The executive officer shall determine when I-Division training is in effect.

e. RESPONSIBILITIES

(1) THE I-DIVISION OFFICER will be appointed by the Executive Officer and shall be responsible for the administration of I-Division and coordination of training. He/she shall be aware of all personnel reporting aboard and

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-20 Enclosure (1) activate I-Division when there are sufficient new personnel to justify the expenditure of time and effort on the part of personnel concerned. He/she will publish a list of personnel assigned to the I-Division at least five working days prior to orientation lectures. Lecturers will be notified via the plan of the day five days in advance and personally by the I-Division Officer at least one day in advance of the lectures.

(2) DIVISION OFFICERS shall ensure that newly reported personnel in their division are present at the appointed time and place for all I-Division meetings and that their personnel have no conflicting requirements. Division officers shall be responsible for the indoctrination of new personnel in their specific duties within the division and department. They shall review the service record of each newly assigned person as they report to the division.

(3) DEPARTMENTAL TRAINING OFFICERS AND PERSONNEL IN CHARGE OF SPECIAL OFFICES shall assign instructors. The names of the instructors so assigned shall be submitted to the I-Division Officer. Instructors shall prepare a lecture/tour outline for submission to the I-Division Officer for filing and future reference. The plan should list all training aids and include sketches of charts to be used. These plans will be reviewed continually and updated.

f. INSTRUCTOR DUTIES. When notified by the cognizant departmental training officer or cognizant special officer, instructors shall report to the I-Division Officer for a briefing on their duties as I-Division instructors. Each instructor shall become familiar with the prepared lecture outline in the I-Division training syllabus. He/she shall report to the CMAA 10 minutes prior to his/her period of instruction shown in the indoctrination schedule and shall be responsible for the indoctrination and accounting for I-Division personnel during his/her period of instruction. If the instruction period ends prior to the scheduled completion time, he/she shall turn over I-Division personnel to the CMAA for the next scheduled event. Instructors shall make every effort to acquaint I- Division personnel with the task of each rating assigned to his/her department and, insofar as practical, spaces occupied and the relation of the department to the overall operation of the unit. Instructors should endeavor to stress the importance of each person to the overall effectiveness of the unit and make each person realize his/her own importance.

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-21 Enclosure (1) 6.2.7 PERSONNEL ASSIGNMENT BILL

a. PURPOSE. To establish responsibilities and procedures for assigning and reassigning officer and enlisted personnel to billets within the unit's organization, including collateral and special duties.

b. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BILL. The executive officer is responsible for this bill.

c. INFORMATION.

(1) The CNO has developed a series of manning documents for all classes of ships. These documents, developed in accordance with OPNAVINST 1000.16 (series), are called SMDs or SQMDs. These documents detail the rationale for manning of ship classes and squadrons based on configuration, compound workload, specified operating profile and required operational capabilities.

(2) Organizational manning provides the minimum quantitative and qualitative personnel needs of a ship class for effective performance of prescribed mission and combat operations. SMD will be implemented by revising the individual unit's manpower authorizations, OPNAVINST 1000.16H (series), to reflect organizational manning. With a view toward attainment of organizational manning, authorizations will be written commensurate with current end-strength and will be increased, where required, as additional billets become available.

(3) Where sufficient manpower will not be available in the foreseeable future to permit organizational manning, conditional manning may be required. This will generally occur as outlined in OPNAVINST 1000.16H (series).

(4) The SMD is advisory in nature. The commanding officer is responsible for the actual organization and assignment of personnel. The commanding officer should submit recommended changes to the SMD/SQMD document as dictated by changes in ship configuration, functional requirements, or modifications to quantitative manning criteria.

d. PROCEDURES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

(1) THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER shall:

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-22 Enclosure (1) (a) Assign officers to departments and review/approve Department Head assignments within departments.

(2) MESS DECKS MASTER-AT-ARMS FORCE. When a Mess Decks Master-At-Arms is not assigned by the SMD, a Sailor is assigned and transferred to the supply department for temporary duty. A rated Master-At-Arms shall not be assigned as a Mess Decks Master-At-Arms following SECNAVINST 5530.4 (series).

