed by FUIRP were purchased locally by Healy. OWS Optested for one month with positive results. Appreciate NESU Seattle’s assistance in cleaning and repairing OWS. This is second casualty requiring locally purchased parts

V-5

to replace Parts removed by FUIRP. 400 man hours expended to correct casualty. CASCOR’d 14Jul06.

f. 05071 – NR1 MSW Pump: NR1 MSW Pump is leaking and the bearings are Belzona'd to the shaft. Other internal erosion damage expected. Requested MLCPAC procure new MSW Pump. Request NESU Seattle remove old pump and install new pump during current maintenance period. Awaiting new pump, ETA June 2006. Healy has not received number 1 MSW pump. Request pump be delivered to NESU Seattle. Healy currently has two operation MSW pumps. Healy will not be able to receive MSW pump until next port call, 31AUG06. Request installation of new pump be included in drydock07 package.

g. 06001 – NR1 S/A Compressor Cooler: After conducting PMS item A-C-7227, test show that 5 out of the 32 tubes were leaking. The leaking tubes were plugged and the cooler is now having a reduction efficiency of 15.6 percent. The maximum reduction efficiency standard is 10 percent. Request MLCPAC purchase cooler and ship to HEALY for installation. SF has submitted a CMA for NESU Seattle to install new coolers. NESU Seattle inspected coolers on NR 2 and NR3 start air Compressors and found end bells corroded. Anticipating similar damage to NR1. Request MLCPAC purchase parts to replace corroded end Bells. HEALY has received the cooler, but has not received end bells. Request end bells are shipped to NESU Seattle for follow on shipment to Dutch Harbor, AK for HEALY’s 31AUG06 port call. On 30JUN06 MSW cooling line on NR1 SA compressor developed second leak at fitting and is unable to be patched underway. Fittings are a European style and U.S. suppliers do not have any in stock. HEALY is working with NESU Seattle to have new fittings machined. Request NESU Seattle machine new fittings using failed fittings delivered 07JUL06 as template.

h. 06002 – NR2 S/A Compressor Cooler: After conducting PMS item a-c-7227, test show that 4 out of the 32 tubes were leaking. The leaking tubes were plugged and the cooler is now having a reduction efficiency of 12.5 percent. The maximum reduction efficiency standard is 10 percent. Request MLCPAC purchase cooler and ship to HEALY for installation. SF has submitted a CMA for NESU Seattle to install new coolers. SF found blown tube on NR2 SA compressor cooler. NESU Seattle repaired leak and reported that 20 of 70 tubes were plugged and end bells were corroded. End bell had also been previously misaligned, causing increase erosion in this unit. Healy has received the cooler, but has not received end bells. Request end bells are shipped to NESU Seattle for follow on shipment to Dutch Harbor, AK for HEALY’s 31AUG06 port call.

i. 06003 – NR3 S/A Compressor Cooler: SF found 4 out of the 32 tubes leaking. The leaking tubes were plugged and the cooler is now having a reduction efficiency of 12.5 percent. The maximum reduction efficiency standard is 10 percent. NESU Seattle will be conducting PMS item a-c-7227 and may find more tubes blown. Request MLCPAC purchase cooler and ship to HEALY for installation. SF has submitted a CMA for NESU

V-6

Seattle to install new coolers. SF found blown tube on NR3 SA compressor cooler. NESU Seattle plugged one leak and reported that bells were corroded. 12 tubes of 70 are plugged. Request MLCPac purchase parts dl02 and dl03 due to corroded end bells. Plugged add’l 1 tube. HEALY has received the cooler, but has not received end bells. Request end bells are shipped to NESU Seattle for follow on shipment to Dutch Harbor, AK for HEALY’s 31AUG06 port call.

j. 06004 – NR3 MSW Pump: Wearing ring gland is completely eroded on both upper and lower halves. Pump housing is also eroded. Evaluating options for temp repairs due to knowledge of spare pump availability issues. Request MLCPAC purchase and ship DL01, MSW pump to HEALY. Due to procurement lead time for new pumps, NESU Seattle plans to overhaul NR3 MSW pump. Without MSW PUMP NR3, HEALY would sail with one 100 percent capacity pump and one 50 percent capacity pump. Request MLCPAC provide LOA to NESU Seattle to fund interim repairs to NR3 MSW pump in preparation for bollard testing and shakedown. Estimated repairs 13K. Rebuild completed, pump installed prior to departure from Seattle. Optested for 3 weeks. Optest SAT, but machining to suit resulted in different internal dimensions and the next failure will require pump replacement as standard parts will no longer fit. Request MLC and ELC cancel the current requisition for a new pump to replace NR3 MSW pump. Still need a replacement for NR 1 MSW pump CASREP 05071. Bravo Zulu to NESU Seattle and MLCPAC for arranging and completing rebuild of NR3 MSW pump prior to deployment. CASCOR’d 26May06.

k. 06010 – RHI, HEALY 2: HEALY 2 was moored fwd of Healy. Due to high tides, HEALY 2 became wedged under the pier, and sustained salt water damage in the engine block, electrical systems, and Sponson. The collar has suffered several ruptures so the starboard quarter chamber will not maintain buoyancy. The collar failures have also resulted in a separation of the collar material from the fiberglass transom. This failure in the seal between the collar and transom affects the ability of the boat to remain afloat. MISHAP report to be entered in E-MISHAP System. Request MLCPAC provide LOA for repairs. Estimate cost of repair to be $50K. Engine repairs completed. Optest sat. Local sponson patch was adequate, but we do not plan to use the boat for anything but emergencies until replacement sponson is installed. Still need to complete full engine break-in. HEALY 2 is on board in the port davit and is secured for sea. Sponson received was incorrect size, reordered correct sponson. ETA 12JUN06. Replaced Sponson during Seattle import and completed engine break-in while off Nome, AK conducting science on-load. CASCOR’d 17JUL06.

l. 06012 – Stbd Flume Tank Dump Valve: Stbd side flume tank overboard discharge motor operated valve is seized, probably due to sediment build-up, clogging, or stripped stem (lifting) nut. Motor functions and receives signal locally and through MPCMS, but valve will not move in any mode

V-7

of operation. Port side flume tank overboard discharge motor operated valve is currently working but is showing signs of seizing. Requested MLCPAC add to PMA06 the overhaul of the stbd flume tank dump valve Limitorque actuator, groom of the port actuator, and valve stems cleaning. Both actuators overhauled. OPTEST SAT. CASCOR’d 26APR06.

m. 06015 – NR1 Boiler Blower Motor: Watchstander found nr1 boiler blower motor hot to touch and not operating. Motor leads melted in terminal box. One of three fuses in controller blown. Motor shaft spins free by hand. Request NESU Seattle removes motor and impeller, send out both to be repaired, and reinstall. Impeller repairs necessary due to damage while removing impeller hub which was seized on motor shaft. Received parts, installed, Optest SAT. CASCOR’d 08May06.

2. HEALY experienced the following CASREPS: a. 06016 – HIFR Rig: HIFR rig was sat during dockside inspection, but

when brought to flight deck for HIFR evolution found kink in hose. Healy will send out for repair. Healy received replacement HIFR rig through exchange with 378 type desk. Received HIFR rig has an unusable quick disconnect couplings. Coupling on ship's end has a marred surface and does not form a tight seal. Coupling on helo end of hose has bent pin on the quick disconnect coupling. As a result, hose cannot properly attach to fueling nozzle. Couplings are part of hose assembly, therefore unable to be replaced by ship's force. Also, rig was delivered with debris in the inline filter of the hose. HEALY used CGC Mellon’s HIFR rig to complete aviation facility currency training. Request MLCPAC provide HEALY with functional HIFR rig at next port call in Dutch Harbor, AK on 31AUG06.

b. 06018 – NR1 Climate Control Chamber: SF noted low charge in system and investigated for leaks. Refrigerant (R404) leak discovered at evaporator coil-fan assembly inside the climate control chamber. System secured. SF has recovered refrigerant to attempt to locate and repair leak. Anticipate minimal success in locating and then repairing leak in coil. Requested MLCPAC purchase replacement cooler. Awaiting parts. #2 Climate control chamber compressor was replaced using #1 climate control chamber compressor. #2 climate control chamber developed leak

