Assessment of Patrol Frigate Maintenance Policy. Effect of Increased Operating Rate on Organizational and Intermediate Maintenance.

Abstract

Destroyer (DD) operating intensity, as measured by time underway and fuel consumed underway, was compared with maintenance man-hour comsumption at the organizational and intermediate level, in man-hours/month. No correlations were found between either measure of intensity and maintenance expenditures. Wide variations in both time underway (none to the complete month) and maintenance man-hour consumption (none to over 7,000 man-hours per month) were found on a month-to-month basis; however, long-term averages time between overhauls) showed smaller variations in time underway (to about 400 hours/month) and maintenance man-hour consumption (500 to about 2,200 man-hours/month). The data consisted of the records of 171 DDs from April 1966 through March 1969. (Author)
