SUBJ: INSURV REPORT FOR USS CHOSIN (CG 65) MATERIAL INSPECTION (MI) MSGID/GENADMIN,USMTF,2007/PRESINSURV NORFOLK VA// SUBJ/INSURV REPORT FOR USSCHOSIN (CG 65) MATERIAL INSPECTION (MI)//
GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. THE BOARD OF INSPECTION AND SURVEY CONDUCTED AN MI OF USS CHOSIN (CG 65) AT PEARL HARBOR, HI DURING THE PERIOD 24-28 MAR 08.
2. SENIOR MEMBER COMMENTS:
A. USS CHOSIN WAS FOUND UNFIT FOR SUSTAINED COMBAT OPERATIONS. THE FOLLOWING MATERIAL DEFICIENCIES CONTRIBUTE TO THIS FINDING: AN/SPS-49 AND AN/SPY-1B RADARS ARE SEVERELY DEGRADED, HATCH TIMING ON 26% OF THE VLS CELLS PRECLUDES THE USE OF THESE CELLS (SHIP REPORTED), AN/SQR 19 IS OOC (SHIP REPORTED), MT 51 AND 52 ARE OOC (SHIP REPORTED), SHIP'S COMMUNICATIONS ARE SEVERELY DEGRADED AS OUTLINED IN THIS REPORT, F/O LEAK (SHIP REPORTED) IN AFT CROSS FLOODING DUCT CREATED A FIRE HAZARD IN NR 3 GTG ROOM AND CAUSED A LOSS OF STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY ADVERSELY AFFECTING THE ABILITY OF THE SHIP TO WITHSTAND BATTLE DAMAGE. AVIATION FACILITY HAD NUMEROUS DISCREPANCIES WHICH PRECLUDE THE SAFE CONDUCT OF FLIGHT OPERATIONS.
B. ALTHOUGH THE SHIP CERTIFIED ITS READINESS FOR SEA, THE BOARD NOTED DISCREPANCIES THAT WOULD HAVE RESTRICTED UNDERWAY OPERATIONS OR DEMONSTRATIONS IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS DURING THE POST-UNDERWAY PORTION OF THE MI: HALON, WASTE HEAT BOILERS, GTMS, GTG INTAKES, FUEL OIL SERVICE TANK QUICK CLOSING VALVE REMOTE OPERATION, MRG SIGHT FLOW INDICATOR, HP AIR SYSTEM, ELECTRIC PLANT ALIGNMENT (ABT AND MBT), AN/SPS-49, AND READY LIFE BOAT.
C. SHIP'S OVERALL COMMUNICATIONS CAPABILITY, TO INCLUDE SWITCHING AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED SUBSYSTEMS OF HF, SHF, VHF, UHF LOS, EHF, CDLMS AND LINKS, IS UNSAT. PASSWORDS FOR KEY SYSTEMS ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE. ANTENNA MAINTENANCE TO COMBAT CORROSION, IF NOT CONDUCTED, WILL FURTHER DEGRADE COMMUNICATIONS. SEE COMMUNICATIONS SECTION OF THIS REPORT FOR DETAILS.
D. NR 3 GENERATOR ROOM PRIMARY HALON IN-SPACE CO2 ACTUATING BOTTLE DID NOT ACTIVATE THE HALON SYSTEM AND THE OUTSIDE CO2 ACTUATING BOTTLE LEAKED CO2 DURING RESERVE ACTUATION. MER 1 PRIMARY HALON DID NOT ACTIVATE BECAUSE OF A LEAK AT THE CO2 ACTUATING BOTTLE COUPLING HEAD.
E. THE AFT CROSS FLOODING DUCT FRAME 472 WAS HOLED AND LEAKED FUEL/COMPENSATING WATER (CASREP 07052 OF MAY 07). FUEL IS COMING FROM EITHER 6-426-1-F OR 6-426-2-F. AS STATED ABOVE, THIS IS A LOSS OF STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND A FIRE HAZARD. RECOMMEND RESTRICTED USE OF NR 3 GTG UNTIL REPAIRS ARE MADE.
