Public Works Center, Yokosuka, Japan Fleet Moorings Underwater Inspection Report.

Abstract

This report contains results of the inspection of 20 fleet moorings operated and maintained by the Public Works Center, Yokosuka, Japan. A CHESNAVFACENGCOM-assigned Engineer-in-Charge and divers from Underwater Construction Team Two conducted the inspection from 1-7 May 1983. Of the 20 moorings inspected, 9 were found to be satisfactory for continued use at their rated class, 10 require reclassification or downgrading to a lower mooring class, and I was found to be in poor condition and recommended for overhaul at the earliest practical time. In addition, a through design review should be conducted to determine the adequacy of these Japanese designed and built moorings to withstand the forces associated with the various mooring classes defined in NAVFACENGCOM's DM-26. Specific comments concerning each of these moorings and recommendations for future actions are included within this report. (Author)
