571-1.3 APPLICABILITY

571-1.3.1 The general discussion of underway replenishment is applicable to all ships.

571-1.3.2 Specific information is presented for delivery ships utilizing Fourth Generation or Navy Standard
equipment exclusively.

571-1.4 BACKGROUND AND DEFINITIONS

571-1.4.1 GENERAL. The objective of underway replenishment is to permit fleet units to remain at sea for
prolonged periods, fully ready to carry out any assigned task. Units of the Combatants Logistic Force are
equipped to replenish combatants underway with fuel, ammunition, provisions, stores, and spare parts to achieve
this goal.

571-1.4.2 REPLENISHMENT-AT-SEA OR UNDERWAY REPLENISHMENT (UNREP). The transfer of liq-


uid or solid cargo from one ship to another while underway.

571-1.4.3 CONNECTED REPLENISHMENT (CONREP). A transfer method that utilizes rigging connected
between two ships to transfer liquid or solid cargo between ships while underway.

571-1.4.4 VERTICAL REPLENISHMENT (VERTREP). A transfer method that utilizes helicopters to transfer
solid cargo between ships while underway.

571-1.5 UNREP SAFETY

571-1.5.1 Every shipboard evolution requires dedicated attention to the safety equipment and procedures
established. Personnel assigned to the transfer station shall be thoroughly instructed on the safety precautions and
shall review instructions immediately prior to each replenishment.

571-3
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

571-1.5.2 Observe operational safety requirements of NWP 4–01.4, NWP 3–04.1M, OPNAVINSTR 5100.2
and all equipment technical manuals.

571-1.6 UNREP STANDARDIZATION

571-1.6.1 Standardization in rigs and in their use assists ships in expeditious transfer of cargo. Although some
deviations from standard rigs may be necessary to conform with the design features of particular ships, these
deviations should be kept to a minimum.

571-1.6.2 If a delivery ship must make major adjustments to her rigs in order to accommodate nonstandard
installations on the receiving ship, transfer operations may be delayed. Should significant alterations be neces-
sary, Type and Fleet Commanders shall be advised immediately so that corrective action may be taken. Such
changes shall be incorporated into the ship’s plan.

SECTION 2.
LIQUID CARGO TRANSFER SYSTEMS

571-2.1 DEFINITIONS

571-2.1.1 LIQUID CARGO TRANSFER STATION. A CONREP transfer station, which is a combination of a
deck area and associated equipment, that provides a ship with the capability to receive or deliver liquid cargo
(fuel oil, aviation fuel or potable water) by means of a hose or hoses suspended from the rigging while under-
way.

571-2.1.2 STANDARD TENSIONED REPLENISHMENT ALONGSIDE METHOD (STREAM) TRANSFER


RIG. A rig that provides transfer capability of liquid cargo by wire rope connected between two ships under-
way, whereby the spanwire is automatically maintained within a constant tension range.

571-2.2 METHODS OF TRANSFER, ALONGSIDE

571-2.2.1 STREAM TRANSFER RIGS

NOTE

Methods of transfer are driven by rig availability and design characteristics of


both the delivery and receiving ships. Sea conditions and draft of the receiving
ship can also affect rig selection.

571-2.2.1.1 General. The STREAM liquid cargo transfer rig is the preferred rig. STREAM allows ships to open
out to a greater distance than is possible with other rigs, thereby minimizing the possibility of overtensioning the
spanwire and offering improved personnel safety. See Figure 571-2-1.

NOTE

Automatic tensioned spanwire winches are used on aircraft carriers, and


AMPHIBS. These winches will tension the single hose spanwire and are used
with a 240/300 foot rig.

571-2.2.1.2 Spanwire Rigging. The spanwire (3/4 or 7/8 inch steel wire rope) is rigged from the spanwire
winch through a ram tensioner, Anti-Slack Device (ASD), and an outrigger to the receiving station. The spanwire
supports the weight of the fuel hose assembly by way of the hose saddle trolleys. The ram tensioner or the ten-
sion spanwire winch regulates spanwire tension to maintain a proper catenary established to prevent dropping the
hose into the water. Regulating spanwire tension also prevents the possibility of overstressing the wire.