F. 32 OF 122 VLS CELL HATCHES FAILED TIMING CHECKS AND WERE OPERATIONALLY UNUSABLE, THUS REDUCING MISSILE INVENTORY BY 26%.
G. DEGRADATION TO THE SPY-1B REDUCED RELIABLE DETECTION RANGE AND PRECLUDED 360 DEG COVERAGE. THREATS COULD ONLY BE DETECTED WITH THE FORWARD DECK HOUSE SPY AND MANEUVERING WAS REQUIRED TO ENGAGE WITH ALL WEAPON SYSTEMS. AFT DECK HOUSE PROVIDES NO RELIABLE INDICATION OF ACTUAL OPERATION. OTS TESTS FAIL TO RUN ON MANY OF THE AFT DECKHOUSE COMPONENTS AND ALIGNMENT OR TROUBLESHOOTING CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED.
H. RECOMMEND SELF SUSPENSION OF ALL FLIGHT OPERATIONS DUE TO NUMEROUS DISCREPANCIES WHICH ARE IN THE AVIATION SECTION OF THIS REPORT.
I. AN/SQS-53D SONAR DOME RUBBER WINDOW WAS CONDEMNED BECAUSE OF FAILING STEEL BELTS AND RUBBER DELAMINATION (CASREP 07139).
J. AN/SQR-19 WAS NOT DEPLOYABLE BECAUSE OF A 6-FT TEAR AROUND THE 570-FT MARK OF THE TOW CABLE. THE EXPOSED ARMORED BRAIDS SHOWED SIGNS OF CORROSION (CASREP 08031).
K. FCS DIRECTORS NR 1 AND NR 3 WERE 19 YEARS OLD AND BEYOND THEIR 15 YEAR DEPOT OVERHAUL REQUIREMENT.
L. VIDEO FROM AN/SPS-73 WAS DEGRADED BECAUSE OF INTERFERENCE FROM NON-PROGRAM OF RECORD FURUNO RADAR MOUNTED IVO SPS-73 RADAR ANTENNA.
M. VENTILATION SYSTEM IS DEGRADED AND DIRTY. A THOROUGH GROOM, INCLUDING SYSTEM BALANCING, IS NECESSARY TO RETURN EXHAUST AIR FLOWS TO DESIGN SPECS. N. SHIP COULD NOT CONDUCT SHORE POWER RIGGING AND UNRIGGING IAW EOSS SPRU (EOSS FEEDBACK REPORT REQUIRED).
O. PILOT'S LADDER WAS NOT RIGGED IAW NAVSEA DWG 804-5000900. IT WAS TOO SHORT FOR EMBARKATION AT DESIGNATED BOARDING STATIONS AND ITS OVERALL MATERIAL CONDITION MAKES IT UNSAFE FOR USE.
P. FLEXIBLE HOSE ASSEMBLIES WERE IDENTIFIED THROUGHOUT THE ENGINEERING PLANT THAT HAD IMPROPERLY INSTALLED OR MISSING BRACKETS. FAILURE TO ENSURE PROPER INSTALLATION OF FLEX HOSE SUPPORTS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE LIFE SPAN OF THE AFFECTED HOSES.
Q. PORT AND STBD ICCP SHAFT GROUNDING ASSEMBLY BRUSHES WERE CORRODED AND SEIZED IN THE ASSEMBLY, SHAFT SLIP RING CONTACT SURFACES WERE SCORED, BRUSHES WERE BELOW 50% WORN, AND 4 OF 4 BRUSHES ON THE PORT SHAFT WERE NOT MAKING CONTACT WITH SHAFT SLIP RINGS. PMS WAS NOT BEING ACCOMPLISHED ON THIS SYSTEM. DAILY ICCP LOGS WERE NOT BEING KEPT AND SUBMITTED TO THE COMMANDING OFFICER FOR REVIEW/SIGNATURE AND SUBMISSION TO NAVSEA IAW NSTM 633-6.3. DUE TO A LACK OF FUNDING, NAVSEA DOES NOT HAVE A MECHANISM IN PLACE TO INFORM SHIPS OF ICCP DISCREPANCIES NOR TRACK SUBMISSION OF LOGS BY INDIVIDUAL SHIPS.