V-8

from base of compressor. Refrigerant was recovered from unit. Leak was due to failed O-ring at the base of the compressor. HEALY does not have O-ring onboard. Compressor was replaced using #1 climate control chamber compressor, changed with refrigerant, and placed back online. While troubleshooting system’s failure to energize, EM’s found damaged wiring to fan motors. Wiring harness from #1 climate control chamber was also used to restore #2 climate control chamber. Wiring harness for #1 climate control chamber will be repaired by ship’s force prior to #1 climate control chamber being returned to service.

c. 06019 – NR2 F/O Service Relief Vlv: Relief valve for fuel oil service pump continuously relieves and chatters. SF to order new valve. Parts received. With completion of TSTA, ships force will install relief valve during upcoming transit. Ship force replaced relief valve. Relief valve in service for two days, performance SAT. CASCOR’d 24JUL06.

d. 06020 – NR4 F/O Service Relief Vlv: Relief valve for fuel oil service pump continuously relieves and chatters. SF to order new valve. Parts received. With completion of TSTA, ships force will install relief valve during upcoming transit. Ship force replaced relief valve. Relief valve in service for two days, performance SAT. CASCOR’d 24JUL06.

e. 06021 – TERASCAN Antenna: During TERASCAN sea trials on transit to Dutch harbor with Seaspace rep Eric Baptiste aboard, after 5 successful days of testing, a combination of loss of heading information and the heavy WX caused antenna damage. Seaspace rep believes that with heading loss and a steep roll the antenna broke a stop off, the additional range of motion then conspired to break the other stop. After the stops were broken the antenna, without heading info, antenna proceeded to wind itself until it caused the lower interface harness to be broken. It is also likely that the PCU has been damaged. Request ESU Seattle communicates with ship and vendor via email and coordinate repair or replacement during 12-19 June when Healy is back in Seattle. Preferred option is renewal with PSTAR's antenna to minimize effort and repair time during MPB period. There is concern about the antenna not stowing itself upon sensing a loss of heading information and Seaspace rep has stated that code should be worked on to do just that for installation after the antenna repairs. After being diverted for SAR Healy will have less than 24 hours in Dutch harbor on 6 may 06. Next port call is another visit to Dutch Harbor for 24 hours that will also include a change of command. Seaspace rep is certain that a minimum of 2 days will be required inport to safely repair this antenna if individual components are replaced. Less than one day required to renew antenna as a unit. Command and science party have agreed that repair would best be done upon Healy’s return to Seattle OOA 13 June 2006. After the repair and or replacement of the antenna request that Mr. Baptiste once again ride Healy for sea trials OOA 6 July 2006 to Dutch Harbor. Antenna from polar star installed and tested. Software patch to park antenna upon loss of heading information tested satisfactory. Field engineer from Seaspace successfully completed a full

V-9

functional check of system. Terascan system is fully operational. Appreciate significant shore support effort to execute these repairs in time for the upcoming science mission. CASCOR’d 08JUL06.

f. 06022 – Marine Gyro Distribution System: Healy experienced a catastrophic loss of heading data in NMEA 0183 format from the marine gyro interface. Testing has not uncovered the cause for the loss or survival of one expander. Healy is currently using the one remaining expander to run a prioritized group of equipment: 3 each IMS B antenna and TV-DTS antenna. Not receiving NMEA feed are: TERASCAN, Dynamic Positioning System, OE-82, and TACAN. Located expanders of different manufacturer in Dutch Harbor, currently fabricating adapter mounting assembly to restore full data output. Located expanders of different manufacturer in Dutch Harbor, currently fabricating adapter mounting assembly to restore full data output. SF locally procured Marin Elektronik Lemming 1 MK3 NMEA 0183 5 way splitters to temporarily replace the failed Noland XP14 expanders. The marine gyro interface cabinet and distribution wiring were slightly modified to accept the lemmings and a 1.5 amp fuse was installed on the output of the 12v power supply. Also on the advice of a Noland engineer the lemmings were wired in a daisy chain vice the original cascade configuration. Two lemmings were used to feed NMEA heading information to all the existing loads including 3 each IMS B Systems, TV-DTS System, TERASCAN, Dynamic Positioning System, OE-82, and TACAN. Forensic testing did not identify a cause for the original failure. Healy is awaiting replacement Noland expanders to return the system to its original configuration. Information on the lemming 1 MK3 can be found at WWW.MARINEELEKTRONIC.SE. Noland Engineering XP15 NMEA expanders were received. Though they were functionally the same as the XP14 they were not in form and fit. The decision was made to modify the physical mounting within the cabinet and use the Noland Engineer's recommendation to feed the expanders serially. Due to the new expander having an additional output and feeding the expanders serially only 3 of the new expanders were required vice the 5 XP14'S, this also helped make up for the increased size of the XP15 compared to the XP14. The cabinet was modified, new expanders installed and the system tested. NMEA Gyro Distribution System is functional. CASCOR’d 08JUL06.

2. HEALY experienced the following CASREPS: a. 06023 – NR1 Boiler: NR1 Boiler Fuel Pump Coupling failed. Pump also

has excessive shaft play. Coupling part NR: 52W2288-24 removed from shelf in April through FUIRP (Field Unit Inventory Repositioning Program). ORIG will submit web request. SF replaced coupling with coupling purchased locally in Seattle. Operational test of NR 1 Boiler proved SAT. CASCOR’d 13JUL06.

b. 06024 – PRPLN HV Plant: During large load changes HEALY is experiencing drastic voltage fluctuation in high voltage MAIN DIESEL GENERATOR (MDG) output of propulsion system. The problem is common with any combination of MDG on the HV BUS. Have been troubleshooting via email since departure fm homeport with no success. External operating conditions have steadily worsened to the recent icebreaking incident when changing throttle reference from 75% throttle position to 0%, all stop, resulted in the high voltage generator output increasing approximately 110% and the NR2 MDG’S circuit breaker tripped offline. Suspect these problems may be caused by recent changes in the newly installed voltage regulation system or other systems associated with the governor upgrade. These systems were successfully tested during bollard testing and shakedown. Current impact is operating with extra MDG online to ease load changes. Also limited throttle changes to 50percent which will reduce effectiveness in backing and ramming conditions. No on site tech assist is requested at this time while email troubleshooting continues, however request MLCPAC prepare for the contingency of a converteam tech visit to HEALY prior to RTHP. Possible embarkation 28MAY in Nome AK, to depart 05JUN in Dutch Harbor AK. Alstom Tech Reps aboard from 30May-05Jun. The adjustments to the DECS 200 AVR and the egcp-3 were completed and the problems which resulted in the CASREP have been resolved. Although well within standards, the more aggressive level of AVR tuning required to reduce the

V-11

voltage dips during initial heavy load application results in a voltage hunting at high power levels, especially with single-unit operation. The hunting is stable and is within 2 percent of the test period average in stable load conditions. Efforts to tune out the hunting while maintaining sufficiently aggressive response were not successful. Appreciate MLCPAC and NESU assistance for extremely remote tech support on short notice. CASCOR’d 07JUN06.

c. 06025 – TV-DTS: TV-DTS system suffered a complete loss of signal from the satellite. Troubleshooting by SF found that the horizontal section of the satellite signal processor would not pass the signal. As per the TV-DTS guide troubleshooting tips, SF switched the antenna feed to the vertical section of the processor resulting in a minimal signal level that would allow intermittent acquisition of the satellite. TV-DTS currently does not have a CIFD in CMPLUS. The COMM Satellite Data Terminal Unit CIFD was selected as the closest option. RCVD and installed SPP-10 satellite signal processor resulting in an increase of AGC to normal levels though the system still will not acquire the INTELSAT 701 satellite. Heading display on the ACU is accurate though only one leg of the RS-422 NMEA signal is connected because the high and low legs are shorted internally in the ACU. Groom currently sched by ESU for 12-16JUN06. Commercial tech assist groomed the antenna and antenna control unit and checked functionality of the remaining below deck equipment to ensure the IRD units were authorized with AFRTS. The SSP-10-2150 satellite signal processor received and installed a week earlier was found to be inoperable and was replaced with one provided by Polar Star. Some RS-422 heading and GPS input settings were found to be wrong and were corrected. Operator and maintenance training was conducted with both ship force and ESU personnel. Thank you to ESU Seattle for arranging the tech assist, parts and groom. Thank you to Polar Star for providing an operational SSP-10-2150. Thank you to ESU Seattle and SPAWAR for diverting resources to Healy on short notice. CASCOR’d 08JUL06.

