Requirements
B.2. Discrepancy
Classification
The specific boat type operator’s handbook provides the materiel
inspection checklists for the appropriate standard boat. In addition to this
Manual, References (f), (j) (ddd), applicable PMS manual, specific boat
type operators handbook, and additional technical publications and
drawings, as appropriate should be used when conducting a standard boat
materiel inspection:
A materiel inspection normally requires a minimum of two personnel to
conduct, preferably a Boatswain’s Mate and Machinery Technician, both
of whom possess extensive experience on the type of standard boat to be
inspected and a working knowledge of the reference documents which
checklist items are judged against.
Each item on the materiel inspection checklist will be evaluated as
standard or non-standard. When the minimum standard for a specific
item cannot be met, the evaluator shall classify the discrepancy based
upon the classification guidelines contained in the applicable specific
boat type operator’s handbook. Occasionally, a discrepancy is found that
is not specifically mentioned in the Operator’s Handbook. On these
occasions, the Team Leaders will use their experience and judgment,
with the advice of the Senior STAN Engineer, to classify the
discrepancy. Each classification category requires a different level of
action by the unit and Operational Commanders.:
(01) Disabling casualty.
(02) Restrictive discrepancy.
(03) Major discrepancy.
(04) Minor discrepancy.
(05) Properly waived restrictive discrepancies that are in place prior to
STAN Team arrival will not count against the platform
assessment.
(06) Appropriately documented major discrepancies pending repair by
the servicing product line are not counted against unit score.
Appropriate documentation includes CASREPS, (ALMIS entries)
and/or Boat Record entries which correlate with a request for
Sector/servicing product line assistance.