R. THE DEGAUSSING SYSTEM WAS OOC AND A SAT RANGING CHECK HAD NOT BEEN CONDUCTED WITHIN THE REQUIRED PERIODICITY (ANNUALLY) (CASREP 08015).
S. THE FOLLOWING MBTS WERE IMPROPERLY ALIGNED TO THE ALTERNATE SOURCE: AMR 2 VITAL MBT, NR 1 AND NR 2 AC MBT, MBT 1-52-1, AND MBT 01-220-1. NR 3 GTG MODULE COOLING FAN ABT WAS IN MANUAL.
T. TASK AND GENERAL LIGHTING ONBOARD WERE INADEQUATE. AN INCREASE IN BULB WATTAGE OR UPGRADE OF LIGHTING FIXTURES WOULD ENHANCE THE ABILITY OF PERSONNEL TO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN THE SHIP'S SYSTEMS.
U. SECONDARY RESCUE BOAT COULD NOT BE SECURED FOR SEA. KEEL RESTS AND BOAT CHOCKS HAD NO CONTACT WITH THE BOAT IN THE STOWED POSITION, BOAT GRIPES AND BELLY BANDS FORE AND AFT WERE LOOSE AND INEFFECTIVE. THE SHIPALT TO INSTALL THIS BOAT WAS NEVER COMPLETED.
V. 1 OF 2 SEA LADDER ALUMINUM HANDRAILS WAS BROKEN AT THE DECK ATTACHMENT, RENDERING THE LADDER UNSAFE FOR VBSS OPERATIONS.
W. 4 OF 6 ARAMID MOORING LINES ARE WORN AND DETERIORATED BEYOND SAFE USE (SHIP REPORTED).
X. UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO FWD VLS COULD BE GAINED VIA VLS FAN ROOM NR 2 WTD 2-126-2. THE WTD WAS NOT INSTALLED IAW NAVSEA DRAWING 6011974.
Y. CREW MEMBERS COMMITTED A SERIOUS VIOLATION OF THE WORKING ALOFT BILL DURING THE INSPECTION WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN PERSONNEL BEING EXPOSED TO HIGH FREQUENCY RADIATION.
Z. NR 2 OWS SYSTEM WAS INOP BECAUSE OF AN INOPERABLE OIL CONTENT MONITOR (CASREP 08032).
AA. THE SHIP'S SELF-ASSESSMENT CAPABILITY WAS EVALUATED AS SAT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF DECK AND AVIATION WHICH WERE UNSAT.
AB. HELMSMAN COULD NOT STEER BY DFGMC BECAUSE INDICATOR DID NOT PROVIDE DIRECTION OF TURN INDICATION IAW NSTM 420 TO ALLOW THE HELMSMAN TO GAIN AND MAINTAIN THE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS NEEDED TO JUDGE THE EFFECT OF RUDDER POSITION ON THE SWING OF THE SHIP'S HEAD.
AC. 9 OF 99 WATERTIGHT CLOSURES INSPECTED WERE NOT WATERTIGHT.
AD. 1 OF 2 IPDS WAS OPERATIONAL.
AE. 13 OF 16 VENTILATION AIRFLOW ALARMS WERE EITHER INOP OR MISADJUSTED.
AF. 12 CRITICAL DEFICIENCIES PRECLUDED OILY WATER SEPARATORS CERTIFICATION.
AG. DOSSERT CONNECTORS WERE FOUND IN NR 1, NR 2 AND NR 3 SWITCHBOARDS. THERMAL INDICATIONS REVEALED NO SIGNS OF LOOSENING OR LOCAL HEATING. CONNECTORS NEED TO BE DOCUMENTED FOR FUTURE INSPECTION.
AH. THE SHIP DID NOT HAVE PMS INSTALLED FOR THE EPIRB. 3. THE FOLLOWING CASREPS WERE ACTIVE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MI:
