Q

surface swimmer

A

normally deployed only to assist in MOB situations. THEY SHALL NOT ENTER CAPSIZED VESSELS. The coxswain will designate one of the crew a simmer, a swimmer should only be used when absolutely necessary because when a crew member goes over to assist it means additional person has to be picked up from the water. Another crew member must tend the line attached to the swimmer at all times

A

while completing the mission is secondary to ensuring the safety of the crew and passengers and boat, the coxswain may leave the boat if:

  1. in the coxswains judgment and after careful consideration of the remaining crew members experience, the operational benefits clearly out weight the risk of leaving the boat without a qualified coxswain
  2. when time permits every effort is made by the coxswain to receive the concurrence of the CO.

Info passes is prudent based on facts not opinion. The CG shall not provide course to steer, all info pass shall be logged. If there is any doubt of individuals safety, it shall be treated as SAR. I+
*Info we may pass: characteristics of lights, magnetic or true bearings between charted objects, charted range bearings, charted traffic separation scheme bearings, charted depths of water, charted hazards, radio beacon frequencies, charted buoy frequencies, LAT/LONG charted objects

will be initially treated as possible distress. A boat or aircraft will normally be dispatch to investigate and conduct an initial search area. Treat as PIW unless investigate efforts indicate to be an unlikely scenario. IT is not necessary to launch helo except when it will take more than a hour for a boat to be on scene or the investigation indicates the likelihood of a person overboard.
Case treatment- determined non distress remove vessel. attempt to locate owner by registration or HIN notify AOLE

Q

moment of inertia

A

occurs when a towed vessel resists effort to turn about a vertical axis to change heading. Unless necessary- DONT attempt to tow distressed vessel ahead and change its heading at the same time, less stress for both vessels when two forces are conquered individually

Q

shock loading

A

rapid, extreme increase in tension on the towline, which transfers through the tow rig and fittings to both vessels. Could damage fittings, part tow line, cause momentary loss of directional control by either vessel and could capsize small vessels. Puts strain on engine loads.
PREVENT- reduce speed, get boats in step, lengthen towline(catenary and more stretch) set course to lessen effect of seas, deploy drogue

Q

frictional resistance

A

water molecules friction cause the layers of water close to the hull to try to drag along. This attempt to drag water alongside takes energy, As speed increase , this action becomes “turbulent”- takes additional energy and more speed requires even more power

fluke- dig into bottom and burry the anchor, provides holding
crown- lifts rear of the flukes and forces the flukes into the bottom
stock- prevents anchor from rolling or floating

Q

state the effects of dynamic propeller thrust

A

the natural effects that the environment will cause on the thrust of propeller

216
Q

state the effects of unequal blade thrust

A

due to the angle of the propeller shaft the effective pitch angle is different for ascending and descending propeller blades. this creates more thrust resulting in more speed.

is the strength of the set and is expressed in knots “ drift is 1.5 kts” means the boat is being pushed in a given direction (set) at a speed of 1.5kts

222
Q

state the meaning of the word “set” as related to current and drift

A

is the direction of these forces and includes factors such as wind, current and sea condition, set is expressed in degrees

Q

5 nav standards

A

prior to underway coxn will: assure boat is properly outfitted
before evolution coxn check wx conditions
brief crew and do GAR / or anytime mission changes
ensure crew has proper PPE
1.PDW’s, BO kit, body armor are required at all times unless weapons waiver is granted by the CO
2.seat belts during RBTTP, over 30kts, excess of 500RPMs or 2200RPMs
3.helmet policy
4. mission complete, coxn ensures boat is refueled, cleaned, gear stowed, completely stowed, Discrepancies will be reported to department head and entered into ALMIS corrected ASAP.
5. minimum crews
RBM- 1 coxn 1 eng 1 BCM 1 additional BO/BTM
RBS- 1 coxn 2 BCM 1 additional BO/BTM
ENG or BCM can be BO or BTM, during boarding a min of 2 ppl shall remain on board, only qualified TCM may operate 240
6. HWX- defined as winds greater than 30kts continuous wave height of 8ft or greater, OR any combo of wind and seas that equal 30 (ex seas 4ft and winds 26kts)
7. when at anchor crew fatigue hours are decreased by 50%
NAV draft 6ft
-restricted water: less than 5000 yards from shoal water/ 10 min intervals
-coastal waters: greater than 5000 yards , less than 3nm from land fixed intervals of 15min
-open ocean: greater than 3nm from land/ fixed intervals 30 min activate plot(ie - seaman’s eye, chart plotter, paper chart wpts/routes, radar, fathometer, ect.)GPS failure: DRs shall be maintained as per the waters they are in.
