F. Plywood Blanks: Blanks are normally used in preservation procedures to introduce dehumidification to a
watercraft. They are normally sealed with pressure sensitive tape, glue, stippable and bituminous coatings over
large openings penetrating the dehumidified area which are not air tight. It is the responsibility of the storage
activity/organization to lift the actual dimensions from the watercraft for each blank to be fabricated and to
design, procure and install the simple quick-acting dogging devices or strongback securing devices.  The
locations and quantities of blanks required are identified in Appendices A through D.
G. BII (Basic Issue Items): Boat sets are provided for each watercraft as the minimum authorized requirements for
the operation, maintenance, health, safety, and welfare of the crew.  All watercraft operating equipment,
operating supplies, repair parts, and accessory items will have been previously inventoried, replenished,
represerved, and repackaged by the storage activity/organization. The storage activity/organization will also
have had previously restowed on each watercraft all items in their appropriate stowage brackets, bins, lockers,
and storerooms, except accessory items normally stored on the exterior (fire hoses, nozzles, fire axes, spanner
and dog wrenches), which shall be tagged with identification/location and stored inside the dehumidification zone.
All watercraft technical manuals, lubrication orders, drawings, support publications and operating logs and
records shall be inventoried, replenished and stowed in lockers aboard the watercraft. All BII having shelf life will
be stored separately in a readily accessible location for inspection and replacement during extended storage
periods.
H. Gaskets, Packing and Fasteners: New gaskets, packing, seals and fasteners in good condition shall be used
during reassembly of equipment upon completion of preservation. This procedure does not provide for openings
in fuel, raw water, fresh water, etc., systems to D/H areas.
I. Fresh Water Chlorination: Reference TB 43-0153. It is the responsibility of the storage activity or organizational
tasked to prepare HLPS watercraft for storage to provide and store calcium hyprochorite technical (HTH) or
chlorinated lime, face shield and rubber gloves on board watercraft in quantities listed in Appendix A through D.
The calcium hyprochorite technical or chlorinated technical (HTH) or chlorinated lime will be stowed in a cool dry
place inside the watercraft in a readily accessible location for inspection and replacement.
J. RECORDS: It is the responsibility of the Storage Activity or Organization tasked to prepare Watercraft to
establish Equipment Log Folder (green binder), preservation file and initially prepare required forms.  The
Equipment Log Folder and Preservation file will be stored in a conspicuous place in the mess area of each
watercraft, on the LCM-8 they will be stored in the engine room.
(1) The Equipment Log Folder (green binder) will be used to store forms for record purposes in accordance
with DA PAM 738-750, "Maintenance Management".
(a) Two (2) each DA form 2408-9, "Equipment Control Record" are required and will be inserted in the
Equipment Log Folder. One (1) DA 2408-9 will be used for the " ransfer Report" and distributed in
T
accordance with DA PAM 738-750. The " ransfer Report" will be prepared by the Storage Activity or
T
Organization initially preparing Watercraft for storage.  The Transfer Report is applicable to
watercraft designs LCU, LCM-8, LT-3006 and BD-264B.
(b) DA Form 2408-20, "Oil Analysis Log" will be inserted in the Equipment Log Folder for design LCU
and LCM-8. One (1) form will be required for each engine on the watercraft, i.e., LCU six (6)
engines, LCM-8 four (4) engines. The Storage Activity preparing the Watercraft for storage shall
annotate the first entry on each form. See Figure III-1.