(3) FOOD SERVICE ATTENDANTS, WARDROOM ROTATIONAL POOL MEMBERS, AND CPO MESS ATTENDANTS.

(a) All departments, plus embarked units, shall transfer personnel to the Supply Department for temporary duty as food service attendants, wardroom rotational pool members, and CPO mess attendants. Medical/dental personnel are prohibited from performing these duties per NAVREGS Article 1063. The total command allowance for ship's company personnel

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-24 Enclosure (1) to perform these functions displayed under the S-2 and/or S-5 Division Food Servicemen section of the applicable SMDs or Fleet Manpower Documents (FMD). Absent an approved SMD/FMD, it is recommended that FSAs be provided at a ratio of 1 to 25 from ship's enlisted company and 1 to 18 from the enlisted complements of embarked commands, the number of CPO mess attendants furnished will be on a 1 to 15 ratio, and that the number of wardroom rotational pool members assigned will equal 12 percent of its officer population.

6.2.11 SECURITY WATCH AND ANTITERRORISM BILL

a. PURPOSE. The security watch and antiterrorism bill is established to provide safety for the crew and to utilize tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) to deter, detect, defend against, mitigate, and recover from terrorist attacks. A well designed Security and Antiterrorism bill establishes a baseline of security and event driven AT/FP measures that can be rapidly enacted and preplanned responses executed in response to threats or events. The duty of the security watches is to safeguard the ship and ship's company from sabotage, civil disturbance, or compromise. When required, the security watches are augmented by the AT/FP forces with emphasis directed toward antiterrorism measures designed to protect the unit and personnel.

b. RESPONSIBILITY.

(1) Commanding officers of all U.S. Navy commissioned ships develop the physical security standards particular to their ship to ensure continuity of purpose while providing maximum effective antiterrorism defense during each FPCON level.

(2) The security officer is responsible for the maintenance and accuracy of a security bill. The security officer ensures ship's company is trained in security and establishes, under the supervision of the commanding officer, a formal qualification program.

(3) The antiterrorism officer is responsible for developing and managing the AT/FP plans and working with the security officer to ensure the resources and training are in place to execute the plan.

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-34 Enclosure (1) (4) All watch standers requiring weapons shall be qualified following OPNAVINST 3591.1 (series) and weapons will be loaded per OPNAVINST 5530.14 (series). Watch standers shall be familiar with and understand when the use of deadly force is authorized as defined in SECNAVINST 5500.29 (series). Additionally, annual refresher training shall be given to all personnel assigned to those duties to ensure that they continue to be thoroughly familiar with all restrictions on the use of deadly force. For contract security forces, use of deadly force criteria shall be established consistent with this Directive and local law.

(5) In order to comply with local law, a commander may impose further restrictions on the use of deadly force if, in their judgment, such restrictions would not unduly compromise important security interests of the United States.

c. GENERAL.

(1) Anyone with reason to believe the ship is in danger of sabotage or terrorist attack, shall immediately notify the OOD.

(2) All hands shall be alert to attempts to board the unit from anywhere except at the brows, sea ladders or normal access areas.

(3) Where hostile or subversive elements exist, all hands shall be alert for floating mines or attempts to attach limpet mines to the ship.

(4) Material brought on board, shall be thoroughly inspected by watch standers, designated members of the MAA Force, or other petty officers trained in proper search procedures. These inspections shall be conducted prior to bringing material aboard the ship when practical. Contractor tools/materials or ship's stores/equipment and like items are to be inspected as soon as practical on weather decks, sponsors, or hangar decks before being struck below.

d. IN-PORT WATCH ORGANIZATIONS. Baseline security personnel are identified as part of the in-port watch rotation. Each installation or ship has unique security requirements. The security officer shall post enough personnel to counter the threat present and prevent unauthorized access by approaching persons, vehicles, or boats and prevent causing harm, destruction, or theft of property (government or personal).

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-35 Enclosure (1) Examples of baseline security watches include: Brow Watch Pier Entrance Sentry, Pier Security Sentry Fantail Sentry, Forecastle Sentry, and Topside Sentry

The security watches are augmented be AT/FP forces based on FPCON condition and by specific AT/FP plan. The following are the types of security measures, in response to potential security violations:

(1) Navy Security Force - The Navy Security Force (NSF), ashore and afloat, consists of all armed Navy personnel assigned to law enforcement and security duties involving the use of deadly force to protect personnel and resources.

