Diego Garcia Fleet Moorings Inspection Report.

Abstract

This inspection completion report is an evaluation of 13 fleet moorings located in the lagoon, on the atoll of Diego Garcia. This information is based on the underwater inspection of these moorings by CHESNAVFACENGCOM using UCT-2 divers during the period 12-31 May 1982. The results of this inspection revealed that only one of the moorings required downgrading. Overall, the cathodic protection systems are effective when intact. Comments concerning the specific condition of each mooring buoy and its legs are included as well as recommendations for mooring repairs. (Author)