Figure 571-2-1. Fuel STREAM Rig - Single Hose with Probe

571-2.2.1.3 Saddle Whips. The wire saddle whips control the saddle position on the spanwire to maintain
smooth hose curvature as well as to retrieve the rig.

571-2.2.1.4 Rig Variations. The following rig variations are used for STREAM liquid cargo transfer:

a. Single Probe. This rig variation is the accepted standard for refueling all U.S. and NATO ships. The outboard
end connection of the 7-inch hose assembly is a self latching male end coupling designed to automatically
engage a receiver mounted on the receiving ship. See Figure 571-2-2.

b. Single Robb. This rig variation provides an alternative transfer means for U.S. ships not equipped with a
probe. The male end coupling on the fuel riser of the receiving ship and the female half on the 6- or 7-inch
hose end are manually coupled. Fiber rope lines (riding lines) are rigged to the hose assembly to prevent ten-
sion from developing in the hoses. See Figure 571-2-3.

c. Breakable Spool Coupling for NATO and SEATO Ships. This rig variation is an alternate to the standard probe
connection. The coupling is manually connected to the fuel riser on the receiving ship by tightening three
hinged bolts to the A-end coupling half. This coupling half is deeply grooved to form a shear ring which will
sever upon impact. In emergency situations, the coupling can be quickly separated from the fuel riser by strik-
ing the A-end coupling half with a sledge hammer. Riding line rigging for the breakable spool coupling is
similar to the Robb arrangement discussed in paragraph 571-2.2.1.4b, and illustrated in Figure 571-2-3.

d. Double Hose Combinations. Rig variations for STREAM liquid cargo transfer by double hose are as follows:
1 The double probe rig is used to transfer fuel from oilers to larger combatants (i.e., aircraft carriers,
amphibious ships) or for consolidation between oilers or tankers. The hoses are stacked vertically, as shown
in Figure 571-2-4, and rigged similarly to the single probe arrangement discussed in paragraph 571-2.2.1.4a.
2 Various combinations of hose and connections listed for the single hose rig can be passed in a double hose
arrangement. Consult NWP 4-01.4 for details.
3 The 7 inch over 2-1/2 inch hose arrangement may be utilized to transfer smaller quantities of another prod-
uct while connected by probe STREAM.

571-2.2.2 NON-STREAM TRANSFER RIGS

571-2.2.2.1 Non-STREAM Spanwire and Spanline. This rig is used on delivery ships that do not have equip-

571-7
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

ment to maintain a constant tension spanwire. The rigging is the same as STREAM. The drawback to the rig is
that the winch operator must manually regulate the spanwire catenary in response to ship roll and separation. The
spanline is similar to the spanwire rig; however, a fiber rope is used to support a 2-1/2 inch fuel hose. See Figure
571-2-5.

571-2.2.2.2 Non-STREAM Spanwire and Spanline Rig Variations. The following rig variations are used:

a. Spanwire Rig. This rig is used only in a single hose arrangement, with a probe, Robb, or breakable spool cou-
pling.

b. Spanline Rig. This rig is used to support the 2-1/2 inch hose rig.

571-2.2.2.3 Close-In Fuel Rig. In this rig, the hose is supported by saddle whips leading from each of three
hose saddles back to three saddle winches by way of blocks mounted on a high point located on the delivery
ship. The overall hose length of the rig is approximately 240 feet. The saddle whips are either 1/2 or 3/4 inch
wire rope or 3-1/2 inch circumference braided nylon. See Figure 571-2-6.

571-2.2.2.3.1 When fueling a ship larger than a destroyer, an additional line may be rigged from the outboard
saddle to a high point on the receiving ship. This line, referred to as the outer bight line, is either 4 inch circum-
ference double braided polyester or braided nylon.

571-2.2.2.3.2 Two riding line fittings are used in the hose assembly to secure it to the receiving ship. A
retrieving line (3-1/2 inch braided nylon) is attached to the riding line fitting closest to the #1 saddle.