(2) Auxiliary Security Force - The Auxiliary Security (ASF) is an ashore armed force composed of local, non-deploying personnel derived from host and tenant organizations, under the operational control of the host command’s security department. The ASF augments the installation’s permanent security force during increased FPCONs, or when directed by the host installation commander.

(3) Reaction Force - The reaction force, ashore and afloat (formerly the ship self-defense force), is a task- organized force of armed personnel designed to quickly respond to threats and incidents on installations and ships. Organized and trained by the security officer, the reaction force augments the NSF, ASF, and on-watch personnel when responding to events such as bomb threats, demonstrators, intruders, and small boat attacks. Chapter 8 provides detailed guidance on skills and responsibilities of reaction forces.

(4) Nuclear Weapons Response Force - The nuclear weapons response force consisting of a Security Alert Team (two people), Backup Alert Force (three people), and Reserve Force (10 people) will be armed and deployed during increased FPCONs. Members of the reserve force may also serve as elements of the SDF provided they are not assigned duties which would take them off the ship.

(5) Nuclear Reactor Security Team - Each nuclear capable ship shall prepare a detailed Security Bill in accordance with directive(s) of its TYCOM. This bill shall include a nuclear reactor security team that responds to any attempt to sabotage or damage the reactor plant aboard nuclear powered ships. Section 6.4.9 provides requirements and standards for members of the Nuclear Reactor Security Team.

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-36 Enclosure (1) e. RESPONSIBILITY FOR POSTING WATCHES. The OOD is directly responsible to the CDO for posting all security watches and sentries and shall ascertain that personnel on watch are familiar with and proficient in their duties.

f. SECURITY ORDERS. The CDO shall be updated on current threat condition, security orders, and instructions. All sentries and security patrols shall receive written instructions.

g. ISSUE OF ARMS TO WATCHES. Arms, ammunition, and law enforcement equipment required by this bill shall be issued to the first watch 15 minutes before posting the watch. Watch personnel shall sign a receipt for gear issued and a receipt book will be kept with each set of equipment. Subsequent watch standers shall be required to sign for the equipment upon relieving the watch. Shortages or violations will be reported immediately to the CDO and the 1LT.

h. SHIPBOARD FPCON LEVELS. The shipboard FPCON levels are for use aboard U.S. Navy vessels. These measures serve two purposes. First, the crew is alerted and additional watches are created establishing greater security. Second, these measures display the ship’s resolve to prepare for and counter the terrorist threat. These actions will convey to anyone observing the ship’s activities that the ship is prepared and the ship is an undesirable target. As FPCON levels change, the ship must be prepared to take action to counter the threat. When necessary, additional measures must be taken immediately. Individual Shipboard FPCON levels are outlined in DoDI 2000.16 (series).

(1) FPCON NORMAL: Applies when a general threat of possible terrorist activity exists and warrants a routine security posture. At a minimum, access control will be conducted at all DoD installations and facilities.

(2) FPCON ALPHA: Applies when there is an increased general threat of possible terrorist activity against personnel or facilities, and the nature and extent of the threat are unpredictable. Alpha measures must be capable of being maintained indefinitely.

(3) FPCON BRAVO: Applies when an increased or more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists. Sustaining BRAVO measures for a prolonged period may affect operational capability and military-civil relationships with local authorities.

6.3.6 EMISSION CONTROL (EMCON) BILL

a. PURPOSE. To prescribe procedures for expeditiously setting EMCON conditions, to ensure the maintenance of EMCON conditions when set, and to designate an emission control center (EMCC or EMCON Center).

b. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BILL. The electronic warfare officer is responsible for this bill.

c. GENERAL INFORMATION. EMCON plans and orders aid in controlling emissions to avoid detection and/or for successful mission accomplishment. EMCON plans can vary considerably with the requirement of assigned mission. OTCs are responsible for controlling emissions for fleet and task organization commanders. Therefore a positive control system must be established and used to set and maintain the conditions ordered. EMCON orders may be received by directives, Operations Orders (OPORD), voice/CW radio, flag hoist, flashing light, and by internal communications when the OTC is embarked. Individual commands are responsible for setting and maintaining ordered EMCON conditions until modified or canceled.

d. PROCEDURES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. Prior to operations, an EMCON plan should be established to manage electromagnetic transmissions in such a way that the command receives essential

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-58 Enclosure (1) information, while controlling the probability of detection, identification, positioning, and homing by enemy forces. Implicit in this goal is minimum degradation by self- interference through manipulation of the electromagnetic spectrum.

