Description
Summary:Ship arrangements is a critical ship system since the size, location, configuration and access of compartments affect the performance, supportability and survivability of the systems contained in the; the performance and safety of the personnel assigned to the compartments; and, by extension, the overall performance and survivability of the ship as a whole. Ship arrangements is, therefore, a system which should be placed under NAVSEA life-cycle technical control. In a practical sense, consistent arrangements across a class of ships increases the cost-effectiveness of implementing Ship Alts and other class-wide changes and improves the supportability of installed systems. This paper addresses the purposes, procedures, products and participants of the Ship Arrangement Configuration Management Program being implemented by NAVSEA 55W1. Examples from the initial application of the program on battleship and destroyer types are presented. Presented at the Annual Technical Symposium (23rd), 1986.