d. 06026 – NR4 MDE Fuel Pipe: SF secured NR4 MDE due to a fuel leak on the supply line fuel header. Upon disassembly of the fuel header, SF found small pin holes around previous weld repairs in same area of header. SF found one-quarter inch of rust and sludge settling in the bottom of the pipe. Fuel header was cleaned by SF and DCs repaired leak by welding. This is the second repair by ship's force in the past year to the same area of the same fuel header. Request MLCPAC provide pricing and availability for Fuel Pipe. Part is not on Wartsila price list. If part is >$2500, request MLCPAC purchase and ship to Healy shore side SKs as soon as possible. Shore side SK is SK1 Steven Selph. Believe debris buildup is due to previous fop water contamination problem coupled with faulty stock system Coalescers and securing system for 5 month in ports. SF will submit a CMA for fuel system flushing on all four MDEs. Flushing should start at discharge side of the FO Coalescer-filters and include the MDE piping. Parts on order. HEALY will receive and install

V-12

parts upon RTHP. Healy has not received supply line fuel header. Request supply line fuel header be shipped to NESU Seattle.

e. 06027 – CTES Computer and Server: Ship has no trending or data collection capabilities; none of the data entry aids are operational. Unable to read the raid arrays. This system is vital to Healy’s ability to trend machinery operation and performance. System cannot be restarted and is thus not collecting machinery information. Believe that cause is a hardware failure in the disk controller. Request MLCPac arrange for Hewitt Packard (hp) tech rep and Converteam meet Healy in Seattle on 12JUN06. Request MLCPac ensure the previously intended upgrade of CTES system is included in the IPP inport work list for 2006-2007. Recommend coordinate upgrade with ESU Seattle as they will be upgrading the science data network next inport and efficiencies can be gained in support, spares and troubleshooting expertise. CTES was not capable of trending functions, SF investigated CTES including rebooting raid arrays, reseating hard drives on raid arrays, rebooting ctes server, checking services, checking log-on script, using HyperTerminal to attempt to connect to raid array, hooking external laptop via serial port to raid array, disconnecting and checking all raid array connections, and attempting to swap data and the server itself to CTES workstation. The work station would not restart. SF called Converteam hotline and after above troubleshooting received recommendation that tech visit is required. Similar problem occurred during Norway port call last year and hp tech rep repaired raid array controller. Parts are no longer commercially available. New parts installed, optest sat. HP tech rep onboard 14 June replaced and tested raid controller. CTES server and raid array operational. Converteam rep aboard also rebuilt the CTES client after finding corrupt PI system files. Highly desire the supportability upgrade of CTES is executed as planned in the 2006-7 inport. CASCOR’d 27Jun06

2. HEALY experienced the following CASREP:

a. 06028 – PRPLN #2 Shaft Bulkhead Seal: Diaphragm assy came unbolted on one side causing unusual noise in port shaft. O-ring came out of groove and was destroyed by shaft. Stopped and locked the shaft, removed the diaphragm and o- ring. Shaft seal housing is intact, but seal elements not reusable. Reassembled housing components, and placed port shaft back into operation minus seal and diaphragm. Impact, loss of watertight integrity btwn motor room and port shaft alley, port shaft remains FMC. Request MLCPAC verify all part numbers, CMPLUS part numbers do not match tech pub part numbers. Request MLCPAC purchase parts listed below for delivery to PT. Barrow, AK via ISC Seattle

b. 06029 – Boiler Sample Cooler: Cooler developed a leak on the SW side of the cooler. Upon further inspection discovered excessive corrosion on the inside of the cooler. Copper pipe in the center of the tube bundle was about 40 percent deteriorated. This cooler is critical in the operation of the boilers. Without this cooler, the chemical feed system is completely inoperable which may result in major corrosion of the boiler tubes.

c. 06030 – AUX-BLR #2 Boiler: NR 2 boiler was tripping off line and could not be reset. SF discovered that the automatic feed valve was operating intermittently resulting in the boiler tripping off line on low water level instead of filling. The only way to reset the feed valve was to cycle control power. The circuit card for the valve was replaced and level sensor probes were cleaned. SF is in the process of testing boiler for proper operation. Ships force replaced motorized actuator for feed water valve. Original valve actuator was rubbing against angle iron in boiler room causing premature failure of motorized actuated. Ship's force mounted new valve actuator in way to ensure no contact was made against angle iron. Low level feed water control relay card was also replaced. Five day op test of NR2 proved SAT. CASCOR’d 24Jul06.

d. 06031 – Incinerator Mill Pump: While attempting to replace mechanical seal on pump, ship’s force found cutter and impeller severely corroded and unusable. The pump unit and parts are not supported anymore. HEALY still has ability to burn reduced amounts of sludge at a reduced efficiency. HEALY has requested commercial replacement mill pump by procured by Polar Typedesk and requested incinerator tech manual be updated with new pump information.

e. 06032– Port Hydraulic Steering Gear: #2B Port Steering Gear developed hydraulic leak at joint between top of tank and electric motor dry-sump. Ship’s force is unable to determine exact cause of leak without disassembly. Leak rate approximately .5 gallons per day. Electric motor and shaft coupling were renewed during Dockside ’06 and operated without issue until departure from Seattle, WA on 06JUL06. Ship’s force lowered hydraulic level approximately 2 inches to reduce leak. System

V-15

remains usable for the short term. HEALY is currently not rotating steering pumps in order to prevent hydraulic oil contamination and long term damage to electric motor. HEALY is keeping #2B in service for emergency use only and thus lacks redundancy in port steering gear. HEALY has requested repairs to #2B steering gear be included in Drydock ’07 package. Existing on-board documentation is ambiguous in respect to proper sump level with, or without head-tank. HEALY has request NESU PE’s work with OEM to determine proper hydraulic fluid level and determine need for currently unused head-tanks and requested Tech Pubs be undated with currently information once obtained. Thru discussion with Port Engineers, ship’s force decided to fill 2A sump to 8” below tank top and drain 2B sump to 8” below tank top. Determined 2A sump currently filling 2B sump above required level regardless of level of two sumps. Ship’s force currently monitoring and adjusting sump levels on weekly basis. HEALY has requested MLC work with PE’s to rebuild directional control valves during inport.

f. 06034– PRPLN NR2 Shaft Stern-Tube: Port stern tube shaft seal leaks approx 100 gallons every hour into port shaft alley bilge. Due to high risk nature of in water repair, ships force will not attempt repairs unless leak worsens. Impact: no current impact on missions. Safety concern due to related casrep-06028 casualty on forward blkhd seal btwn motor room and port shaft alley. Request MLC include repair of port shaft stern tube seal in DD 07 package. MLCPAC will include repair in DD07.

G. Barrow to Kodiak (20JUL to 26aug)

1. Conducted the following BECCEs: a. MOB-E1008.3-D-9-SF-Control Major Class B Fire.

2. HEALY experienced the following CASREPS:

a. 06033– Anchor-Hdlg STBD Windlass: Unable to engage/disengage starboard wildcat using focsle control station. Wildcat clutch control pedestal inner shaft to seized to outer shaft. Ships-force disconnected focsle pedestal to allow local control from windlass rm. Impact: safety concern due to communications delay between focsle supervisor and revised wildcat controlling station below deck. Brake and speed control unaffected and remain on focsle. Request MLC amend DD-07 spec D-36 to include repairs to stbd anchor windlass clutch pedestal. As preventative measure, request MLC include inspection, and repair if required, of port anchor windlass clutch pedestal. MLCPAC will include repair in DD07.

b. 06035 – MSW Piping: Pinhole leak approx 2 in above discharge side of NR3 MSW pump discharge valve MSW-V-157. Applied rubber and hose clamp temp patch. Patch is successful in stopping the leak. Location of leak is in lower AMR 3. Piping cannot be isolated from NR2 MSW pump discharge. NR1 MSW pump currently CASREP’ed and operating at reduced capacity. Piping info can be found on USCG DWG no: 420 WAGB 256- 001. Impact: Able to continue all missions with temp patch.

