5.1 PURPOSE. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a procedure to identify and document deficiencies found
in new construction ships. This chapter focuses on the period from initial Acceptance Trials (AT) until the
termination of funding responsibility under the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy (SCN) appropriation. Proper
management of these deficiencies is necessary to ensure:
a. Final settlement of the construction contract with the shipbuilder.
b. Correction of the maximum number of shipbuilder responsible deficiencies under terms of the
construction contract.
c. Correction of the maximum number of government responsible deficiencies under the SCN
appropriation.
d. Identification of all new construction deficiencies which must be corrected subsequent to the guarantee
period under appropriations other than SCN, and identification of improvement items which have class
application.
Deficiency items not adjudicated prior to Combined Trials (CT) and the Guarantee Material Inspection (GMI) for
submarines or during ATs and Final Contract Trials (FCT) for all other ships are identified to the Navy by the Board
of Inspection and Survey (INSURV). Additional items are identified during Naval Sea Systems Command
(NAVSEA) Acoustic Trials, Combat System Certification Trials (CSCT) and by the Commanding Officer (CO) of
the ship during the contract guarantee period and reported to the Supervising Authority.
