1.1 PURPOSE. Volume I of this manual summarizes maintenance related information for all units of the Fleet
during Ship construction and through the completion of Post Shakedown Availability (PSA). The time span is from
initial crew man-up to departure from the PSA facility.
1.2 SCOPE.
a. New Construction ships require a succession of inspections and tests followed by a series of underway
trials. The philosophy and sequencing of these inspections, tests, and trials are set forth in references
(a), (b), and (c) and are graphically represented in Appendices A and B of this chapter. This Volume
provides information, guidance, policies and procedures for maintenance related topics during the
Ship's construction period. Reference (d) shall be used in conjunction with the Joint Fleet Maintenance
Manual (JFMM) to establish an effective maintenance program. The requirements of this manual do
not supersede or take precedence over directives issued by higher authority. Where conflicts exist with
previously issued Type Commander (TYCOM) letters and transmittals, this manual takes precedence.
Conflicts should be reported to the applicable TYCOM.
b. The development of this and subsequent volumes to the JFMM has required the study of numerous
reference documents, many of which are referenced as source or governing documents in specific
chapters. The Foreword of this Manual contains a Master Listing of all the references called out in the
JFMM. These references are arranged in an alpha/numeric sequence to facilitate the ordering of
documentation to support the use of the JFMM. References used in specific chapters are called out at
the beginning of that chapter.