V-16

Underway repairs possible, but difficult due to location of leak and leaking isolation valves. MLCPAC has added repairs for NR3 MSW pump discharge piping to DD07 misc. pipe repairs item.

c. 06036 - #2 Boiler Failed Tubes: Water noticed to be leaking from front of boiler. Secured and shifted boilers. Inspection found 2 failed tubes. Ship’s force will plug 2 tubes and return boiler to service. Boiler chemical feed and sample system currently CASREP’ed, CASREP 06029. Impact: once plugs in place, boiler will remain operational at reduced capacity.

d. 06037 – NR1 Motor LO Cooler: Previous temporary patch of pin hole leak on MSW outlet piping for #1 motor L/O Cooler further eroded to .5” diameter hole. Hole located at cooler flange in location unable to be patched. Secured #1 M/M. Free wheeling starboard shaft. Both isolation valves leak by, preventing pipe replacement without securing S/W cooling to both M/M and propulsion. Remaining piping integrity severely in doubt based on additional leak easily caused while attempting repairs to current leak. Temporary patches on both leaks holding with no system pressure only. While in Kodiak, AK personal from CGC Spar, CGC Storis, and ISC Kodiak fabricated temporary repairs, tested sat. Both M/M’s now operational. One temporary patch still in place on #1 M/M L/O Cooler. HEALY working with MLCPAC to upgrade existing 90/10 CUNI piping with 70/30 to slow the flow erosion problem and reduce critical piping ruptures.

e. 06038 – Emergency Power Generator (ADG): ADG cylinder #9 liner leaking jacket water. ADG was test run on 24AUG06, oil samples noted 10% thickening and 0% F) dilution. During oil change, milky oil and emulsified watery oil was found on inspection cover and sump walls. Jacket water was noted dripping from #9 cylinder liner. IMPACT: ADG Inoperable. Emergency power not available. Healy must remain on MDG’s during port calls.

5. Completed incinerator maintenance & training during shakedown deployment. 6. Conducted STAN inspection. 7. Conducted NAVAIR inspection. 8. On-loaded 946,914 gallons of propulsion fuel.


1. Conducted CART inspection. 2. Restored hot water service aft of house after becoming air bound. Procedures

for shifting from shore to ship water service are being reviewed to avoid repetition.

3. Successfully troubleshot Stbd boat davit with EM’s as it would not raise boat. Faulty switch identified and corrected. Required Healy to change ready boat to Healy II. Healy II was not FMC due to damaged sponson that did not get replaced during inport.

4. Discovered refrigerant leak (R404) in #1 climate control chamber. Recovered refrigerant. New evaporator ordered. See CASREP 06018. Science impact: low but may affect next science phases if new coil is not received. Current coil is no longer supported by the manufacturer.

5. Conducted MEDEVAC with Jersey Clipper. 6. Repaired #2 Windlass clutch mechanism after it jumped out of its’ track

during operation causing a slight delay during anchoring. 7. Oily water separator continues to be problematic and unreliable.

C. AWS 1-2006

1. Departed Dutch Harbor after loading science gear and personnel. 2. Shifted ventilation to winter mode. Put steam to the House, Energized steam

preheaters. 3. Renewed #1 science reefer compressor seal after a small leak was discovered.

New seals have been ordered to complete same renewal on the other science reefer and the three ship’s reefers during the upcoming maintenance availability beginning in November 2006.

4. Weekly cleaning maintenance on incinerator creates special consideration as the studs that hold the clean out door on the burn chamber have been broken and welded back in position several times in past deployments. One stud broke off and welded back into place when maintenance was conducted May 15. Studs require renewal with grade 8, heat resistant/treated material to avoid future down time.

5. Continued to troubleshoot the Oily Water Separator. Low gpm solenoid renewed and high gpm solenoid rebuilt and replaced. New high gpm solenoid ordered. See CASREP 03-05070. Ship’s force discovered two solenoid valves inoperable, feed pump wired incorrectly and motor operated valves with loose connections or wired incorrectly. Equipment groom is required to bring this equipment to a reliable state before next deployment. Manufacturer sponsored training would be very beneficial.

V-20

D. Dutch/COC/Transit/Sci Onload 1. HIFR: We had to borrow from the Mellon to pass TSTA. The one we

received from the type desk was not in useable condition because of fuel leaks. This is still an ongoing situation because the type desk is still trying to figure out if the coupling that is bad is actually replaceable or the whole rig needs to be reconditioned.

2. OWS: There is probably 40-60 man hours into that project because of various electrical and mechanical problems. We submitted a CMA to have NESU to clean the plates. They did that. We really need to have a MICA allowance for a spare OCM (oil content meter).

3. Manifolds: The final outcome of that is the DS06 contractors installed the wrong packing material hence causing leaks. We submitted a CMA for NESU to install new packing but I believe they did not have the manpower to accomplish it in Everett. Myself and Gonzalez put in 10 man hours replacing packing two days prior to the commencement of TSTA.

4. Evap 1: We sailed with only one operating Evaporator because of another DS06 contractor issue. They went way over the timeline to accomplish this overhaul project. The contractors were not finished when we got UW for shakedown. They used airplane glue to seal gaskets. When the Evap started running the glue melted all over the inside and outside. The Evap wouldn't run because of pressure/vacuum leaks caused by the glue they used. Ship's force is obligated to tear down,clean, and rebuild the Evap because the contract is complete. (We expended over 60 manhours last week doing exactly this to get another running Evap).

5. Training: We only have one person onboard who is certified for AC&R, MKC Brogan. Pipeline training is not happening for incoming personnel.

6. Incinerator: There is a long lead time on parts because there is one supplier in the US for our brand of incinerator. We had a failed stator on the dosing pump which prevented us from burning sludge.

7. FOP/LOP skid AOP's: We had two failures of the skid pump AOP's because of debris in the settling tanks. The tanks are included in the DD07 package for cleaning. 25 man hours for AOP rebuild projects.

8. Steam system: Expended over 25 hours to fix various steam leaks and replacing 10 failed valves in fan spaces 03-84-2-Q, 01-71-1-Q, 02-59-1-Q, ADG, and Dive locker.

9. LCVP and RHI's: Relay for tilt/trim on Healy1 failed. Put in order for replacement. LCVP starboard engine trim/tilt failed to actuate. Expended 20 manhours troubleshooting and adjusting.

10. Bow crane: the focsle remote clutch control inner shaft seized to the outer shaft due to salt water intrusion at the deck connection. We disconnected it from the gear box in Deck machinery room. The clutch control will work down below now but not remotely. CMA submitted.

E. TSTA 1. STBD Anchor Windlass clutch pedestal was found seized up after attempting

to anchor during TSTA. Unit disconnected the U-joint below so control of the clutch can be accomplished from below deck at the local control.

V-21

2. New steering motor #2B was installed during the one week in-port prior to TSTA. It was observed leaking fluid from a hole where all other steering motors was plugged. Aux shop will plug hole and place motor back on line.


1. Put approximately 150 gallons of water in the P/W pump room due to a miss aligned valve. Water came from the fill line relief valve. Used secondary drainage (AOP’s), wet/dry vacuum, and swabs.

2. LCVP Port engine overheated. Boat engineer found impeller parts in the sea strainer. Renewed the impeller with the on board (LCVP) spare. Boat struck what appeared to be a submerged object and damaged both stern props. Renewed both props with on board (HEALY) spares.

3. Healy 2 engine has completed the engine break-in. CASCORE to follow. Trim/tilt is not useable to due relay missing. EM shop has ordered.

4. For the last week #2 Bravo Steering Gear pump has leaked oil from below the pump after the pump plug was installed. After reviewing the tech manual and information received from the previous Port Engineer (ENS Meadowcroft) there is conflicting issues. Unit will wait for more information for directions to pursue.

5. Put steam to the house today with no known problems. 6. Drained #2B steering gear hydraulic oil sump by approximately 2 inches. 7. Found humidity valve closed for the 03 deck in the fan space. Opened valve

to provide the 03 deck with humidity for crew comfort.

G. Barrow to Kodiak 1. Discovered #2 Evap S/W inlet to first stage piping leaking on the “T” fitting.

Used Belzon to repair leak on #2 Evap S/W inlet to first stage piping “T” fitting.


1. OWS is short cycling and the dump cycle doesn’t appear to be working. Ships force will take a look at the condition of the upper plates and attempt to clean. Ships force will attempt to pressure wash the lower plates in place and place OWS back together. EM shop will investigate dump solenoid and relay. After further investigation and pressure washing the OWS plates in place all is working well

F. Seattle to Barrow, AWS 2-2006 1. Electrical Training (Cadick): EMCM Witt, EM1 Jopling, EM2, Padilla and

EM2 Wilson TDY from NESU along with Healy Shop personnel and attended Central Power plant maintenance training put on by John Mospens of Cadick 7 July 2006.

