Question 21

What are the three FRTP Variations?

Answer 21

* Full Basic Phase * Abbreviated Basic Phase * Certification Extension

Question 22

What is Full Basic Phase?

Answer 22

Ships that have a scheduled CNO availability

Question 23

What is Abbreviated Basic Phase?

Answer 23

* When a ship is not allotted sufficient time to complete a full Basic Phase following a CNO availability. * A tailored training plan will be established based upon the results from the READ-E3.

Question 24

What is Certification Extension?

Answer 24

Ships without a dedicated CNO availability between scheduled deployments remain in sustainment and will execute a certification verification to support extension.

Question 25

How does page 4-19 of the SFRM apply to Pacific Fleet and ships stationed in Rota Spain?

Answer 25

Specific guidelines for Forward Deployed Naval Forces(FDNF)

Question 26

What does the FDNF chapter delineate between FDNF and CONUS based ships?

Answer 26

* Due to less ships in FDNF, the OPTEMPO is higher * FDNF ships do not execute the notional FRTP Cycle. * Mission area certifications are set at 24 months periodicity vice 27 months in CONUS * All certification training and assessment events can be tailored * RAMP messages can be used to extend a certification beyond 24 months. (Explain how a RAMP is used with certifications)

Question 27

Are RAMP’s for both FRTP ships and FDNF ship’s?

Answer 27

No, because FRTP ship’s conduct a 27 month notional schedule, their certifications can be extended. RAMPS are only for FDNF ships.

Question 28

When do FRTP ships certifications get cleared?

Answer 28

1. When they enter the maintenance period. If they are extended in theater, their certifications will extend as well.

Question 29

What are the requirements for Hull Swaps/Crew Exchange

Answer 29

* Mission area certification move with the crew * Both crews will be fully certified on their current hulls * Post hull swap training will highlight the differences between the two ships (ships class) and provide specific mission area verification.