When an EMCON order is received, equipment affected will be placed in "standby" (unless complete shutdown is necessary to prevent emission, as determined for specific equipment by the CIC or EW officer):

(1) CICWO. CIC is normally designated the EMCC. The CICWO or the EW officer will disseminate EMCON conditions to departments concerned and aircraft under CIC control. The CICWO will notify the bridge and the flag bridge (flag embarked) when the specified EMCON condition is set.

(2) WEAPONS CONTROL. Weapons control will coordinate HERO EMCON among the embarked air wing/detachments, weapons department, CIC, air department, and communications.

f. SEISMIC SEA WAVE (TSUNAMI) AND STORM SURGE WARNINGS. The seismic sea wave or tsunami (often mistakenly called a tidal wave) generates from a submarine earthquake or volcanic eruption and moves out from the generation area at speeds up to 500 miles per hour (435 knots). Because of this high speed of advance, tsunami warnings are promulgated only a few hours before arrival. The amount of time will vary with location, course, distance and intervening sea bottom. A storm surge (also mistakenly called tidal wave) is an abnormal rise of the sea

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-68 Enclosure (1) along a shore as the result, primarily, of the winds of a storm. The storm surge is frequently the most dangerous aspect of a coastal storm as heights may reach 20 feet or more. Storm surge warnings can be made well in advance of their occurrence.

(1) AT SEA:

(a) If in shoal waters, attempt to reach deeper water before the arrival of the wave.

(b) In deep water, there should be no danger from this phenomenon.

(2) IN PORT (CDO):

(a) Notify the commanding and executive officers of the warning.

(b) Cancel liberty. If possible, recall the liberty party.

(c) Set bridge and steaming watches.

(d) If possible to get underway and into deep water, do so as soon as possible.

(e) Hoist all boats and accommodation ladders.

(f) If unable to get underway, veer additional chain and drop another anchor.

(g) If alongside, run additional slack mooring lines and wires to take the strain if the normal mooring lines part, slack normal mooring lines.

(h) Attempt to clear all ships alongside.

g. ROGUE WAVES. A dangerous phenomenon during periods of high seas is the occasional appearance of a giant wave, which may be nearly twice the height of the significant wave height being experienced at the time. These waves cannot be forecast precisely. Therefore, they may occur without warning, although advisories may be issued describing general areas where these waves are likely to occur. Ships should be rigged for heavy weather when traversing these potential giant wave areas if avoidance is not operationally feasible.

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-101 Enclosure (1)

6.3.18 SHIP'S SILENCING BILL

a. PURPOSE. To provide guidance to reduce own ship's noise to enhance the performance of installed acoustic sonar’s and to decrease the acoustic detectability of own ship.

b. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BILL. The engineer officer is responsible for this bill and shall work with and through the Ship Silencing Board to accomplish the objectives of this bill.

c. INFORMATION. Noise is simply defined as unwanted sound. Shipboard noise is usually an undesirable by-product of some useful activity, such as running propulsion machinery auxiliaries or tools. It can also be generated by careless activity such as dropping tools or slamming hatches. While shipboard noise may adversely impact the crew physically and/or psychologically and indicate poor equipment maintenance, this bill is primarily concerned with "tactical" noise. The noise generated by one's own ship directly influences the performance of installed acoustic sonar’s and can aid the enemy in detection for an attack on the ship. There are four general areas or methods of reducing own ship's noise.

(1) EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE. Proper maintenance is vital to noise reduction. Installed devices for acoustically monitoring equipment must be used properly to produce increased reliability and reduced noise. Detailed procedures are in appropriate directives and manuals. If special equipment is not installed, the human ear and other tests can be used.

