(Submarines only) If possible, participat e in two at sea periods prior to initial Sea Trials as follows: (1) Accompany the preceding ship of the class on the first Sea Trial to learn how the propulsion trial is run (except first ship of class). (2) Participate in an underway period of at least five days duration approximately six months prior to the final phase of Crew Certification. The purpose of this ride is to re-familiarize the PCO with those functions unique to being underway so as to ensure the safe conduct of his own initial Sea Trials and shakedown. This underway period also allows the PCO to validate his crew’s training program. This underway period should be on a ship, preferably of the same class, which is concentrating on basic ship or submarine operations, such as Selected Refresher Training or Independent Ship Exercise (ISE), so the PCO can witness such evolutions as: coming to periscope depth, snorkeling, ventilating, casualty training, etc. If the new construction schedule has 10-12 weeks between Power Range testing and the final phase of Crew Certification, the PCO should go to sea approximately two months before initial criticality. The intent is for the PCO to go to sea after having been in the Industrial Activity for a fair amount of time (normally one year or more), but with sufficient time remaining to improve his own training program if necessary. During these underway periods, the PCO should spend time on the bridge and also observe piloting and navigation.

COMUSFLTFORCOMINST 4790.3 REV D CHG 3 07 Nov 2023 I-2-20 2.9 PRE-COMMISSIONING UNIT. The PCO and crew will monitor the ship’s construction, prepare ship’s directives, regulations and administrative programs, and observe and demonstrate the operation of installed systems to ensure the ship is safe and habitable prior to commissioning. The shipyard period is an opportunity for the crew to familiarize themselves with the ship. The ship will be required to complete various certifications leading up to introduction into the fleet. This section provides some insight into the administrative requirements and personnel related issues associated with the initial man-up. 2.9.1 Initial Man-up. New construction ships are manned based on a Crew Scheduling and Phasing Plan. Dependent upon the platform type, crew manning is accomplished in two, three, four or as many as eight increments. The quantitative and qualitative requirements of these increments are based on the platform type, test and construction schedule. The objectives of the Crew Scheduling and Phasing Plan are to: a. Ensure adequacy of schooling for personnel assigned. b. Ensure appropriate course convening dates. c. Ensure there are no conflicts or redunda ncies between Navy and contractor courses. d. Ensure sufficient training for antic ipated maintenance and operating skill requirements. e. Ensure the optimization of training oppor tunities for personnel in the pipeline enroute to the ship. A senior crew member from the first increment must be assigned with the responsibility of tracking and reviewing manning issues. For some ships, the Navy Shipbuilding Program Manager has provided support contractors to assist either partially or entirely in the management of the Crew Scheduling and Phasing Plan. Regardless of the class or type of ship, the initial increment of personnel must quickly organize. If a detachment concept is used, Appendix O of this chapter provides a basic listing of requirements that the first increment of personnel should be pursuing. Appendix P of this chapter provides similar information for the non-detachment approach. 2.9.2 Training. 2.9.2.1 Shipboard Training. The Industrial Activity presents a unique environment with special circumstances not routinely encountered by operating forces. The incremental assignment of personnel to PCUs and the pace of new construction demands a comprehensive training strategy. A well-established training program is the key to the ship being ready for introduction into the Fleet. Consistent with the objectives of a shipboard training program, the TYCOM training manuals and references (j), (o) and (p), a new construction training program will ensure that: a. (Nuclear Powered Ships only) The qua lification of all Engineering and Reactor Department personnel in strict accordance with reference (q). Included is the CO’s responsibility to personally conduct an RSE of each key propulsion plant watch stander. b. Personnel are trained in any special Quality Assurance (QA) procedures that may be used during the construction period.
