Ship Material Readiness

Abstract

This research memorandum evaluates ship material condition on the basis of mission-degrading casualty reports. Tobit models estimate the effect on ship material readiness of such resource variables as manning, crew stability, months since last overhaul, steaming hours, and length of time commanding officer has had ship command. Identical models are used for Knox, spruance, and Adams ship classes. For all three classes, the most important influences are related to manning. Keywords: CASREP(Casualty Report), Crews, Econometrics, Enlisted personnel, Fleets(Ships), Least squares method, Maintenance, Naval personnel, Naval vessels, Readiness, Regression analysis, Ship maintenance, Ship personnel, Statistical analysis, Tobit model.
