l l l CHAPTER 7 MAINTENANCE ADMINISTRATION When you have read and understood this chapter, you should be able to answer the  following  learning  objectives: Describe  the  roles  of  the  higher  level  naval l organizations that oversee ship maintenance and repair. l Describe  casualty  reporting  (CASREP)  and casualty  correction  (CASCOR)  programs. l Explain the monitoring and follow-up programs within the CASREP program. Explain the Detection, Action, and Response Technique (DART program. Describe  the  Fleet  Modernization  Program (FMP). Describe  the  Ship  Alteration  Status  (SAS)  and the   Ship   Alteration   Return   Cost   Analysis (SARCA)   programs. This  chapter  covers  the  various  organizations  and functions that affect ship engineering operation and maintenance at all levels of organization. We will look first at the several echelons of management above the individual  ship  level.  Each  of  these  higher  level echelons  includes  an  engineering,  maintenance,  or logistics  subdivision,  depending  on  its  purpose  in  the Navy organization. Generally, they formulate and fund repair  and  overhaul  functions  and  promulgate  and/or implement  the  basic  policies  and  procedures  that govern  those  activities. ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT Before  we  can  understand  the  overall  management of naval ship engineering, we need to know how the echelons above the ship level function and what effect they have on ship engineering departments. In this section, we’ll discuss the roles of those organizations and activities. NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND The Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command (COMNAVSEASYSCOM),  is  responsible  to  the  Chief of Naval Material (CNM) for the design, acquisition, maintenance, and repair of ships and craft assigned to the operating forces according to Navy regulations and directives.  COMNAVSEASYSCOM  may  carry  out those duties by assigning work to naval shipyards or procuring from private industry. For the latter purpose, he is designated as a contracting officer with authority to make and administer contracts for materials and services. He, in turn, delegates that authority to the Director of Contracts and to individuals within the director’s office. The Superintendent of Shipbuilding (SUPSHIP)  is  delegated  authority  to  award  contracts for repair and alteration of vessels and to issue job orders for those purposes. The  Ship  Repair  Contracting Manual (Repair Manual), NAVSEA  0900-079-5010, explains this authority. These contracts are known as master   ship   repair   (MSR)   contracts.   Only COMNAVSEASYSCOM and those he delegates can commit the government to any contract for the Navy. COMNAVSEASYSCOM also acts as coordinator of  shipbuilding,  conversion,  and  repair  for  the Department of Defense (DOD). He acts in a similar capacity  for  the  Department  of  Commerce  on  ship repair  and  conversion. NAVAL SHIP ENGINEERING CENTER The Naval Ship Engineering Center (NAVSEC) was  established  in  1966  to “split   out”   functional 7-1
