DC 306 Flashcards
what is the keel?
Backbone of the ship, all other steel parts are attached to the keel either directly or indirectly.
what is the frames?
Frames are attached to the keel, and are known as longitudinal frames.
What is a hull plate?
hull plate is fastened to the framework in longitudinal rows called strakes. Keel is the center strake.
What is Decks?
Floors of the ship are called decks. Divide the ship up and provide addition hull strength.
What is a bulkhead?
Interior of a ship is divided up into vertical compartments called bulkheads.
what is a common type of closure used for routine passage and access or egress into superstructure from wx decks, main passage or manned spaces?
Quick acting watertight door Ex; door leading to machine shop on 175’
what watertight door are either 4 6 8 10 or 12 dogged and provide access or egress to high usage places, which do not require rapid access?
Individually dogged WT doors- door leading to bridge of 110’
what are installed in interior or exterior where rapid access/egress is not required and usually found in low traffic are?
Raised WT Hatch ex; fwd of 65
What hatch is installed with interior and exterior areas where rapid access/egress are required?
Raised WT hatch with scuttle
Explain the method of compartment use?
Maindeck is 1 above main is 2 and so on
Below maindeck is 01 and so on
1 is for stbd and 2 is for port
Define Watertight integrity?
Door that is suppose to prevent water intrusion by all means.
What is X ray?
lowest degree set when ship is in no danger, inport or in well protected harbor.
What is yoke?
set and maintained at sea, entering or leaving port during peacetime, inport during peacetime
what is zebra?
Set during General quarters, or any time the ship is in danger.
what is modified yoke?
reduced during normal working hours at sea in good visibility and peacetime cruising.
what is circle x ray and circle yoke?
assigned to fitting that may be opended wo special permission by personnel proceeding to battle station, or routine inspection.
what is circle zebra?
Commanding Officer may authorize Circle ZEBRA closures and fittings to facilitate the feeding of the crew and to allow the use of selected sanitary space.
what is dog zebra?
Dog ZEBRA closures and fittings are required to be closed when material condition ZEBRA is set or during periods of darken-ship,
what is designation Willam (W)
which serve vital piping and ventilation systems, are classified WILLIAM.
what is circle william
These fittings are required to be closed only to prevent damage or for CBR defense.
What is modified zebra?
is less restrictive than ZEBRA and more readily allows the accomplishment of certain operational requirements.
what is dc closure log and max time a fitting can be left open?
is a record of the status of damage control classified closures and fittings. It is used to record the Cutter’s condition of Material Readiness and list violations, locked fittings and inoperable fittings.
DC Closure Log is normally kept on the quarterdeck inport, on the bridge at sea, and in Damage Control Central (DCC) during General Quarters (GQ) and General Emergency (GE). The DC Closure Log is maintained at all times,
When the ship is not manning the General Quarters (GQ) stations, permission to change the material condition of readiness must be obtained through:
- Damage control central (DCC) watch
* Officer of the deck (OOD)
what is a CCOL?
They provide an itemized list and location of all damage control classified fittings, and are used by personnel responsible for setting of material conditions of readiness.
Primary Fire Boundary
This area includes the bulkheads, deck, and overhead closest to and surrounding the fire
Secondary Fire Boundary
The secondary fire boundaries are set if the fire spreads past the primary fire boundary.
Primary Smoke Boundary
smoke boundary nearest the fire is designated as the primary smoke boundary and normally coincides with the primary fire boundary
Secondary Smoke Boundary
second smoke boundary that is located farther away from the fire.
Buffer Zone
The area between the inner and outer smoke boundaries established for a Class B fire in a machinery space.
what constitutes a fire boundary
Any physical barrier can be a fire boundary. Fire boundaries are generally set at fire zone bulkheads or watertight subdivisions, and at decks above and below the fire.
What constitues Smoke Boundaries?
Closed doors and hatches that lead to the fire space normally constitute a smoke boundary. Smoke curtains and smoke blankets are also positioned on doors and hatches.
What constitutes a flooding boundary?
A flooding boundary is established by first locating the bulkheads and decks that are dry and likely to remain dry. This normally constitutes a flooding boundary.
Primary flooding boundaries are the first set of watertight bulkheads and their closures. Secondary flooding boundaries are the next set of watertight bulkheads and their closures.
State the reason for establishing proper fire/flooding boundaries?
Fire boundaries help prevent the spread of fire.
Flooding boundaries help prevent the ship from taking on more water, with a subsequent loss of buoyancy and stability. Flooding boundaries help avoid progressive flooding and collapsing bulkheads.
How Pressure Affects the Rate of Flooding ?
As water pressure increases, a greater amount of water enters the ship until the level of the water in the flooded compartment reaches the level of the hole. Thereafter, the pressure decreases. As water is received into the hull, the ship settles and the hole is further submerged.