V-23

2. Had voltage problem with #3 MDG when Generator was running as a single engine. Voltage increased during throttle movement and took 6.5 minutes to decrease from 7200 plus volts to its normal 6600 vac.

3. # 2 Boiler trouble shoot and repair. Found motorized valve was originally installed too close to bulkhead frame which caused Valve stem to bind during operation.

4. Trouble shoot and repaired Oily Water Separator (OWS). OWS is working but needs some electronic components replaced do to intermittent contact operations. Do not have the replacement parts for these items since they were removed from Healy’s stock during the last inport. Recommend this OWS get groomed from the manufacturer during our dry dock inport in Seattle 07.

5. Troubleshoot and repair Oceanographic wince 1 & 2 found bad cooling fan on Oceanographic winch BCN

6. Trouble shoot # 1 MDE Amot valve. Determined we may have a bad potentiometer / need to replace. Have no information on this potentiometer however EM1 Jopling of NESU will try to locate and procure this part.

7. Continue to troubleshoot AFT Gray water TLI has not work properly for two years and continues to read incorrectly. Recommend we have a CSMP, CMA to have all IAN-Conrab Bergan TLI systems groomed and have tank capacities and actual TLI’s verified for proper programming as well as have some Crew training in Maintenance and repair of replacement and calibration of all above TLI systems. AEO- I know I said that we would fix these ourselves, but the Aft Gray TLI is totally kicking our ass and we have messed up a few more trying to mix match parts while trying to get the Aft TLI working properly. These systems are PLC programs and are not being very cooperative. Need some training and groom work done with these.

8. Had problems with Port bridge 12 inch remote control search light had ships force overhaul and rebuild. Found internal mechanisms totally corroded with major salt deposits and moisture contaminations. Did not have proper replacement parts to repair and restore due to spare parts for this equipment being take off Healy during last inport. Cost of parts was approximately $48.00 and since they were removed it cost approximately $400.00 to have them shipped from our new storage place to our location off Barrow Alaska. Not very cost effective to remove a $48.00 part.

CHAPTER VII – Training 1. Training Officer A. Pre-Deployment Preparations & Seattle to Dutch Harbor(30 Apr-7 May)

1. Created and executed General Military Training schedule in accordance with the Cutter Training and Qualifications Manual.

2. Went over CART checklist with ATG riders.

3. Identified weaknesses: Unit Training Instruction, Unit Training Plan, and drill tracking system.

B. AWES 06-01(07 May – 05 Jun) 1. Drafted a Unit Training Instruction to be inserted into the CORM. 2. Created a Unit Training Plan using an MS Outlook calendar.

3. Held a Training Board Meeting to discuss drill tracking system.

4. Created an excel spreadsheet and folders to track completed drills.

5. Held GMT sessions to ensure all pre-TSTA required training was met (e.g.

first aid, hearing/sight conservation, and heat stress).

6. Completed several GE drills in preparation for TSTA. Focused on Mainspace Fire Doctrine scenarios, flooding in the bow thruster void, and toxic gas leaks from the science reefer equipment room.

C. TSTA (20 Jun – 06 Jul)

1. Created and utilized daily schedule with drill/training times. The schedule was updated each evening at an 1815 ITT meeting. It proved to be a valuable time management tool for both OBTTs and ATG riders.

2. Completed two SCATS. ITT became proficient at holding briefs and

making a workable timeline. A meeting was held a few days before the SCAT to make changes to the scenario. The Training Officer implemented these changes and collected each OBTT section the day before the official ITT brief. At least 30 minutes are needed for each debrief.

3. Obtained new drill props. These consist of a flags with three parts for the

crew to be able to tell if a casualty is present, engaged, or out. To supplement the flags, color coded strobe lights are now used to help designate fire types. Below is an image of these props in use:

Informed Admin to have patient fly back to Seattle from Dutch Harbor that day and report to ISC Seattle for follow-up. Had 01 crewmember lose cap on tooth implant just prior to getting underway on the morning of the 06JUN. Patient was sent to Unalaska dentist for emergency repair ASAP and picked up by liberty van with only approx. 30 minute delay in getting vessel underway. The Dutch Harbor Dentist (there is only 1) is there periodically but usually during the summer months and fishing season. He does a great job for where he is and what he’s got. If any future CG vessels need emergency dental care, call ahead and query if he is there: (907) 581-3828.

2. Treated at least 10 crew and scientists for seasickness, due to rough seas.

Transit spent in TSTA preparations and CART discrepancy corrections including the posting of all noise level placards, ensuring adequate hearing protection in all spaces as appropriate, updating training logs and records.

E. TSTA

1. Ship’s Physician Assistant returned to work at ISC clinic for ship’s 3-week TSTA evolution upon clinic’s request. TSTA final report stated in part: “Marked improvement in enthusiasm and skill of first responders. First Aid drills increased in complexity over 3-week course of TSTA.”

IX-3

2. During the TSTA period, 01 crewmember fell down ladder and broke R fibula (approx. 10 weeks rehab). 01 crewmember detained for follow-up dental work, and 01 member to stay ashore for physical therapy and follow-up care following R shoulder injury.

3. On the final day of TSTA an actual casualty was experienced in the Main

Boiler Space. An MK2 was working on a live steam valve with goggles and face shield as instructed by his MKC. High pressure steam hit the MK2 in the face on the right side. He was taken to hospital and released with only 1st degree burns to the face. Thanks to a sharp-eyed supervisor, this HEALY crewmember was likely spared a much more serious injury. Due to the satisfactory response of the HEALY crew TSTA was concluded early.

4. Overall, BZ to HSC Andersen and ET2 Matt Regele (our lead EMT) for

writing, running, and preparing patients with moulage for all drills during TSTA. HEALY was awarded its first battle “E” ribbon as a result of the coordinated efforts of the HEALY crew.

F. Seattle to Barrow (7 Jul-18 Jul)

1. 20 patient encounters during this period covering food handler’s screenings, routine acute care, and one minor procedure (toenail removal). LTJG Carr continued to stand JOOD watches and HSC Andersen completed her LSO qualification.

3. Medical housekeeping continues:

sterilized dental and medical instruments using shipboard autoclave, HSC begins this week to work on quality assurance (QA) all medical records. This period saw Healy Medical Division pioneer the operational use of the Alaska Federal Health Care Network’s (AFCAN) cart.

This is a unique computer cart that is connected to a main database via our Iridium line. It enables us to transmit patient records and encounters, photo images of ear, dental and other conditions via 3 different cameras, and serves as a tool for transmitting patient records for consult and review to shore side physicians.

The new Alaska Federal Health Care Network Cart: a new useful tool pioneered in the polar class by the HEALY!

IX-4

G. AWS 2-06 1. From 18 Jul to 02 August, 33 patients encountered, all with minor illnesses

and problems. For one patient the physician assistant and the HSC were able to use the new AFHCAN cart to send a digital photo to the ISC Seattle clinic for further diagnoses.

2. We invested in some funds for a new x-ray plate that intensifies images and

theoretically would expose the patient to less radiation. After expending 8 or 9 film exposures trying to get a legible image, we decided (for now) to just use the old plates and the old method. We will research this issue further.

3. Operationally we are at a very high tempo now and we have split the crew into

port and starboard sections for Helo ops purposes. This leg will be the most exhausting and trying for the crew and the command has endorsed some very good ideas so far: No piping flight quarters, therefore, fire teams, tiedowns, LSO and HCO’s are notified by pager. These and other good ideas will be discussed at the Crew Endurance Management natural working group, which

is a Commandant-mandated program up, and conducting the survey among the crew for the next two weeks.

4. Hearing protection is an important issue and the Medical Division is

responsible for providing hearing protection devices for each new person checking in. Medical has, up to this point, also been responsible for stocking the boxes around the ship for disposable “foamies.” Now each department with hearing protection boxes will be responsible for stocking these small but important items.

5. 28 Jul: Training was given on OPA’s (oral pharyngeal airways), the basic

review of ABC’s, and also cervical collar use and precautions. HSC Andersen, now working a midnight to noon shift for flight ops purposes, has been diligently doing Quality Assurance on every member’s record, while Mr. Carr takes care of patients and the daily chores of water testing, and O2 bottle tests. So far, there has been no compromise in effectiveness or efficiency of medical due to flight operations or voluntary watchstanding. If anything, working separate shifts, though tiring, is increasing quality and quantity of work being accomplished.