6.3.21 VISIT AND SEARCH, BOARDING AND SALVAGE, AND PRIZE CREW BILL

a. PURPOSE. To set forth an organization to which personnel shall be assigned for visiting and searching, boarding and salvaging, and placing a prize crew on board ship on the high seas; and to prescribe appropriate responsibilities and procedures.

b. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BILL. The operations officer is responsible for this bill and shall advise the executive officer of required changes or other matters affecting the bill.

c. GENERAL. Under certain circumstances, U.S. Navy ships are authorized to approach and visit ships encountered inside the territorial waters of the U.S. or in international waters. In addition, there are limited circumstances in which U.S. Navy ships may become involved in salvage operations or the taking of a prize. This bill describes generally the circumstances under which these situations may occur and prescribes responsibilities of officers and crew assigned to carry out such operations.

d. INFORMATION.

(1) APPROACH AND VISIT. As a general rule, vessels in international waters are immune from the jurisdiction of any nation other than the flag nation. However, under international law, a warship may approach any vessel in international waters to verify its nationality. In addition, unless the vessel encountered is itself a warship or non-commercial government vessel of another nation, it may be stopped, boarded and the ship's documents examined, provided there is reasonable ground for suspecting that it is:

(a) Engaged in piracy.

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-110 Enclosure (1)

(b) Engaged in the slave trade.

(c) Engaged in unauthorized broadcasting.

(d) Without nationality.

(e) Through flying a foreign flag, or refusing to show its flag, in reality, of the same nationality as the warship.

(2) VISIT AND SEARCH. Under the law of armed conflict, belligerent warships or aircraft may visit and search a merchant vessel for the purpose of determining its true character, i.e., enemy or neutral, nature of cargo, manner of employment and other facts bearing on its relation to the conflict. Such visits occur outside neutral territorial seas. This right does not extend to visiting or searching warships or vessels engaged in government non-commercial service. In addition, neutral merchant vessels in convoy of neutral warships are exempt from visit and search, although the convoy commander may be required to certify the neutral character of merchant vessels' cargo.

(3) SUPPORT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT. U.S. naval units provide support to the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and other U.S. law enforcement agencies, primarily in the area of drug interdiction. When a naval unit is operating under USCG tactical control with a Law Enforcement Detachment (LEDET) embarked, the support may include providing a platform for approach, visit, and arrest/seizure of suspect vessels pursuant to the law enforcement authority of the USCG. Detailed guidance is found in applicable OPORDs governing the affected naval units.

(4) Additional information pertaining to the above is found in NWP 1-14M, chapters 3 and 7.

e. RESPONSIBILITIES AND PROCEDURES.

(1) THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER shall:

(a) Designate, subject to the approval of the commanding officer, an examining officer to train and direct the visit and search party in accordance with the rules and procedures prescribed in NWP 1-14M and appropriate provisions of applicable OPORDs.

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-111 Enclosure (1) (b) Designate, subject to the approval of the commanding officer, a boarding officer to train and direct the boarding and salvage party.

g. SUPPORT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT.

(1) GENERAL. The USCG is the primary U.S. maritime agency charged with the enforcement of all federal laws on the high seas and in waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. When USCG LEDETs are embarked on U.S. Navy platforms, the U.S. Navy supports the USCG in its law enforcement responsibilities (primarily drug interdiction) on a not-to-interfere basis with fleet operations and readiness. Similar support is also provided to other U.S. law enforcement agencies when authorized by DOD. When operating from U.S. Navy ships, the OIC of the LEDET is responsible for directing and executing searches, arrests or seizures of suspect vessels. Such actions are based on USCG directives and policy. The commanding officer, however, remains responsible for their ship and retains the authority to allow, disallow, suspend, or

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-115 Enclosure (1) terminate any law enforcement activity involving his command when circumstances require.

