Command Naval Surface Atlantic Fleet (COMNAVSURFLANT) Soot Issue Ship Vist - USS Hawes (FFG-53) and USS Guston Hall (LSD-44)/USS Tortuga (LSD-46)

Abstract

A memorandum, dated 10 August 1999, was forwarded to NAVSEA 05N from COMNAVSURFLANT regarding diesel soot on certain classes of ships, in particular frigates (FFGs) and certain amphibious ships. The issue is that the transition from black to gray color schemes in the stack and mast areas had resulted in the soot turning the gray paint black, which increased sailor workload to remove the soot. The memorandum requested a viable approach or cleaner to be determined to assist ships force in the removal of the soot under SECNAV's mission to support improving the quality of life for sailors (Capital Investments for Labor Initiatives).