6. 18 Jul-31 Jul: 22 patient encounters and 13 drugs prescribed for various

conditions on board, all minor acute illness. One patient, a young WM, diagnosed with an unusual skin rash for adults, pityriasis rosea. Atypical herald patch on lower abdomen, then 2 weeks later, a diffuse maculopapular rash distributed on anterior trunk. The patient’s rash is resolving currently, the only treatment is benadryl cream to control itch. This was the most unusual derm case of our trip so far.

7. 01-16 Aug: 25 patient encounters during this period. Daily ship’s evolutions

continuing with science coring, undersea mapping, and deployment of the “boomers” which are underwater sounding rigs. One scientist, 34 y/o WM seen for a recurring bilat leg furunculitis. Treated in July with keflex, treating this time with oral cipro 750 mg bid for 10 days. Infection resolved by 15 Aug. HSC Andersen continues comprehensive quality control of all records and 04 Aug identified 23 crewmembers in need of immunizations and administered all needed shots. First aid kits in small boats updated this period and labeled stretcher in hangar.

8. 17 AUG 06: Two fatalities on board HEALY this day. After performing

science work approximately 500 nm north by northwest of Barrow, AK, two divers went diving off the ice during ice liberty. LT Jessica Hill, aged 31 and BM2 Steven Duque, aged 22 were on an ice orientation dive. Safety observers on the surface noticed a problem and began pulling the divers to the surface. Depth gauges read depths in excess of 180 feet. Stretcher bearers and others directed by HSC Andersen and LTJG Carr performed CPR with bag valve and oxygen. Mr. Carr performed all ACLS protocols with negative results. Both

IX-6

divers were pronounced dead by Mr. Carr at 2001 local time 17 Aug 2006 under direction of Dr. Bostwick of PACAREA, Flight Surgeon.

H. Transit to Barrow and to Kodiak

1. 18 AUG-26 AUG. Following this tragic loss of our two shipmates we transited through the ice at best speed to make for Barrow, AK some 500 nm south by south east. Their bodies were kept in a science climate controlled refrigerator and locked. HEALY arrived in the vicinity of Barrow, AK on Sun 20 Aug, where we flew off LT Jessica Hill and BM2 Steven Duque. They were escorted off by shipmates in dress uniform to the flight deck, their flag covered bodies were carefully placed one in each helicopter. The ship’s company was in formation as the cortege was escorted to the aircraft with chaplain. Prayers were read addressed to the crew saying final good-bye to our shipmates. 2 copies of each deceased’s medical records were made and one copy sent with bodies for medical examiners to refer. Dental x-rays were scanned and sent to Madigan for medical examiner’s reference.

2. A sad transit to Kodiak, our cases now are shipmates suffering from acute

stress, spontaneous weeping, difficulty sleeping, and anxiety. For those having trouble sleeping, medical division is administering benadryl in limited quantities on an OTC basis as a short-term sleep aid. As medical officer, LTJG Carr, is always hesitant to give sleep medications but in this trying circumstance it willing to distribute limited quantities on a case by case basis for short term treatment only. A Chaplain and CISM team met us at Barrow and were flown to the ship via helicopter which is a great help to members suffering most acutely from the stress of this tragedy.

3. Routine acute clinical cases include 2 cases of nausea and vomiting and 2

URI’s. Clinic mainly focused on treating crewmembers suffering from grief, acute stress and difficulty sleeping following traumatic death of two shipmates. Chaplain and CISM team aboard are providing much needed outlet for members to talk about this event. Admin and Investigative board members have embarked on HEALY to investigate cause of accident. Making way to Kodiak with one stop of Nome to disembark majority of science party via helicopter and embark ADM Thad Allen who will address the crew on Wed.

I. KODIAK

1. The purpose of making this unscheduled stop in Kodiak was to “let the crew relax and de-stress”. Healy’s XO, CDR Jackson offered to have a Physician Assistant fly up to Kodiak and make the trip back to Seattle as peer support for Mr. Carr. CISM team continues to do group and individual interviews with crewmembers to sort out emotional states of individual members.

2. A memorial service was held for LT Hill and BM2 Duque on Tue Aug 29 at

Star of the Sea Chapel on USCG ISC Kodiak. Many of the crew attended. Especially helpful having HSC Roy here from the Naval Dive Salvage and

IX-7

Training Center, Panama City, Florida as part of the CISM team. LT Dan Waddingham PA-C also met the ship for peer support for Mr. Carr.

J. KODIAK TO SEATTLE

1. For the transit to Seattle, MED division solicited for any member who may need referrals to specialists upon RTHP so those appointments could be expedited. Sick call consisted of 10 minor acute illnesses.

2. Family members have been briefed by CISM team ashore. Crew will take a

week of rolling 72 liberties and then return to work. Mr. Waddingham will come on board to coordinate screenings for any members who may need counseling in the coming weeks.

2. Recommendations

1. Medical preparations for this trip carried out and executed by HSC Andersen were thorough, complete, and forehanded. We stocked up on over-the-counter medications and stepped up our own shipboard OTC program. This paid off increased service to shipmates for minor conditions. For any ship deploying we recommend a thorough review of equipment as well: AED and LIFEPAK batteries, O2 bottles and hydrostatic tests, EKG pads, x-ray machine, etc., etc. All these details were double-checked by the independent duty corpsman prior to the u/w and having all equipment in good working order and ready to go really paid off.

2. For PA’s deploying we recommend the corpsman survey the oncoming “doc”

prior to u/w and ask if there are any medications he/she prefers to use that are non-formulary so they can be ordered and on board for an upcoming trip.

3. Re: Diving. The investigation is ongoing as to the cause of the accident so at

this point any comment or speculation regarding the incident would not be appropriate here. HEALY personnel, medical team, stretcher bearers and first responders were praised for acting professionally and appropriately when the divers surfaced with no breathing, no pulse. This is a credit to HSC Andersen’s certifying the crew in the Red Cross Basic Lifesaving Course and numerous medical drills and training sessions in preparation for the 2006 CART/TSTA evolutions.

4. For CART/TSTA, the key to success was train, train, train, drill, drill, drill.

GITMO EIGHT wounds (the standard set of medical casualty drills for TSTA riders) was reviewed to the point of annoying the crew, but when the drills came, actions were almost automatic. Each member was issued a card with the GITMO EIGHT written on it for quick reference. Reminder entries for medical drills were posted by Mr. Carr in daily POD entries. Moulage was used for maximum effect. All-hands reviews were done monthly then weekly as TSTA approached. All this led to the HEALY earning its first “E” ribbon.

CHAPTER X – PUBLIC AFFAIRS 1. Summary A. Pre-Deployment Preparations

1. Many large groups toured the ship during HEALY’s in port period preparing for AWS ’06. Some of the notable groups that toured the ship include:

a. Approximately 70 senior officers from all branches of the military attending a FEMA sponsored Homeland Security Response conference in Seattle.

b. 15 Boy Scouts that arranged to sleep on board HEALY. The troop arrived on a Saturday just before dinner and stayed through breakfast the next morning. They were accommodated in extra science berthing. Activities included a tour of the ship and a movie marathon in science conference lounge.

c. Two separate tours were given to employees of Argosy Cruises. The company operates guided harbor cruises that pass ISC Seattle on a daily basis.

2. Prior to HEALY’s departure from Seattle on AWS ’06, the PAO presented the conservator at the CG History Museum at ISC Seattle with the ship’s cruise t-shirt design. This was used to create the cruise cachet stamp for philatelists’ requests. The process worked well and benefits both the ship and the museum; recommend using this same process for future deployments.

B. Seattle to Dutch Harbor/CART NSTR.

C. AWS 06-01

1. In the final few days of this mission, HEALY embarked two news media personnel via Helo from Nome, AK. One was from Alaska Public Radio and the other was an independent video journalist. Both were arranged for by the science party. The products of their visit was not collected or archived by HEALY personnel.

2. A change of Command was held in Dutch Harbor on June 5, 2006. Some members of the community were present including the Mayor of Unalaska.