571-2.2.2.4 Close-In Fuel Rig Variations. The acceptable rig hose end connections for the close-in rig are the
Robb coupling and the breakable spool coupling.

571-2.3 METHODS OF TRANSFER, ASTERN

571-2.3.1 The 2-1/2 Inch Astern Fuel Hose Rig. This rig is used to support fueling operations to small craft
that can not receive by the spanline method or are better suited at the time to take fuel in an astern configura-
tion due to towing operations. For details of passing, operating and retrieving the 2-1/2 inch astern fuel rig, con-
sult NWP 4-01.4.

571-2.3.2 The 6-inch Astern Fuel Hose Rig. A 6 inch hose is passed off the stern and retrieved by the receiv-
ing ship. The hose end connection is a slightly modified breakable spool coupling designed to float while tow-
ing the hose. See Figure 571-2-7. For further details on passing, operating, and retrieving the 6 inch astern fuel
rig, consult NWP 4-01.4.

571-2.4 LIQUID CARGO TRANSFER OVERVIEW

571-2.4.1 Passing a STREAM Rig. For simplicity, the following brief summary explaining the passing, oper-
ating and retrieving of a STREAM rig is presented to provide insight to the sequence of the principal steps of
connecting an alongside rig. For full detail or for non-STREAM rigs, consult NWP 4-01.4.

571-9
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

571-2.4.1.1 The delivery ship passes a shot line to the receiving ship. A messenger line is attached to the shot
line and is hauled over by the receiving ship either by hand or by winch. As an exception to this rule, the receiv-
ing ship will pass the shot line if:

a. The restricted space of the receiving station presents a hazard.


b. Aircraft are parked on deck of receiving ship.

Figure 571-2-7. Astern Fuel Rig (Lay-On Deck)


571-2.4.1.2 The spanwire and lead lines for the phone wires are attached to the messenger. When the messen-
ger comes aboard the receiving ship, lead lines are disconnected, and the station phone line and phone/distance
line are hauled over by the receiving ship and delivery ship respectively.

571-2.4.1.3 The receiving ship continues to haul over the messenger until the spanwire is aboard. The span-
wire is connected to a pelican hook, which is a quick acting latch. A fiber rope easing out line, secured to the
bulkhead, is then passed through the spanwire end fitting and stopped off to a cleat on the bulkhead.

571-2.4.1.4 The messenger is then slackened, and word is passed to the delivery ship to tension the spanwire.
For reference, the single hose rig spanwire tension is approximately 8,000 pounds; the double hose rig spanwire
tension is approximately 15,500 pounds.

571-2.4.1.5 Once the spanwire is tensioned, the receiving ship continues to haul over the messenger, thereby
pulling the hose assembly across the spanwire while the delivery ship pays out the saddle whip wire ropes. Proper
ram tensioner position is maintained either by the Automatic Ram Control (ARC) or manual control by the winch
operator.

571-2.4.1.6 The single probe is engaged manually into the receiver, and engagement is verified by the pop-up
flag on the receiver. Should the probe accidentally unseat, the internal probe valve will automatically close to
avoid spillage.

571-10
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

NOTE

The double probe is hauled in and mated by power (i.e., gypsy winch).

571-2.4.1.7 If a Robb or breakable spool rig is used, the end fitting is released from the messenger and the
riding line is attached to the riding line fitting. The riding lines are hauled in and secured when the end connec-
tion is coupled to the fuel riser.

571-2.4.1.8 The delivery ship sends over the messenger return line which is disconnected from the probe car-
riage or the riding line fitting, as applicable, and is attached to the messenger. The messenger is then returned.

571-2.4.2 OPERATING THE STREAM RIG. The saddle winch operator positions and maintains all saddles
for a smooth flow through the hoses. The retriever whip is slack to prevent any tension from developing on the
hose end connection.

571-2.4.2.1 The outboard saddle is tended to keep the hose out of the water, to prevent kinking of the hose at
the receiver, and to prevent excess strain on the hose and stress wires.

