Section 110: Engineering Watch Organization Fundamentals

110.1 Describe the duties and responsibilities of the following inport watches:

a. Engineering Duty Officer (EDO) - EDO watches are set in port and at "cold iron". - Over all in charge of equipment and watchstanders throughout the engineering spaces. - Answers to the CDO, keeps Chief Engineer and primary assistants informed of all pertinent information, equipment status changes and operations. - Responsible for maintaining the engineering log and is authorized to sign tag-outs for engineering department. - Supervisors directly below EDO in the watch team chain of command are: - Duty MP FWD, - Duty MP AFT, - Duty EM, - Oil King, - Duty A-Gang, - Duty Assault, - DCC Watch, - Duty R Division.

b. Damage Control Central (DCC) - Responsible for monitoring firemain pressure throughout the ship, various flooding and intrusion alarms and the list and trim of the ship. - Acts as a point of contact for all emergencies on ship (i.e. fires, flooding, toxic spills, etc.). - This is where the DCA and EDO go for any emergencies in port to direct all efforts of the ship’s Inport Fire Fighting Team. - The DCC watch reports to the EDO inport cold iron or the EOOW if steaming. - The following engineering watches report to the DCC watch: - AC&R Rover, - Auxiliary Rover, - Sounding and Security and - Cold Iron watches for the main spaces.

c. Sounding and Security watch - One rover, monitors engineering auxiliary spaces, tanks and voids (excluding AC&R spaces) for fire, flooding and security. Reports to DCC on the hour.

d. Auxiliary Rover - One rover, monitors engineering auxiliary spaces (LPACs/HPACs) for fire, flooding and security. Reports to DCC on the hour.

e. Cold Iron Watch/In-port Equipment Monitor - One watchstander assigned to each main space for monitoring equipment operations, fire & flooding and security. Set when "cold iron" inport.

f. Fire Marshall - Works under the engineering officer and DCA. - Responsible for the maintenance and readiness of the ship’s fire fighting equipment. - Also responsible for the prevention and elimination of fire hazards on the ship.

110.2 Describe the duties and responsibilities of the following underway watches:

a. Engineering Officer of the Watch (EOOW) - The EOOW is the officer on watch in charge of the main propulsion plant and of the associated auxiliaries. - The EOOW is primarily responsible for the safe and efficient performance of the engineering department watches (except damage control) associated with the equipment in his or her charge. - The engineering officer determines if an officer or petty officer of the engineering department is qualified to perform duties of the EOOW. - The engineer officer or, in his or her absence, the MPA is authorized to direct the EOOW concerning the duties of the watch when such action is considered necessary.

b. Space Supervisor - The petty officer in charge of the main propulsion plant that he/she is assigned to stand watch in. - Responsible for the safe and efficient performance of the plant that he/she is assigned. - The engineering officer determines if a senior petty officer of the engineering department is qualified to perform duties of a Space Supervisor.

c. c. Electrical Plant Control Panel (EPCP) Supervisor - Senior Petty Officer in charge of the Electrical Distribution throughout the ship. - Point of contact for the EOOW concerning all aspects of electrical distribution. - Responsible for the safe and efficient performance of all aspects of the electrical plant where he/she is assigned. - The engineering officer determines if a senior petty officer of the engineering department is qualified to perform duties of an EPCP.

d. Oil King/Water King - Reports to the EOOW/EDO. - This watch is always set. - Responsible for: - conducting all Fuel Oil on-loads, transfers and testing; - boiler water/feed water treatment and testing; and - lube oil on-loads and testing. - Maintains all pertinent logs and conducts testing in the oil lab. - Maintains fuel oil and water report.

Section 111: Fuel Oil Fundamentals

111.1 State the types and uses of Fuel Oil (F/O) onboard.

- Diesel Fuel Marine (DFM), F-76 (NATO Code) - JP-5, F-44 (NATO Code)

111.2 State the purpose of the following major systems: a. F/O Service System - Provide ready use fuel oil for ship’s propulsion boilers.

b. F/O Transfer System - Provides a ready means for receiving fuel to ship’s storage tanks, allows for inner-ship transfers from storage tanks to service tanks, and allows for delivery of DFM from ship’s storage tanks to another ship.

c. F/O Stripping System - Provides a means for removing contaminates from the lowest point of both service and storage tanks.

d. JP-5 Service System - Provides ready service fuel for aircraft and standby service fuel for LCACs.

e. JP-5 Transfer System - Provides a ready means for receiving JP-5 to ship’s storage tanks, allows for inner-ship transfer from ship’s JP-5 storage tanks to service system, and allows delivery of JP-5 from ship’s storage tanks to another ship.

f. Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) F/O Service system - Provides purified DFM to the portside welldeck delivery station for refueling LCMs. JP-5 is also provided to the starboard side welldeck delivery station for refueling LCACs.

Section 112: Interior Communications Fundamentals

112.1 Explain the purpose of the underwater log. The underwater log system (circuit Y) measures and indicates the speed of the ship through the water and the distance traveled through the water. It transmits these indications to various speed indicators and equipment throughout the ship.

112.2 Explain the function and location of the following components. a. Rodmeter (pitsword) - Located in the Underwater Log Trunk in the FWD JP5 pumproom. Provides an AC (Alternating Current) signal that is proportional to the ship’s speed. The Rodmeter sensing unit is contained in a “Boot” or the lower end of the sword. An electromagnetic field is used to detect changes in the ship’s speed by electromagnetic induction.

b. Indicator transmitter - Located in FWD IC. Displays the ship’s speed on a dial and the distance on an odometer. The indicator transmitter contains all the electrical and mechanical components necessary to measure the voltage from the rodmeter to convert it into ship’s speed and distance.

c. Sea Valve - Located in the Underwater Log Trunk in the FWD JP5 pumproom. Mounted on the hull of the ship. The sea valve and packing assembly provides a watertight support for the rodmeter. It also functions to seal the hull of the ship when the rodmeter is removed for maintenance. Located in the underwater log trunk.

112.3 State the function and location of the gyrocompass. There is a (WSN-5) located in Forward and AFT IC rooms. The purpose of the WSN-5 is to provide heading, pitch, and roll, Latitude and Longitude, velocity north and velocity east in analog and digital mode for navigation radars and weapons systems.

112.4 State the difference between a repeater and a vital repeater (OSG/119). a. A vital repeater is fed directly from the WSN-5, they are: 1. Bridge (Ships control console) 2. Emergency steering 3. Secondary Con 4. FWD and AFT IC.

b. Non-Vital repeaters are located throughout the ship and are fed from Synchro Signal Amplifiers (SSA)

112.5 State the purpose of the Synchro Signal Amplifier (SSA) Provides signals and power to non-vital repeaters and buffers the WSN-5.

112.6 State the purpose of the following Interior Communications (IC) circuits: a. 6TV - Surveillance systems. 20 Cameras located throughout the ship, a modulated TV system. Main equipment rack located in Site TV.

b. 14TV - Ships information. Training and entertainment system. Modulated TV system used for crew entertainment (KBOX).

c. 9TV - Secured base-ban video system, used for briefing and debriefing in Intel spaces. Main equipment rack located in JIC.
