Commander Fleet Activities Sasebo Fleet Moorings Underwater Inspection Report.

Abstract

This report contains results of the inspection of 34 fleet moorings operated an maintained by the Commander Fleet Activities, Sasebo, Japan. A CHESNAVFACENGCOM-assigned Engineer-in-Charge and divers from Underwater Construction Team Two conducted the inspection from 10-20 May 1983. Of the 34 mooring inspected, 31 were found to be satisfactory for continued use at their rated class. One required downgrading to a lower mooring classification, and two were found to be in poor condition and recommended for overhaul at the earliest practical time. Additionally, a thorough design review to determine the adequacy of these Japanese built moorings to withstand the forces associated with the mooring classes, as defined in NAVFACENGCOM's DM-26, is recommended. Specific comments concerning each of these moorings and recommendations for future actions are included in this report. Keywords: Mooring inspection, Underwater Inspection, Fleet moorings.