571-2.4.3 RETRIEVING THE STREAM RIG. After fueling is complete, the delivery ship stops pumping and
clears the hoses, then the receiving ship releases the probe, Robb or breakable spool.

571-2.4.3.1 The probe is tended out over the side by the remating line; the Robb or breakable spool is recon-
nected to the trolley and is tended out by the riding line. The delivery ship hauls in the hose assembly.

571-2.4.3.2 After detensioning, the receiving ship then releases the spanwire end connection and tends the
spanwire out over the side by the easing out line. The delivery ship retrieves the spanwire.

571-2.4.4 EMERGENCY BREAKAWAY. If in an emergency the two ships must separate, the fuel rigging must
be quickly disconnected. Consult NWP 4-01.4 for procedures to execute an emergency breakaway.

571-2.4.4.1 Conditions warranting emergency breakaway include:

a. Either ship experiences engineering casualty.


b. Enemy contact is reported and endangers force.
c. Aircraft carrier must deploy or receive aircraft in an emergency.
d. Casualty of UNREP equipment, which could result in tightlining.
e. A rig parting, which could result in fouling of a screw.
f. Man overboard where a ship and lifeguard station on a helicopter designated for lifeguard duty are not avail-
able.
g. Damage control casualty (i.e., fire, flooding).
h. Maneuvering situations to meet navigational or rules of the road requirements.

SECTION 3.
SOLID CARGO TRANSFER SYSTEMS

571-3.1 DEFINITIONS

571-3.1.1 SOLID CARGO TRANSFER STATION. A connected replenishment transfer station which is a
combination of a deck area and associated equipment that provides a ship with the capability to receive or deliver
solid cargo, mail, personnel, containerized oil, and containerized water while underway.

571-3.1.2 STANDARD TENSIONED REPLENISHMENT ALONGSIDE METHOD (STREAM) SOLID


CARGO TRANSFER RIG. A rig that provides transfer capability of solid cargo by wire rope connected
between two ships underway, whereby the highline is automatically maintained within a constant tension range.

571-3.2 METHODS OF TRANSFER

NOTE

Methods are driven by rig availability and design characteristics of both the
delivery and receiving ships. Sea conditions and receiving ship draft can also
affect selection. Consult NWP 4-01.4 for allowable transfer loads versus sea
conditions.

571-3.2.1 STREAM TRANSFER RIGS. The STREAM solid cargo transfer rig is the preferred rig. STREAM
minimizes the possibility of overtensioning the lines passed between ships, and allows ships to maintain greater
separation, thereby enhancing personnel and material safety. See Figure 571-3-1.

NOTE

To utilize cargo STREAM, the receiving ship shall have a receiving station
which has been statically tested to 50,000 pounds.

571-12
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

Figure 571-3-1. Missile and Cargo STREAM Rig (All-Tensioned Wires)

571-3.2.1.1 Highline. The highline (1 inch wire rope) is rigged from the highline winch through the ram ten-
sioner, an Anti-Slack Device (ASD), and transfer head to the receiving station. The tension in the highline, which
is applied by the ram tensioner, enables the highline to support the trolley and suspended load during the trans-
fer. The inhaul and outhaul wire ropes move the trolley and suspended load along the tensioned highline. The
inhaul wire rope (3/4 inch) fairleads from the inhaul winch through the transfer head and is attached to the trol-
ley. The outhaul wire rope (1/2 inch) is rigged from the outhaul winch through the ASD and a block on the king-
post outrigger. It is then rigged to the receiving ship which fairleads the wire back toward the delivery ship
through a Standard Underway Replenishment Fixture (SURF) and is attached to the trolley.
NOTICE: Only certified highline wire rope assemblies are authorized for use. Certified highlines are manu-
factured for the supply system to NAVSEA Drawing 6574325, and are available under NSN 4010–01–309–7439.