(2) BOARDING SUSPECT VESSELS. Consistent with applicable USCG directives, LEDETs may board vessels of United States Registry when directed by the senior embarked USCG boarding officer. LEDETs may board foreign flag vessels in international waters only after appropriate interagency coordination required by Presidential Directive (PD)/NSC-27. Transport to vessels being boarded is provided by U.S. Navy small boats operated by Navy personnel. The U.S. naval unit also provides backup support to the LEDET, including the use of deadly force, if necessary for self-defense or the protection of the boarding party. U.S. naval personnel may board seized and detained vessels for non-law enforcement purposes (such as damage control, rigging of the tow, etc.) when directed by their commanding officer.

(3) TACTICAL CONTROL OF U.S. NAVAL UNITS IN SUPPORT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS. U.S. Naval Units must shift tactical control to the appropriate Coast Guard authority prior to USCG LEDETs boarding suspect vessels, and establish communications on the designated law enforcement command and control net. Tactical control remains with the USCG during boardings and any subsequent towing or escort operations. The U.S. Naval Unit will fly the USCG ensign from the yard during all such operations.

(4) USE-OF-FORCE IN SUPPORT OF USCG LEDET OPERATIONS. USCG use-of-force policy governs boarding operations. However, consistent with CJCSI 3121.01 (series), this does not limit the authority or responsibility of the commanding officer to use such force as is necessary for the protection of his ship and personnel.

(5) CUSTODY OF SEIZED VESSEL/PROPERTY/PRISONERS. Custody of and responsibility for seized vessels, other property and prisoners is retained by the USCG. The commanding officer may provide U.S. naval personnel to augment the LEDET to guard and control prisoners if required for security of the naval unit.

h. VISIT AND SEARCH. This section provides procedures incident to the U.S. Government's exercise of its right as a belligerent to visit and search neutral merchant vessels suspect-ed of carrying contraband. Visit and search shall be in strict conformity with International Law, existing treaty

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-116 Enclosure (1) provisions, NWP 1-14M, appropriate provisions of applicable OPORDs, and Rules of Engagement.

i. DUTIES AND PROCEDURES. Duties of the examining officer, commanding officer of capturing vessel, prize master, and prize crew for visit and search are the same as delineated in paragraph 6.3.21.f. Procedures for visit and search papers to be examined, reports, record of action taken, and boarding and salvage are the same as delineated in paragraph 6.3.21.f.

6.4. EMERGENCY BILLS

6.4.1 GENERAL EMERGENCY BILL

a. PURPOSE. To provide an organization, prescribe procedures and assign responsibilities for controlling the effects of a major emergency or disaster suffered by the ship (such as collision, grounding, internal and external explosion, CBR contamination, earthquake, storm, or battle damage). It further provides for the orderly and controlled exit of personnel if abandoning ship is required and for salvage of the ship if feasible. The damage control organization is necessarily an integral part of the Engineering Department organization. However, each department aboard ship has major administrative responsibilities in damage control. Every officer and enlisted person must be familiar with damage control organization and their part in the common responsibility of all hands in it. More detailed procedures are contained in NTTP 3- 20.31, NSTM Chapter 470, and COMNAVSURFORCEINST 3541.1 (series) consistent with CJCSI S3121.01 (series). These publications should be used when conducting training to ensure that all personnel are well versed in handling emergencies.

6.4.7 NUCLEAR WEAPONS ACCIDENT/INCIDENT BILL

a. PURPOSE. To establish general procedures, assign responsibilities, and define the specific hazards and basic considerations involved in a nuclear weapons accident/incident.

b. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BILL. The weapons officer (or combat systems officer) under the supervision of the executive officer, is responsible for this bill. The nuclear safety officer (if assigned) shall assist the weapons officer with this bill.

c. INFORMATION. A nuclear weapons accident/incident is a potential or actual casualty to a nuclear weapon or related system which endangers personnel, the ship, or its vital equipment.

d. DEFINITIONS. Nuclear weapons accidents and incidents:

(1) NUCLEAR WEAPON ACCIDENT. An unexpected event involving nuclear weapons or nuclear components which results in any of the following:

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-150 Enclosure (1) (a) Accidental or unauthorized launching, firing, or use by U.S. forces or by U.S. supported allied forces of a nuclear capable weapon(s) system which could create a risk of war.

(b) Nuclear detonation.

(c) Non-nuclear detonation/burning of a nuclear weapon.