D. Dutch Harbor/Change of Command/Transit/Sci Onload NSTR.

E. TSTA

1. A dependents cruise was held on June 19, 2006 for HEALY’s transit from Seattle to Everett for TSTA training.

X-2

2. On July 4th, HEALY opened the ship for tours at the request of Naval Station

Everett. The duty section was augmented by members from the naval station in order to accommodate the guests.

3. Shortly before HEALY left Everett a tour and interview was given to Sandi

Doughton, a science reporter with The Seattle Times.

F. Seattle to Barrow NSTR.

G. AWS 06-02 1. PACAREA Public Affairs sent PA2 Prentice Danner to photograph and

document HEALY’s AWS-06-02 science mission. PA2 Danner assisted in promoting public awareness about HEALY’s mission. Three of his pictures were published in Washington Newspapers and websites.

2. PA2’s pictures of the rendezvous

between HEALY and POLAR SEA during the science mission were included in the Commandant’s weekly briefing.

3. PA2 helped numerous

crewmembers with hometown news releases.

4. Following the tragic events of

August 17th communications with the shore were temporarily cut by the command. At this point PACAREA Public Affairs took over HEALY’s public affairs efforts. Once they were restored all press inquires were run through LCDR Smith at Pacific Area Public Affairs to ensure that no speculative information was released that might have the potential to compromise the investigations into the accident.

5. Newspapers across the country ran stories on the accident based primarily on

the initial press release made by PACAREA Public Affairs which contained faulty information. About a week later articles ran in Florida covering the memorial services for LT Hill and BM2 Duque.

X-3

H. Kodiak, AK 1. Media guidance was provided to the crew prior to HEALY’s arrival in

Kodiak, however there was no media interest in HEALY during the port call.

2. HEALY was not open to the general public for tours; however several Coast Guard members stationed in Kodiak were given tours by various members of the crew over the course of the port call.

I. Transit to Homeport

1. Media guidance was provided to the crew prior to HEALY’s arrival in Seattle, as D13 Public Affairs had warned the command of strong media interest in Seattle.

2. A television news team and a reporter from the Post-Intelligencer were at the pier when HEALY returned to Seattle. They were escorted by D13 Public Affairs. Both were given interviews with the command and the PAO. The reporter from the Post-Intelligencer was given a tour by the PAO following the interview. Care was taken to see that crew members were not bothered by the media during their homecoming.

2. Outreach

A. Website HEALY’s primary method of outreach during thee 2006 deployment was the http://www.uscg.mil/pacarea/healy/ website. Over 4 months 11 updates were written by the XO and posted to the website. Each of the updates was accompanied by four pictures taken by the PAO, crew members or the embedded PA2. The PAO compiled the pictures, wrote captions and sent them along with each update to the shore side SK’s who then posted them on the website. The embedded PA2 also wrote three features on three different divisions on HEALY. These were posted in a “Spotlight on…” section on the website by shore side SK’s with some help from the PACAREA Webmaster. Updates and pictures were also sent to the OMBUDSMAN for his MyFamily website.

B. Email Correspondence

As the contact person listed on the website, the PAO received numerous emails over the course of the deployment. Emails dealing with Healy’s hull composition, ordering things from the ship’s store, a potential congressional hearing on board HEALY, press inquiries and the names of line crossing societies were all sent to the PAO. PAO dealt with the correspondence appropriately forwarding important messages to the command and replying to the others personally.

X-4

C. Written Correspondence

Over the course of the year HEALY receives hundreds of letters from the general public. The vast majority of these are stamp collectors sending self-addressed envelopes and requesting cachet stamps. The museum curator in Seattle provides a cachet stamp at the beginning of each cruise from the design used for the cruise T-shirts. In June the PAO stamped and mailed over 300 envelopes to locations around the world. Over a hundred additional requests were received over the course of AWS 2-06. They will be stamped and mailed shortly. HEALY also receives a very small amount of other written correspondence that is dealt with appropriately by the PAO.

3. Recommendations

A. Continue having shore side SK’s load updates onto the website while HEALY is deployed as connectivity makes it impossible for this to be done by PAO. To facilitate this, ensure that shore side SK’s have webmaster privileges and the skills required to post the updates before HEALY leaves on deployment. If shore side SK’s are planning to take leave, PAO should be informed and alternate arrangements with PACAREA Webmaster should be made for the leave period. This will ensure that updates are always put online in a timely manner.

B. If an incident occurs onboard that will draw large amounts of media attention,

PACAREA Public Affairs will most likely make the press release. It is critical that someone from the command has direct communication (phone or email) with PACAREA Public Affairs before making the release. This will limit the potential for incorrect information being released to the public.

C. Embedded Public Affairs Specialists are excellent assets. PAO should check into

the possibility of having one come on board for any major deployment. Not only does it raise the profile of the cutter nationwide, but the crew benefits from having a dedicated photographer and someone trained in hometown press releases.

D. Ensure that written or email correspondence received that has important

consequences for the ship is immediately forwarded to the command.

E. Hometown News releases are very simple to fill out and submit. Future PAOs should offer to help crewmembers with this as it is another way to improve the quality of life for HEALY’s crew.

CHAPTER XI - Dive 1. Summary

A. Pre-Deployment Preparations 1. During the Seattle inport, the SCUBA tanks were given annual visual

inspections. Additional dive gear was purchased to replace lost, damaged or expended items such as fins, dry suit gloves and rings, and mask/snorkel sets. Further renovation of the locker set-up and completion of the compressor move (to hangar) was delayed due to personnel transfers and awaiting the delivery of parts.

2. The dive team lost two members but gained BM2 Steven Duque after successful completion of dive school in March, and EM1 Daniel Hurtado, a transfer from POLAR STAR and a qualified dive supervisor. The dive officer, LT Jessica Hill was extended for a year. Also incoming this summer is ENS Rachel Beckman who attended basic SCUBA as a 1/c cadet.

3. Prior to BM2 Phil Dawalt’s departure, the team participated in his underwater re-enlistment and fun dive at the Edmonds SCUBA “park.” All divers are current on their quals.

B. Seattle to Dutch Harbor/CART 1. No dive related activities were conducted during this time period.

C. AWS 1-06 1. No dive related activities were conducted during this time period.


1. No dive related activities were conducted during this time period.

E. TSTA 1. The compressor cascade tanks were given hydrostatic tests and are now

current through May 2011.

F. Seattle to Barrow 1. ENS Beckman arrived onboard during the Barrow personnel transfer. She is

current on her dive activity. We will conduct recertification dives in Dutch Harbor. With the proposed split between assigning the Marine Science Officer as the Dive Officer, it is recommended that ENS Beckman attend the basic dive officer course upon HEALY’s return to Seattle this fall and take over this collateral upon LT Hill’s departure.

G. AWS 2-06

1. Dive team members held informational/recruiting meeting to provide an overview of expectations while at dive school, and determine how many HEALY crewmembers were interested in becoming divers. Approximately 7 people voiced an interest in SCUBA school.

The Diver’s Prayer Almighty God, Our Heavenly Father, we, who descend into the depths of the seas ask

Your protection and guidance in your aquatic kingdom. We pray You find value in those who search the waters of the Seven Seas to increase the knowledge of human kind, to seek and understand the vast mysteries of our past as well as that abundant world which lives below the surface of the water, and enjoy this new

found world and all it has to offer. As we small people work below, Dear God, watch over us and help us to return safely to

our surface world. But, Heavenly Father, should we perish in this watery world, we ask that You forgive us,

cleanse our hearts and redeem our souls, and lead us to serve You forever and ever. Amen.

AT TIMES, EVEN WHILE PIERSIDE, THERE WERE 12-14 HOUR DOWNTIMES WITH NO CLEAR CAUSE DETERMINED. B. IRIDIUM: COMMS THROUGH REACHBACK GENERALLY RELIABLE. IRIDIUM PROVIDED PRIMARY SCIENCE PARTY DATA AND EMAIL TRANSFER AT ALL LATITUDES. IRIDIUM PHONE THROUGH MXU2000 SINGLE CHANNEL UNIT WAS THE PRIMARY VOICE COMMUNICATIONS CIRCUIT WITH MINI-M SERVING AS SECONDARY. IRIDIUM FUNCTIONED WELL FOR BOTH VOICE AND DATA AT HIGHEST LATITUDES REACHED (APPROX 80N). 5. SCIENCE: A.