571-3.2.1.2 Inhaul and Outhaul. Tension control winches control the inhaul and outhaul lines. They maintain
tension in the wire rope between a minimum (1350-1500 pounds) and maximum (4500-5500 pounds) tension
value, as commanded. Increasing the tension in the outhaul moves the trolley toward the receiving ship; and con-
versely increasing the tension in the inhaul moves the trolley toward the delivery ship. If both the inhaul and out-
haul are at minimum tension, the trolley will tend to remain stationary at one position along the highline.

571-3.2.1.3 Transfer Head. The transfer head is a movable rigging point at the delivery station, which allows
loads to be attached or removed from the trolley, at the delivery station.

571-3.2.1.4 Rig Variations. The following rig variation is used for the STREAM solid cargo transfer rig:

a. Cargo STREAM with Hand Tended Outhaul. This rig is similar to the cargo STREAM rig, except that the
outhaul is a hand tended from the receiving ship and the delivery ship’s inhaul is operated in speed mode. See
Figure 571-3-2.

571-3.2.1.5 Consolidation Rigs. There are three possible rigs which can be used by two UNREP ships to con-
solidate cargo. See Figure 571-3-3. These rigs are as follows:

571-13
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

a. Standard Cargo STREAM Rig. This rig is described in paragraph 571-3.2.1 and illustrated in Figure 571-3-1.

b. Cargo STREAM with Receiving Ship Tensioned outhaul. The receiving ship’s inhaul is rigged through the
sliding block, attached to the outhaul side of the trolley, and operated in tension mode.

c. Cargo STREAM with Receiving Ship Non-Tensioned Outhaul. The receiving ship’s inhaul is rigged through
the sliding block, attached to the outhaul side of the trolley, and operated in speed mode. The delivery ship’s
inhaul remains in tension, and the trolley is controlled by the receiving ship’s inhaul.

Figure 571-3-2. STREAM with Hand-Tended Outhaul

571-14
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

Figure 571-3-3. Typical Consolidations

571-3.2.1.6 Heavy Lift STREAM. Heavy lift loads weigh between 5,700 pounds and 10,000 pounds. These
loads can be transferred to a sliding padeye by increasing ram tensioner air pressure to 2,250 pounds per square
inch gauge (psig) at a heavy lift STREAM station.

571-3.2.1.7 STREAM Load Lowering Method. For STREAM rigs, the wire rope fairleads to the load from
high points at the delivery and receiving stations. This ensures that the load will safely clear the deck and stay
clear of the water during transfer. The delivery station keeps the highline tensioned throughout the transfer cycle
to control the load. The load is raised from and lowered to the deck without detensioning the rig. The delivery
station raises and lowers the load by moving the transfer head up and down. One of the following three meth-
ods are used at the receiving station to lower the load after transfer:

a. Sliding Padeye Method. The function of the sliding padeye at the receiving station is similar to that of the
transfer head at the delivery station. Use of the method permits rigging with increased speed and safety at deck
level, gives constant load control throughout the transfer cycle, and allows the receiving station to return heavy
loads to the delivery station. The sliding padeye, which is attached to the highline, raises and lowers the load
while the rig remains tensioned. The padeye is lowered to bring the rig close to the deck so that the incom-
ing load can be easily detached. Raising the padeye to the up position allows the trolley to be hauled back to
the delivery station and also allows the load to clear the deck. It should be noted that normally only a cargo
hook is required on the trolley when the STREAM rig is connected to a sliding padeye receiving station.
However, some loads may require the use of a STREAM strongback. See Figure 571-3-4.
b. Cargo Drop Reel Method. The cargo drop reel is a device used to lower a load from a trolley on a tensioned

571-15
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

highline. Use of this transfer method does not provide the same degree of load control as the sliding padeye,
but it does allow the load to be lowered under the control of the receiving station. The delivery station pro-
vides the cargo drop reel and attaches it to the trolley. At the receiving station, the highline remains at a fixed
height above the deck and is attached to a fixed padeye, pendant or STREAM support leg. These attachment
points shall be designed and static tested to a minimum of 50,000 pounds. The MK II cargo drop reel has a
5,700 pound load capacity. In addition, the cargo drop reel can be used to raise loads of less than 150 pounds
for return to the delivery ship. See Figure 571-3-5.

c. STREAM Rig Tension/Detension Method. For a STREAM rig attached to a fixed padeye, pendant or support
leg, this method is used to transfer or return loads greater than the capability of the cargo drop reel. Cargo
return is accomplished by positioning the trolley over the return load, detensioning the highline, attaching the
load to the trolley, retensioning the highline, and returning the load to the delivery ship. For further details on
this method, consult NWP 4-01.4. This is not a preferred rig.

