Diego Garcia Fleet Mooring Underwater Inspection Report.
Abstract
This report contains the results of the inspection of 13 fleet moorings (19 buoy systems) located in the lagoon at Diego Garcia, BIOT. A CHESNAV-FACENGCOM-assigned Engineer-in-Charge and divers from Underwater Construction Team Two conducted the inspection from 6 to 31 May 1984. Some of the top jewelry contained in nine moorings (FM 2, 4, 5, 8N, 8S, 9N, 9S, 10, and POL-S) is in unsatisfactory condition and must be replaced or removed if these buoys are to remain in service. Once this is accomplished, all moorings, except 5, 8N, 9S and POL-S, will be in fair condition and satisfactory for continued fleet use. Buoy FM 5 is riding on its side and apparently is taking on water. This buoy is in unsatisfactory condition for continued fleet use and should be removed and overhauled at the earliest practical time. Moorings 8N, 9S, and POL-S must be downgraded in classification due to worn anchor chain assemblies. Detailed information and specific comments concerning each of these moorings are included within this report. (Author)
