Cleat - Consists of a double-ended pair of horns, used for securing a line or wire.Bitts - Pairs of heavy vertical cylinders, used for making fast lines led through chocks.Bollard - Strong cylindrical upright on a pier, about which a mooring line is placed.

Ground Tackle and Mooring Equipment

Camel - A large float or raft used as a fender.

Rat guards - Shields secured around mooring lines to prevent rats from coming board ships.

Ground Tackle and Mooring Equipment

Dip the EyeWhen two bights are placed on the same bollard, the second one is led up through the first before being put over the bollard. This allows either to be cast off without moving the other.

Mooring Lines

Mooring lines are the lines used to secure theship to a wharf, pier or another ship.

Definition of lines:Breast lines - Run at right angles from the ship,control distance of ship from pierAft spring lines - Tend aft from ship, control forward movement.Forward spring lines - Tend forward from the ship, control aft movement

Officer’s Role in Ship Safety

• A ship is an industrial environment with accidents around every corner

• What role do officers play in preventing accidents?

• Why must the safety officer focus on the “BIG PICTURE?”

Your Goal as a Division Officer

• #1 Ensure my personnel keep their fingers and toes.

• #2 Keep all my fingers and toes.• #3 Make sure the ship’s evolution is

successfully and safely completed.

General Shipboard safety

• Shipboard life is inherently different and dangerous.

• Don’t have loose clothing or hair.• Keep your boots tied.• Wear leather, steel-toed boots.• Don’t wear CNTs or corfams shipboard• Hearing protection

Shipboard Protective Attire

• Steel toed boots• Hard hats• Hand and eye

protection• Hearing protection• Secure loose clothing• Life jackets

Movement during Battle Stations (GQ)

Repair Lockers• Quantity: 3 on CRUDES (Rep2/3/5)

• Function:Take charge of activities in their area of responsibility after damage is sustained, keeping DC Central informed.

Watertight Integrity• Navy ships are extensively compartmented. This

compartmentalization acts as a barrier to fires and flooding and prevents further damage. Navy ships are built to withstand the solid flooding of a certain number of compartments without sinking. This passive defense is surrendered if watertight integrity is not maintained through training and repair. Watertight doors and hatches must be maintained and closed properly.

Fire What makes up a Fire?

FUEL

OXYGEN IGNITION SOURCE

What is it?

• Fuel: The part of the triangle that burns.

• Paper,wood• Oil/gas• Paint• Wires• Textiles/cloth• Metal

What is it?

• Oxygen: The part of the triangle that allows for combustion to take place or to burn.

What is it?

• Ignition source: The temperature that is needed for a substance to exceed it’s flash point, or temp where it burns.

Types of Fires

• Class A• Class B• Class C• Class D

Types of Firefighting Agents

• CO2

• PKP• AFFF• Halon• Water

SCBA

• Self Contained Breathing Apparatus– Aka Scott air-pack– All fire party members– 30-45 minutes of HP air– Positive Pressure– Worn on back

EEBD (Emerg. Escape Breathing Device)

• Up to 15 minutes• Escape (egress) only• DO NOT use to fight

fires

DC Review

• 1. Discuss the fire triangle. • 2. Discuss the four types of fires and the primary

agents for combating them.• 3. Discuss fire fighting agents and how they extinguish

fires.• 4. What is the purpose of the SCBA? How much

oxygen should it provide?• 5. What is the purpose of the EEBD? How much

oxygen does it provide?• 6. Discuss some of the material conditions of readiness

Discuss ship identification• The initial letter of the ship’s identification

indicates the ship’s mission: C - - Carrier V - - Fixed Wing C - - Cruiser D - - Destroyer F - - Frigate G - - Guided Missile S - - Submarine/Submersible P - - Patrol combatant L - - Amphibious assault A - - Auxiliary M - - Mine warfare

Ship identification continued

• Example: USS Chancellorsville (CG62) USS - United States’ ship Chancellorsville - Ship’s name CG - Indicates guided missile cruiser 62 - Hull number

• Ship size/Displacement• Armament• Ship speed• Ship categories

Combatants• Warship

Aircraft Carriers (CVN) Surface combatants

Cruisers (CG) Destroyers (DD, or DDG) Frigates (FF, or FFG) Patrol Craft (PC)

Ship categories continued• Combatants continued

Submarines Nuclear (SSN) Nuclear-ballistic missile (SSBN) Nuclear cruise missile (SSGN)

• Other combatant ships Patrol combatants (PC) Amphibious warfare ship

Amphibious assault (general purpose) (LHA) Amphibious assault (multipurpose) (LHD) Amphibious transport dock ships (LPD) Dock landing ships (LSD) Amphibious command ships (LCC)

Aircraft Designations

• Letter– “F” = Fighter– “B” = Bomber– “A” = Attack– “P” = Patrol– “S” = ASW– “K” = Tanker– “H” = Helo– “E” = Electronic

• Number– Signifies the sequential development of the

aircraft.– For example –

• F-14’s were developed before F-22’s– Gaps in numbering can signify models that never

“got off the drawing board.”

Squadron Designations

• Examples

– VP-40– HSL-37– VAQ-132– VFA-137– VAW-112– VMAQ-2– HMH-366

• Squadrons– First Letter

• “V” = Fixed Wing• “H” = Rotary Wing

– Second / Third Letter• “F” – Fighter• “A” = Attack• “P” = Patrol• “S” = ASW• “C” = Cargo / Logistics• “Q” = Electronic Warfare• “AW” = Early Warning• “L” = Light• “H” = Heavy

Warfighting Philosophy

• Maneuver Warfare– “… a warfighting philosophy that seeks to shatter the

enemy’s cohesion through a variety of rapid, focused, and unexpected actions which create a turbulent and rapidly deteriorating situation with which the enemy cannot cope.” (MCDP-1)

• Aims to shatter enemy system rather than completely destroy his forces

• Maneuver in space (positional) and time (temporal)

Warfighting Philosophy

• Key Ingredients of Maneuver Warfare– Speed

• Establish pace the enemy can’t maintain

– Focus• Against enemy’s critical vulnerabilities

– Ruthless Opportunism• Seek out weakness

– Surprise• Strike at unexpected time and place

Warfighting Philosophy

• Philosophy of Command– C2 (Command & Control) must be decentralized– C2 is not just equipment and procedures– Human element of command is critical

• Boldness, initiative, personality, strength of will, imagination

– Command from the front• Where you can best influence the action• Show willingness to share danger and privation

Warfighting Philosophy

• Combined Arms– The full integration of arms in such a way that to

counteract one, the enemy must become more vulnerable to another

– Takes advantage of complimentary characteristics of different types of units

– Pose the enemy not just with a problem, but with a dilemma — a no-win situation

MAGTF Basic Organization

CE

GCE ACE LCE

Designators

• A designator is a four-digit, numeric code that describes the type of job an officer is designated to do.

• The last number indicates the status of an officer with a "5" meaning reserve, "0" regular, and "7" training active reserves (TAR)

Communities

• Unrestricted Line Officers: Perform combat missions for the Navy.

• Restricted Line Officers: Not eligible for command at sea.

• Staff Officers: Provide services and support for the line communities.

• TAR Officers: These officers are reserve officers on active duty who specialize in the training of reserves.

GOOD LUCK !
