Section I. INTRODUCTION
1. PURPOSE. This bulletin prescribes the watercraft major components for which a requirement is
established to maintain and collect maintenance management data.
2. RESPONSIBILITIES. All Army organizations operating, maintaining, stocking, storing, issuing,
modifying repairing, and overhauling of watercraft and their components or assemblies, which are the
property of the Department of the Army, will comply with the provisions of this bulletin.
3. DEFINITIONS.
a. End Item. A final combination of end products, component parts, and/or materials which is ready
for its intended use (e.g., Landing Craft Utility, Logistics Support Vessel, Barge Derrick).
b. Component. An assembly mounted together during manufacture (e.g., Main Engine, Emergency
Generator Set, Marine Sanitation Device).
c. Subassembly. Functional division within an assembly made up of a number of parts and capable
of further disassembly (e.g., fuel oil transfer pump, motor electric).
Section II. GENERAL PROCEDURES
4. GENERAL.
a. A comprehensive collection system of maintenance management data on watercraft has been
established within DA PAM 738-750. The successful collection and utilization of this data is
prescribed in the following paragraph.
b. A configuration survey has been performed on specific US Army Floating Equipment. The survey
consisted of obtaining information on vessel components and subassemblies. This initial survey
information has been processed into a computer data bank at the US Army Tank-automotive and
Armaments Command (TACOM), Warren, MI, the responsible National Maintenance Point (NMP).
Continuous updating of the vessels, components, and/or subassemblies will be accomplished
annually.
5. PROCEDURES.
a. A printout (3 diskette or e-mail, Excel format) of the major components and subassemblies of a
watercraft will be forwarded annually to the responsible using unit for the purpose of review and
updating. The review and updating will be performed by the Vessel master, Marine maintenance
officer, or engineer, as applicable. Any changes to the component listing and including any/all
components that have been added will be annotated on the printout and signed by the reviewer. All
changes to existing components and additions of new components will include all data fields
necessary to make a complete and accurate record (i.e., nomenclature, model, serial number,
manufacturer, national stock number, total engine operating hours). In addition, physical/ operational
characteristics necessary to identify the component (i.e., inlet/outlet sizes, horsepower rating, frame
size), will be included in the remarks section of the component. All data fields are to be updated and
all new components added will be annotated.
b. When floating equipment enters the shipyard or repair facility in a noncrewed status, review and
update will be the responsibility of the onsite US Army responsible agent performing contract
surveillance.