PRESENT) ASSESSMENT OF BENTHICS IN THE BERING SEA NEAR ST.LAWRENCE ISLAND. HEALY COMPLETED 118 STATIONS IN 26 DAYS, INCLUDING 1,004 OVER-THE-SIDE EVOLUTIONS (533 VAN-VEEN BOTTOM GRABS, 126 CTD CASTS, 102 ZOOPLANKTON NETS, 98 HAPS BOTTOM CORES, 74 OTTER BOTTOM TRAWLS AND 71 UV METER DIPS). B. HLY 06-02 (18 JUL - 17 AUG): 31 DAY NSF MISSION TO COLLECT SEISMIC DATA ON THE CHUKCHI BORDERLAND, INCLUDING THE NORTHWIND RIDGE, CHUKCHI PLATEAU AND MENDELEEV RIDGE. HELICOPTERS DEPLOYED 90- LB SEISMOMETERS ONTO ICE FLOES AT 6NM INTERVALS ALONG TRACKS (3 ROUTES, 90NM EACH). 165NM OF SEISMIC DATA WAS COLLECTED DURING 84 TOTAL HRS TOWING PNEUMATIC DEVICE CLOSE ASTERN. HLY 06-02 MISSION ALSO INCLUDED CORING ON THE CHUKCHI BORDERLAND: COLLECTED 5 BENTHOS GRAVITY CORES (3 METERS), 3 LARGE GRAVITY CORES (7 METERS) AND 9 JUMBO PISTON CORES (51 METERS). 6. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS: A. 4 - 6 MAY S/V JERSEY CLIPPER MEDEVAC: SEE REF C. B. 20 JUN - 6 JUL TSTA: CART COMPLETED DURING TRANSIT FROM SEATTLE TO DUTCH HARBOR. HEALY RETURNED TO PUGET SOUND FOR TSTA BETWEEN AWS 06-01 AND AWS 06-02 MISSIONS. 100% OF 41 REQUIRED TERMINAL OBJECTIVES COMPLETED. C. 17 AUGUST CLASS-A DIVE MISHAP: SEE REFS A, B. 7. ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE SYSTEMS: A. BOILERS: BLOWN TUBES ON NR 2 BOILER, FUEL PUMP COUPLING ON BOTH BOILERS, CHEMICAL FEED SYSTEM LEAKS. B. SHAFT SEALS: STBD BULKHEAD SEAL FAILED DURING BOLLARD TESTING; REPLACED BY NESU SEATTLE. PORT BULKHEAD SEAL AND THE PORT SHAFT SEAL FAILED DURING HLY 06-02 MISSION (REPAIRS SCHED FOR 2006 DRYDOCK.) SHIP IS MONITORING LEAKS AND PUMPING SHAFT ALLEY EVERY 8 HRS WHILE MOORED. INFLATABLE SEAL FAILED TO STOP LEAK UPON RTHP. WORKING WITH MLC FOR TECH REP ASSISTANCE AND IN-WATER REPAIRS PRIOR TO DD-07. BOTH SHAFT SEALS SCHEDULED FOR RENEWAL IN DD-07. C. SALTWATER PIPING: THERE ARE CURRENTLY 2 ASW AND 5 MSW EMERGENCY TEMP REPAIRS FOR CHRONIC SALTWATER PIPING EROSION. A VARIABLE-SPEED PUMP CONTROLLER WAS INSTALLED ON THE ASW SYSTEM DURING THIS TRIP IN AN ATTEMPT TO REDUCE THE FLOW RATE OF WATER

E-5

THROUGH THE PIPING. ALL TEMP REPAIRS ARE SCHEDULED FOR PERMANANT RENEWAL IN DD-07 CONTRACT, BUT SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE TO BOTH ASW AND MSW PIPING SINCE DELIVERY AND WE EXPECT NEW LEAKS TO OCCUR UNTIL ALL ERODED SECTIONS ARE REPAIRED. D. CYCLOCONVERTERS: HEALY EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TRIPS AT LOW SPEEDS AND LIGHT LOADS. IDENTIFIED AND REPAIRED LOOSE CONNECTIONS, BUT UNABLE TO FIND MORE DEFINITIVE CAUSE. E. AVR UPGRADE: DESPITE RIGOROUS TESTING OF AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR SYSTEM UPGRADE PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT, UNDERWAY SUPPORT FROM THE IPP CONTRACT WAS REQUIRED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. UPGRADE DID RESULT IN IMPROVED LOAD SHARING BETWEEN GENERATORS. ONE INCIDENT OF EXCESSIVE HIGH VOLTAGE OUTPUT DURING SINGLE GENERATOR OPERATION REQUIRED MANUAL VOLTAGE REDUCTION. F. STBD ANCHOR WINDLASS CLUTCH: UNABLE TO ENGAGE/DISENGAGE STARBOARD WILDCAT USING FOCSLE CONTROL STATION. WILDCAT CLUTCH CONTROL PEDESTAL INNER SHAFT SEIZED TO OUTER SHAFT. SHIP’S FORCE DISCONNECTED FOCSLE PEDESTAL TO ALLOW LOCAL CONTROL FROM WINDLASS ROOM. G. TERASCAN: TERASCAN ANTENNA EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS LOSING AZIMUTH LOCATION AND DRIVING TO ENDSTOP. AFTER ANTENNA REPLACEMENT AND SOFTWARE PATCH IN JUNE, TERASCAN STILL LOST AWARENESS OF AZIMUTH. THIS IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ANY LOSS OF HEADING, POWER, OR VIBRATION. AT IRREGULAR INTERVALS THE SYSTEM DRIVE ITSELF TO AN AZIMUTH ENDSTOP AND OVERHEATS THE MOTOR. SEASPACE IS ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM. 8. CO COMMENTS: A. LDEO CONTRACT: THE NSF-FUNDED SCIENCE SYSTEMS SUPPORT CONTRACT WITH COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY'S LAMONT-DOHERTY EARTH OBSERVATORY IS MEETING THE GOAL OF PROVIDING EXPERTISE AND CONSISTENCY IN ONBOARD SCIENTIFIC TECHNICAL SUPPORT. B. AVIATION SUPPORT: SCIENCE REQUIREMENTS WERE FULLY MET BY OUR CIV AVDET. THE CIVILIAN AVDET INTEGRATED WELL AND WERE EFFECTIVE. MARITIME HELICOPTER COMPANY PROVIDED ONE BELL 206L3 HELICOPTER AND 2-PERSON FLIGHT CREW (PILOT/MECH) FOR HLY 06-01 MISSION AND TWO

E-6

206L3 HELOS AND A 4-PERSON CREW (2 PILOTS/2 MECHS) FOR HLY 06-02 MISSION. THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR’S AVIATION MANAGEMENT DIRECTORATE PROVIDED ONE AVIATION MGR FOR EACH MISSION; THIS MGR SERVED AS THE COMMAND INTERFACE WITH THE AVDET AND CAN BE FUNCTIONALLY COMPARED TO THE ‘SENIOR AVIATOR’ POSITION IN A CG AVDET. REF D DISCUSSES MORE THOROUGHLY OTHER POTENTIAL ISSUES SUCH AS DEGRADED SAR CAPABILITY, VFR-ONLY LIMITS AND FLIGHT FOLLOWING. C. BARROW ARCTIC SCIENCE CONSORTIUM (BASC): BASC PROVIDES NECESSARY LOGISTICS SUPPORT TO HEALY AND EMBARKING/DISEMBARKING SCIENTISTS IN BARROW. BASC PERSONNEL ALSO HELP HEALY TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN POSITIVE RELATIONS WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES BY COORDINATING SHIP LOGISTICS WITH LOCAL WHALE AND SEAL HUNTS, AND THEY SERVE AS OUR LINK TO REGIONAL GOV’T AND ORGANIZATIONS. D. NORTHSLOPE BOROUGH SAR (BARROW): AS IN PAST YEARS, NORTHSLOPE BOROUGH SAR PROVIDED FREE USE OF THEIR HANGAR FACILITY FOR HEALY LOGISTICS, A MUCH-NEEDED BASE OF OPERATIONS AT BARROW AIRPORT. E. U.S. NAVAL ICE CENTER ICE IMAGERY: THE HIGH RESOLUTION ICE IMAGERY PROVIDED BY NIC WAS ACCURATE AND PROVED ESSENTIAL TO OUR EFFICIENT TRANSIT IN ARCTIC WATERS. 9.
