Part 5 – Readiness and Standardization
CHAPTER 4
Materiel Inspections
Introduction
The purpose of the materiel inspection is to validate the readiness and
standardization of the boat being inspected and to ensure that it is safe for
operations and is mission capable.
The materiel inspection is performed both dockside and underway. The
dockside portion consists of a complete visual inspection of all boat
spaces. The condition of the hull, installed fittings , and watertight
structures will be reported. A functional inspection of all installed
machinery, weight handling equipment, and boat outfit items will also be
completed. During the underway portion, a full power trial will be
performed in accordance with the appropriate PMS technical publication.
Platforms that have parts on order prior to an RFO or STAN team
inspection shall have their discrepancy properly entered into ALMIS, or
other approved applications. Failure to do so can affect the unit’s score.