p. 47
COMUSFLTFORCOMINST 4790.3 REV D CHG 3 07 Nov 2023 I-2-21 c. Personnel assigned are knowledgeable of the platform, system and equipment installations and operation of installed equipment. d. Watch stander qualifications support a watch section of fully or provisionally qualified personnel for all scheduled events. e. Training designated for assigned pers onnel supports the platform and equipment configuration. f. Intensified special trai ning is provided to support: (1) Cold Operations. (2) Hot Operations. (3) RSE. (4) LOA. (5) Criticality or Power Range Testing. (6) Combat Systems Installation Certification. (7) Crew Certification. (8) Fast Cruise and Sea Trials. (9) Piloting Party or Navigation Detail. (10) Damage Control Team. (11) Fire Fighting Team. (12) Tactical Team. (13) Special details. g. All billets requiring specific Navy Enlisted Classifications are filled. h. Established Naval Schools and Trainers ar e used to the maximum extent possible. i. Factory training on systems and eq uipment for which Naval Schools are not established is provided. j. Special training following TYCOM directiv es is provided for provisional certification to load, handle, stow and maintain a weapons load-out specific to the class of ship. k. Weapons or Combat Systems training is sufficient to enable the Weapons or Combat Systems Department to operate its systems while complying with existing safety rules, technical directives and governing operating procedures issued by the CNO, the Defense Nuclear Agency, NAVSEA, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, the TYCOM or other commands as applicable. l. Industrial Activity or co ntractor familiarization training courses are monitored for content and value. Provide supplemental instruction where necessary and inform the Supervising Authority and Navy Shipbuilding Program Manager of significant problems or shortfalls.
p. 48
COMUSFLTFORCOMINST 4790.3 REV D CHG 3 07 Nov 2023 I-2-22 m. The enlisted training program is started as soon as the Leading Petty Officers for the major divisions arrive. The Officers and senior enlisted personnel will develop the content and scope of the training programs for implementation with the arrival of the first large increment of enlisted personnel. n. Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipm ent Maintenance Program training must be conducted per reference (r). 2.9.2.2 Industrial Activity Training. The Industrial Activity or FIT will provide familiarization training following the shipbuilding contract on ship’s characteristics and systems. This training generally is not sufficient for “System Expert” qualification, but will provide an excellent opportunity for School of the Boat or Ship, and at the same time provide an opportunity for Divisional Training Petty Officers to develop a more detailed and in depth training program. In most cases, the Industrial Activity will allow the ship to control the scheduling of topics. 2.9.2.3 Training Support Center. Surface ships utilizing the Pre-Commissioning Detachment Concept at a Training Support Center (TSC), either in Norfolk, VA or San Diego, CA, are provided with an outstanding opportunity to ensure pipeline training is obtained. This concept also provides for the easy access to many of the basic courses such as firefighting, damage control, Repair Parts Petty Officer training, Drug and Alcohol Program Advisors, Component Change Control, etc., which are needed to ensure assigned personnel can effectively function as a ship’s crew upon delivery. For ships not utilizing the TSC Detachment Concept, such as submarines, an individual should be assigned to monitor and track training and manning issues as they develop. 2.9.3 Ship’s Qualification Program. The implementation and operation of the Ship’s Qualification or Personnel Qualification Standard (PQS) should ensure a logical process for training Ship’s Force for watch standing and ship’s qualification. TYCOM instructions that cover Ship’s Qualification or PQS requirements are found in references (j), (o) and (p). The department organization manual should establish prerequisites for watch stander qualification. Qualification goals should be established and the program should support completion of goals within each division. Fleet wide training and qualification goals are: a. Underway Watchbills; 3 Section Enliste d, 4 Section Officer or Chief Petty Officer. b. Inport Watchbills; 4 Section Enlisted, 5 S ection Officer or Chief Petty Officer (6 Section for all personnel on Aircraft Carriers). 2.9.4 Deficiency Identification and Correction. The establishment of procedures by which Ship’s Force reports and tracks the correction of deficiencies cannot be overstressed. The Supervising Authority relies heavily upon PCU involvement to augment their efforts. Inspections of systems, equipment and spaces by PCU personnel are extremely important in the identification of unsatisfactory work and material deficiencies. Each shipbuilder and associated Supervising Authority have their own established system for tracking shipbuilder responsible deficiencies. Those deficiencies which are not corrected during the construction cycle will be submitted to the INSURV Board just prior to FCT, AT or CT (the type of trial dependent on platform). These deficiencies, depending on their seriousness, may impact a ship’s delivery to the Navy. Deficiencies cited must either be resolved, corrected or waived by the Navy Shipbuilding Program Manager.

