X. Wire Rope, Rigging and Fittings:
(1) Rigging, standing rigging and related fittings will remain in place and will be cleaned and slushed/coated
with rust resistant lubricant (MIL-G-18458) or VV-L751. Threaded fittings such as turnbuckles, shackles,
and ramp load binders shall be turned sufficiently to assure a coating of preservative on the mating
surfaces.
(2) Wire Rope:
(a) Wire rope on all of the craft will remain reeved and/or rigged. Wire rope on drums such as winches
and similar gear will be unwound, cleaned and coated with rust resistant lubricant (MIL-G-18458) or
VV-L-751. The exposed surfaces of the drums will also be cleaned and coated. The cleaning and/or
coating may be accomplished as the wire rope is rewound on the drums. Precautions shall be taken
to insure wire ropes on the landing craft that are faired thru the voids and/or ramps are not
overlooked. Ensure that tension is maintained, with proper lay, as the wire rope is rewound onto the
drums.
(b) On the Design 264-B Cranes, it is not feasible nor necessary to unwind all of the wire rope from the
auxiliary, main hook, and luffing drums. The wire rope exposed to the elements (outside of the
rotate machinery house) including the unpainted surfaces of the sheaves shall be thoroughly cleaned
and slushed/coated with rust resistant lubricant (MIL- G-18458) or VV-L-751. The wire rope within
the rotate machinery house, from the house penetrations to the top layer on the drums shall also be
coated.
(3) Sheaves: All sheaves shall be lubricated IAW the design watercraft's applicable lubrication order.
Y. Steering Systems: Unpainted surfaces of quadrants, rods, linkages, exposed to the weather/ elements shall be
coated with P-1 preservative. Exposed surfaces of hydraulic rams shall be coated with P-10, Type I, Grade 30.
Z. Galley Equipments: A light coat of cooking oil/crisco will be applied to those surfaces of galley equipments
vulnerable to corrosion such as grill tops, etc. Oven doors will be left open. Oil burners of galley ranges will be
drained. Door on refrigerators will be blocked open for ventilation.
AA. Sanitary Drains: All drain traps shall be drained.
BB. Fixed Fire Fighting Systems: Systems shall be ready for service. No preservation required.
CAUTION
The Design 1466A LCU's have a HALON System that is controlled by a manual/automatic switch
located in the switchboard room. During storage the switch will be placed in manual position.
4. SPECIFIC PRESERVATION INSTRUCTIONS:
A. Batteries: After all other preservation has been accomplished and the need for the installed batteries no longer
exist, the battery cables shall be disconnected. The old batteries shall be removed and turned into the
preservation facility supply section for disposition. New starting batteries (dry charged) shall be installed and
secured in the battery storage trays. All interconnecting cables will be connected and coated with grease to
prevent corrosion. The positive and negative terminals will be sealed in plastic. Electrolyte for the batteries to
be used when the craft are activated shall be placed and secured in close proximity of the batteries. Exception,
on the Design 1466A LCU's the electrolyte shall be stowed in the crew's quarters or mess deck.