(d) Radioactive contamination.

(e) Seizure, theft, or loss of a nuclear weapon or nuclear component, including jettisoning.

(f) Public hazard, actual or implied.

(2) NUCLEAR WEAPON SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT. An unexpected event involving weapons or nuclear components which does not fall in the nuclear weapon accident category but:

(a) Results in evident damage to a nuclear weapon or nuclear component to the extent that major rework, complete replacement, or examination or recertification by the Department of Energy (DOE) is required; or:

(b) Requires immediate action in the interest of safety, or which may result in adverse public reaction (national or international) or premature release of information; or

(c) Has such potential consequences as to warrant the informational interest or action of CNO, Fleet Commander, or area coordinator (as appropriate), and others in the military chain of command.

(3) NUCLEAR WEAPON INCIDENT. A casualty which, by contrast, does not fall into the aforementioned categories. It is defined as any unexpected event involving a nuclear weapon or component (including war reserve, operational suitability test, quality assurance service test, training weapons, associated test and handling equipment), resulting in any of the following:

(a) Incidents whereby the possibility of detonation or radioactive contamination is increased.

(b) Individual errors committed in the assembly, testing, loading, or transporting of equipment; or the

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-151 Enclosure (1) malfunctioning of equipment and material which could lead to an unintentional operation of all or part of a weapon arming or firing sequence.

(c) Individual errors committed in the assembly, testing, loading, or transporting of equipment; or the malfunctioning of equipment, and material which could lead to substantially reduced yield or increased dud probability.

(d) Any natural phenomenon, over which man has no control, resulting in damage to weapon or component.

(e) Any unfavorable environment or condition which causes damage to a weapon or component.

(f) An unfavorable environment or condition, which subjects a nuclear weapon to vibration, shock, stress, extreme temperature, or other environment sufficient to cause a question of reliability or safety of the type weapon involved. This includes exposure or suspected exposure of the weapon or major components to electrical or electromagnetic energy which could energize or damage weapon components.

e. GENERAL PLAN. For planning purposes, nuclear weapons accidents or significant incidents may be divided into these phases:

(1) PREPARATORY PHASE. All cognizant personnel are placed on alert, and firefighting personnel and equipment are readied for use during any nuclear weapons handling evolutions in order that response time is minimized.

(2) ACCIDENT PHASE. During this phase, personnel determine the nature of the problem and take immediate actions to control the effects of an explosion/fire or release of radioactivity.

(3) EOD PHASE. Once the effects of a casualty have been contained, the weapon must be rendered safe by the EOD team. Setting the re-flash watch, removing or isolating of loose high explosive, and de-watering and de-smoking normally are conducted during this phase.

(4) MONITORING PHASE. Radiation casualty teams with alpha and gamma survey meters and air sample devices determine what radiation hazards exist to enable the on-scene commander to evaluate the situation.

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-152 Enclosure (1)

(5) DECONTAMINATION PHASE. Contaminated or injured personnel are removed, decontaminated, and provided medical assistance as necessary. Guidance for the medical aspects of nuclear safety is in special weapons ordnance publications (SWOPs) and other references of higher authority. Once radiation areas are determined during the monitoring phase, outside assistance may be requested for personnel and advice as to how best to decontaminate affected areas.

(6) REPORTING PHASE. Initial, progress, and final reports must be submitted as applicable.

(a) The order in which the phases occur is not fixed because of the many situations that may arise. Generally, portions of each phase may occur simultaneously.

(b) Effective on-scene leadership and internal communications are essential for rapid control and neutralization of any nuclear weapon casualty situation.

f. IMMEDIATE ACTION.

(1) Control the effects of an explosion/fire by standard damage control procedures. Ensure that other weapons/explosives in the immediate vicinity are protected from the effects of heat. Loose high explosives create additional hazards.

(2) Determine radiation hazards and gross contamination using survey meters or air sampling equipment. All personnel on scene should have some type of respiratory protection and should be relieved as soon as practical by personnel in proper protective clothing. Contamination must be controlled as soon as possible. The spread of any amount of radioactive contamination may cause considerable public concern.

