INTRODUCTION

The basic engineering plant layout is very similar between DD-963, DDG-993, and CG-47 class ships. A majority of the major propulsion, electrical and auxiliary systems are located in the four main spaces. The remainder is spread out through several smaller engineering spaces and pump rooms. All of these spaces will be discussed below. The individual systems and equipment vary slightly in numbers, locations and capacities between the three classes of ships. You should concentrate on the information concerning the class of ship you expect to report to.

INFORMATION

  1. One of the primary missions of destroyers and cruisers is antisubmarine warfare (ASW). To support this mission, various ship’s silencing features are available.

    2. Fig 1: DD-963 Engineering Spaces

    1. Masker air absorbs the noise generated by equipment in the main engineering spaces. The air needed for the masker air system is supplied from the bleed air header to the emitter rings on the hull surrounding the main spaces.
    2. Prairie air is used to reduce the noise created by the ship’s propellers as they turn in the water. The air is released from the edges of the propeller blades. This air is also supplied from the bleed air system.
    3. Along with the use of masker and prairie air, other types of sound deadening devices are used in the engineering plant.
      1. Resilient mounts are used on all rotating/reciprocating equipment to prevent the transfer of equipment vibrations to the ship’s hull.
      2. Flex hoses are used to connect pumps to piping systems. These hoses will absorb the surging of equipment during initial start-up.
      3. Flexible pipe hangers are used to isolate the piping systems from the hull to prevent the transfer of vibrations created due to flow noise within the pipe.
      4. Silencers are used on Gas Turbine ships to reduce air flow noise in the intakes and exhausts.
      5. Acoustic tiles are used inside the spaces in the bilges and inner bottoms to aid the masker air system in the dampening of main engine and reduction gear noise.
  2. Ship's Characteristics
    1. The following table summarizes ship's characteristics:

    DD-963 DDG-993 CG-47

    Length (ft) 563 563 567

    Beam (ft) 55 55 55

    Displacement (tons) 7800 10,000 9600

    Fuel capacity (gal) 510,000 553,000 620,000

  3. Damage Control Repair Locker Designations
    1. Repair II is located on the port side, frame 94 on the main deck. It supports the forward half of the ship not including the main engineering spaces.
    2. Repair V is located port side, frame 226 on the main deck. It supports the main engineering spaces in all fire fighting and flooding evolutions.
    3. Repair III is located port side, frame 426 on the first platform. The DC deck drops one deck aft so that it does not become the weatherdeck. It supports the after half of the ship, less the main engineering spaces.
    4. The location of Combat Systems Maintenance Central (CSMC) varies from ship to ship. However, it is usually in a centrally located ET shop. CSMC responds to fires and casualty situations in combat systems spaces.
    5. The Helo crash and rescue (Repair 3A) is located in the hangar and assists in response to fires or damage on the flight deck.
    6. The main deck serves as the DC deck from the bow to frame 382, where it drops to the first platform and continues aft to the fantail. This split is necessary since the main deck is exposed to the weather from frame 470 aft.
  4. Underway Replenishment Stations
    1. There are four fueling stations from which fuel can be taken aboard. UNREP stations three, four, seven, and eight can all be used for taking on F-76.
      1. Stations three and four are at frame 183, 01 level, starboard and port side respectively. JP-5 and 2190 TEP lube oil may also be received from these stations.
      2. Stations seven and eight are at frame 398, 01 level, starboard and port side respectively. Only JP-5 and F-76 can be taken on from these stations.
      3. There are six solid CONREP stations from which ship to ship replenishments can take place. There are four retractable kingposts available, for use at stations 1, 2, 9, and 10. Two sliding padeyes on the 01 level port and starboard at frame 260 may also be used for CONREP (Stations 5 and 6).
    2. There are three VERTREP stations
      1. A forward VERTREP station at frame 46, 01 level.
      2. VERTREP station Nr. 2 is the flight deck.
      3. VERTREP station Nr. 3 is at frame 518, main deck.
