INTERIM TECHNICAL GUIDANCE -FACILITIES HOMEPORTING CRITERIAforNIMITZ CLASS AIRCRAFT CARRIERS3 November 1998SECTION 1 – Command Issues1-1. Scopea. This document provides minimum facility planning and design criteria for efficienthomeport operations of active Nimitz class aircraft carriers. Existing ports, facilities, and berthsmay not meet all criteria and may, therefore, perform less efficiently, but do not necessarilyrequire upgrade.b. Piers and wharves at Homeports may be grouped into 3 categories:• Type I – Fueling and Ammunition• Type II – General Purpose• Type III - RepairThe requirements are different for each type. This document focuses on the entirehomeport operation. The ship will visit fueling and ammunition piers for short periods, butgenerally berth at general purpose berthing piers. Every 18 months the carrier will undergo a 6-month “Planned Incremental Availability (PIA)” at the repair berth. Ships in dry dock, at libertyports, and in inactive status require specialized criteria that NAVFAC will provide as requested.c. This document supplements basic criteria contained in the following documents:• Military Handbook 1025/1, “Piers and Wharves,”• Military Handbook 1025/2, “Dockside Utilities for Ship Service”• Military Handbook 1025/6, “General Criteria for Waterfront Construction”• Military Handbook 1026/4, "Mooring Design" (Draft)• DM 26.1, “Harbors”• NAVFAC P-80, “Facility Planning Criteria”1-2.