(3) Table 6-9 Criteria for Whole Body Radiation Exposure contains suggested criteria for radiation exposure during a nuclear weapons accident or significant incident.

g. PROCEDURES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

(1) THE COMMANDING OFFICER/CDO shall:

(a) Set appropriate material condition to contain the hazard within the ship. If necessary in port, put emergency shore survey team ashore.

6.4.8 TOXIC GAS BILL

a. PURPOSE. To specify the procedures and assign duties and responsibilities for controlling and minimizing the effects of toxic gas within the unit. See NTTP 3-20.31 Surface Ship Survivability.

b. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BILL. The DCA is responsible for this bill.

c. INFORMATION.

(1) Toxic gases which may be encountered include those gases whose presence indicates an emergency condition (chlorine, and so forth) and for which no allowable concentration is established and those normally generated gases (carbon monoxide, ammonia, carbon dioxide) for which permissible limits have been established for continuous exposure. (See Table 6-10 Example of Toxic and Hazardous Gas/Vapors That May Be Encountered). The ship's response to a toxic gas emergency should include the immediate evacuation of personnel, determination of the hazard, and removal of the hazard. The response could be summarized as an accelerated gas free evolution.

(a) Conduct atmospheric testing, even if the source can be found and stopped. If the local reading is high, it is possible to wait for dilution. All exposed personnel should be observed by a medical representative for symptoms of toxic exposure.

(b) If initial concentration meets "immediately dangerous to life or health" levels and if the source cannot be found quickly and stopped, or if personnel develop symptoms traceable to the material, fresh air ventilation and/or respiratory protection must be used.

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-156 Enclosure (1) (c) If the operational or tactical situation on board submarines does not require continued submergence, surface ventilation is preferable when any appreciable quantity of toxic material is discovered.

(2) The decision as to whether the general alarm should be sounded must be based on the circumstances. The appropriate word must be passed to notify all hands of a toxic gas emergency. Slight over tolerances will not require sounding of the general alarm. On the other hand, excessive smoke or the rapid escape of any toxic gas may dictate the sounding of the general alarm.

(3) The affected compartment usually can be determined by direct report from that compartment. Do not rely solely on reports from the affected space because those personnel may have been overcome by the toxic vapors. Care should be taken to monitor boundary spaces in addition to the affected space.

(4) If a submarine is completely submerged, chlorine will most likely be detected in the ventilation exhaust. If surfaced, snorkeling, or ventilating, chlorine will most likely be detected only in the battery well. If chlorine is encountered, secure the agitation system. Chlorine is most likely to be caused by flooding, which could also produce fire.

d. PROCEDURES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

(1) ALL HANDS shall:

(a) Pass the word to the OOD giving type and source of gas, compartment name and number, and status of personnel remaining in space or vicinity.

(b) Shut bulkhead flappers, for applicable ships, and dog watertight doors.

(c) Carry out procedures of the General Emergency and Toxic Gas Bills.

(d) If gas is concentrated in one compartment, all unnecessary personnel shall evacuate the compartment immediately. Those remaining shall evacuate as soon as possible and shall wear respiratory protection while required to remain in the space.

(2) While a nuclear-powered ship is in-port, there shall be an armed (i.e., equipped with firearm and associated ammunition) security watch at each point of access used by personnel not assigned to the ship. This requirement is in addition to the armed response required in paragraph 6.4.9d(1) and should ensure that only authorized personnel have access to

OPNAVINST 3120.32D 16 JUL 2012 6-160 Enclosure (1) the ship. This function is normally provided by the armed topside watch aboard a nuclear-powered submarine and an armed watch stander on each brow of a nuclear-powered surface ship. However, in locations where an external armed response is provided and positive access to the area adjacent to the ship is controlled (i.e., shipyards), this first line of armed protection can be transferred under an appropriate security memorandum of agreement between the ship and supporting activity.

(3) This bill shall be in effect for any commissioned ships with a reactor core installed. For new construction ships, the prospective commanding officer or OIC shall establish this bill upon taking custody of a reactor core. By written agreement, new construction ships, overhaul ships, or ships undergoing inactivation may use shipyard resources to satisfy the requirements of this bill in accordance with NAVSEAINST C9210.22B.
