USS GEORGE WASHINGTON (CVN 73) XO GRAM 5-15

GW Warriors,

I. Zone Inspections ensure:

a. Material and combat readiness.

b. Personnel and ship safety.

c. The ship operates throughout a 50 year service life.

II. Work together as a team during Zone Inspections. Be tough and uphold the high standards and expectations of USS GEORGE WASHINGTON.

III. UNSAT Zone Inspection Criteria:

a. All Repair-level 1 discrepancies, immediate danger to personnel or equipment. Zone Inspector report immediately to the Safety Officer/Damage Control Assistant, who will ensure these safety/damage control discrepancies are corrected within 24 hours. All degraded damage control fittings will be logged in the Out of Commissioned (OOC) Log in Damage Control Center (DCC).

b. Repeat discrepancies, documented material ZIDL hits from previous zone inspection that should have been resolved at the divisional level, but no corrective action was taken. If there is no ZIDL for zone inspector to review = UNSAT.

c. Damage control fire bottle missing from space or PMS date out-of-periodicity. Emergency Egress Breathing Device (EEBD) missing from space. EEBDs with an expiration date out-of-periodicity do not constitute an UNSAT grade, but need to be annotated on the space ZIDL.

d. Space not ready for zone inspection (unkept, debris on deck, trash bins not empty, gear adrift, excessive high dust, etc.).

e. Compartment Check-Off List (CCOL) missing = UNSAT.

K. A. STRONG

PHOTOLUMINESCENT (EGRESS) MARKINGS GUIDE

NSTM 079-21.7 DAMAGE CONTROL MARKING SYSTEM079-21.7.1 DESCRIPTION. The primary purpose of the damage control marking system is to provide rapid emergency egress information and to identify the locations of selected damage control systems and equipment. Inclined lad-ders are to be marked by applying photoluminescent strips on the inner frame, alternating sides with each step. The handrails will be marked with six bands wrapped on each side, as shown in Figure 079-21-4. Vertical ladders are to have photoluminescent strips applied to both rails along the entire vertical length, alternating sides with each rung, also shown in Figure 079-21-4.

COMPARTMENT CHECK-OFF LIST (CCOL) GUIDE

Compartment check-off lists (CCOLs) are required for every compartment or weather deck area where damage control facilities are located. They are permanently posted in the compartment near each access opening or in the area concerned. They provide an itemized list and location of all damage control classified fittings and are for the ready use of personnel responsible for the setting of material conditions of readiness. Pen and ink changes are not authorized on computerized CCOLs. The DCA will maintain a master CCOL hard copy and a backup disk when the CCOL is computerized.

NSTM 079 DAMAGE CONTROL MARKINGS 079-21.4.5.1.1 Items to be entered on the CCOL are limited as follows:

a. Access Watertight, airtight, oiltight and fire retardant doors, hatches, manholes and scuttles.

b. Miscellaneous Closures Classifications include: passing scuttles, windows, air ports, ammunition hoist covers, ammunition and stores elevator doors, airtest fittings, voice and pneumatic tube outlets, root cutout valves for ship service steam and fresh water system, bolted equipment removal plates (BERPs), welded equipment removal plates (WERPs) and light covers.

c. Drainage Main drainage system valves, secondary systems valves including semi-permanently installed submersible pumps, valves at scuppers, plumbing drains, deck drains and miscellaneous gravity drains; caps for overboard discharge connections for portable pumps, air escapes, vents, sounding tubes with valves and sounding tube deck plates for water tanks; and voids and miscellaneous spaces.

d. Damage Control and Ballasting Valves for ballasting and counter flooding.

e. Tank Drain Valves in tank drain system.

f. Firemain, Sprinkling, AFFF, Fresh Water Countermeasure and Washdown Firemain riser and cutout valves, root valves of flushing system, ammunition space sprinkling system valves, hangar and miscellaneous sprinkling systems, caps for fixed fog nozzles and valves for foam and washdown systems.

g. Chemical Fire Systems Valves in CO2 flooding and hose reel type systems, HALON systems, HFP, water mist and AFFF systems, if not included with firemain listing.

h. Fuel Oil All damage control classified fuel oil filling, transfer and overflow valves, air escapes, vents and sounding tubes with valves, and sounding tube deck plates.

i. JP-5 Fuel All damage control classified valves for filling, transfer overflow and auxiliary service, including aviation fueling and defueling stations, air escapes, vents and sounding tubes with valves, and sounding tube deck plates.

j. Aviation and Automotive Gasoline (MOGAS) Valves for filling, transfer and overflow, including fuel and defueling stations and saltwater compensating valves.

k. Ventilation Fans, valves and closures for mechanical and natural supply, exhaust and recirculating systems, closing devices for weather openings, mechanically operated fire dampers and classified valves in the chilled water system.

Enclosure (1)

m. Compressed Air All damage control classified valves in high, medium, low and ship service systems, excluding reducing automatic cutout valves.

n. Oxygen and Nitrogen All damage control classified valves and fittings.

079-21.4.5.1.2 The miscellaneous unclassified data fields category is deleted as a CCOL requirement since this data is also covered in DCAMS, EGLs and PMS. Information deleted includes: air escapes and vents not provided with closure fittings, dial-and sound-powered telephones listed in the directory, casualty communication terminals, casualty power terminals, multipurpose outlets, casualty power panels, deck drains with no closure devices, fireplugs, foam generators, non-tight door and accesses, loud-speaker transmitters and receivers listed in directory, relief, check, reducing and automatic cutout valves (with no closure devices) shown on damage control diagrams, ventilation ducts not fitted with closure devices, blank flanges for compartment air testing, casualty communication cables, casualty power supply cables, portable fire extinguishers, foam proportioners, hose for fireplugs, electric submersible pumps and oxygen breathing apparatus.

079-21.4.5.1.3 Any changes to the CCOLs will be as approved by the DCA.

079-21.4.5.1.4 Ensure division or DC repair station is filled in on CCOL.

079-21.4.5.1.5 When using NAVSEA computerized software, the revision date and print date replace the signature requirement.

079-21.4.5.1.6 For compartments having dual responsibility (such as squadron work and living spaces on air capable ships) both the ²parent² division designator and the squadron alpha-numeric designator will be listed on the CCOL. (Example: 2ED/VA-196).

079-21.4.5.2 Duplicate Lists. A complete set of CCOLs will be posted at each entrance for compartments having more than one entrance. Each set will be marked DUPLICATE. Marking each set DUPLICATE will alert personnel to the fact that although more than one set of CCOLs is posted in that compartment, each set is complete in itself.

079-21.4.5.3 Partial Lists. In some cases, compartments have alcoves or areas included within them where facilities are located. It may be desirable to have partial CCOLs posted in these alcoves or areas, but these partial lists must be clearly labeled as PARTIAL. The item numbers on these lists must correspond with the numbers on the full posted list for that space. Having these lists labeled PARTIAL will alert personnel to the fact that they are incomplete for that space. CCOLs are to be kept within practical limits. It may be necessary to divide weather decks and some other decks into sections, i.e., main deck-frame 90-120 port side.
