Naval Weapons Station Earle Fleet Moorings Underwater Inspection Report

Abstract

CHESNAVFACENGCOM designated an Engineer-in-Charge (EIC) tp provide inspection planning and on-site technical direction for the underwater inspection of fleet moorings located at the Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Earle, New Jersey. The actual underwater portion of the inspection was performed by divers of Underwater Construction Team One (UCT 1). A total of three fleet moorings are currently operated and maintained by NWS Earle. The purpose of the mooring inspections is to determine the general physical condition of the buoys and chain assemblies and, when possible, to verify or update existing as-built and maintenance records. Divers inspect only a portion of the submerged buoy hull and chain assemblies in order to compile a general description of the mooring's condition. The existence of fairly consistent measurements during his inspection provides a good indication of the mooring's overall condition.