COMUSFLTFORCOMINST 4790.3 REV D CHG 3 07 Nov 2023 I-2-23 2.9.5 Establishment of Engineering and Reactor Department. This paragraph addresses the Engineering or Reactor Department establishment and tasks which are to be accomplished during the pre-commissioning phase of new construction. The tasks defined in this section incorporate experience gained and lessons learned from previously completed ships. The objective is to provide guidance which will assist in the ship’s readiness, from an Engineering or Reactor Department standpoint, to successfully complete contract milestones and to prepare for fleet introduction. 2.9.5.1 Requirements. The PCU should monitor and report on the ship’s construction progress to the PCO, and dependent upon platform, conduct, witness and participate in the ship’s dockside and at-sea testing, attend periodic documentation reviews, assessments, and validations, and provide recommendations regarding manpower, training, watch standing and related shipboard engineering requirements. Tasks and responsibilities include items discussed in the following paragraphs. 2.9.5.2 Shipboard Inspections. Shipboard inspections by the ship’s Engineering, Reactor Department and cognizant Supervising Authority personnel are necessary during the ship construction phase. There is no precise pattern or timetable for these inspections, but they should be thorough and conducted frequently. Ship’s Force personnel need to become familiar with the contract specifications and system drawings. This will ensure the prompt identification, and documenting, of discrepancies discovered when comparing “as built” conditions to the actual specification. 2.9.5.3 Personnel Qualification Standards. Theoretical portions of PQS should be implemented during the training pipeline at the specific Training Centers and at the TSCs using available technical manuals and training material. Ship-wide PQS should be implemented prior to the arrival of the final crew increment at the shipbuilder’s yard. The ship’s Engineer Officer should establish interim watch qualifications to set the training goals for Engineering and Reactor Department personnel as they arrive at the Industrial Activity. Additionally, PQS sign-off authority should be specified in writing by the ship’s Engineer Officer, in order to ensure that the provisional qualifications and sign-off procedures function smoothly. 2.9.5.4 Outfitting Support (as applicable). The PCU must ensure that engineering spaces are completely outfitted. Routine progress inspections must be made in this area, and the PCU will participate in completing Compartment Completion Inspection Reports. It is important that personnel involved with Compartment Completion Inspection Reports are fully aware of all implemented Engineering Change Proposals and Engineering Change Notices to ascertain that outfitting materials and Operating Space Items (OSI) support the ship as revised by Engineering Change Proposals and Engineering Change Notices. Configuration Change Requests must be drafted with full recognition of the guidance contained in both the General Specifications for Building Naval Vessels and the specific Class Building Specifications. 2.9.5.5 Operational Sequencing System (Surface Force Ships and Aircraft Carriers only). The Operational Sequencing Systems (OSS) (Engineering Operational Sequencing System (EOSS), Sewage Disposal Operational Sequencing System, etc.) establish the operational procedures for various shipboard equipment, including applicable Casualty Control procedures. Validation of Engineering Department OSS manuals is the responsibility of the ship’s Engineering Department personnel, with assistance provided by the Navy Shipbuilding Program Manager and contractor
p. 50
COMUSFLTFORCOMINST 4790.3 REV D CHG 3 07 Nov 2023 I-2-24 support personnel (if available). This validation will ensure that procedural requirements are current, well-defined and correct. OSS validation is a Key Event that must be accomplished by the PCU prior to arrival of the final crew increment. EOSS installation (under the cognizance of Naval Surface Warfare Center (NAVSURFWARCEN) Philadelphia Division involves the following sequence of events, which may be modified for other OSS installations: a.