571-16
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

Figure 571-3-4. Sliding Padeye Receiving Station-Receiving the Load

571-3.2.1.8 Heavy Load Return (Cargo Drop Reel) with Threefold. Loads in excess of 150 pounds but less than
5,700 pounds can be returned by use of a threefold tackle provided by the delivery station. The delivery station
sends the SURF to the receiving station with the threefold shackled to the SURF’s padeye, and the trolley and
cargo drop reel hook extended. The receiving station returns the load by attaching the cargo drop reel hook to the
load and securing the threefold’s quick release hook to a shackle on the cargo drop reel hook. Line handlers at
the receiving station haul in on the threefold to lift the load as the cargo drop reel raises its hook. After the load
is raised, the threefold is released from the cargo drop reel hook. See Figure 571-3-6.

571-17
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

Figure 571-3-5. Cargo Drop Reel

571-3.2.2 NON-STREAM RIGS. Both burton rigs and fiber rope highline rigs are non-STREAM rigs.

571-3.2.2.1 Burton Rigs. When burtoning, both the delivery and receiving stations provide a whip to support
the load. The delivery station pays out its whip, and the receiving station hauls in its whip as they transfer the
load. The rigging will depend on the size and weight of the load, ship separation, and on the equipment avail-
able at the station. See Figure 571-3-7.

NOTE

For burton rigs, Fourth Generation hauling winches shall not be used. Further,
Navy Standard hauling winches shall not be used with weak-link end fittings.

Figure 571-3-6. Heavy Load Return Using Threefold

571-3.2.2.1.1 Maximum transfer load for single whip rigs is 6,000 pounds, and 12,000 pounds for double whip
rigs. However, winch capacity and ship separation will affect transfer load.

571-3.2.2.1.2 All attachment points shall be statically tested in a system level rigging to 50,000 pounds.

571-19
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

571-3.2.2.2 Fiber Rope Highline Rig. This rig is used for the transfer of personnel, light freight, and mail. See
Figure 571-3-8.

571-3.2.2.2.1 The highline is 4-inch circumference double braided polyester line, 350 feet in length. It spans
across to a padeye on the receiving ship from a high point block on the sending ship. The highline is hand-tended
by 25 men on the delivery ship to maintain tension.

571-3.2.2.2.2 The inhaul line is 3-inch circumference plaited polyester line and is hand tended by 10 men on
the delivery ship. The inhaul fairleads to a block near the highline block and is attached to the trolley.

571-3.2.2.2.3 The messenger leads the outhaul line across. The outhaul is 3-inch circumference plaited poly-
ester line connected to the transfer trolley and is hand tended by 10 men on the receiving ship.

571-3.2.2.2.4 The highline may be tensioned by a gypsy winch when transferring light freight and mail, if the
receiving ship’s highline padeye has been statically tested to 30,000 pounds. The maximum safe transfer load is
600 pounds.

571-3.3 SOLID CARGO TRANSFER OVERVIEW

NOTE

The details of passing, operating and returning a rig are thoroughly discussed in
NWP 4-01.4. However, a brief summary for cargo STREAM with STAR is pre-
sented herein.

571-3.3.1 STREAM WITH STAR RIG. STREAM with STAR (SURF, Traveling, Actuated Remotely) is the
preferred rig since it allows remote attachment and release of the SURF at the receiving station. It is also a pref-
erable rig to STREAM with traveling SURF, when the receiving ship does not have a sliding padeye or rigging
access platform near the attachment point.

571-3.3.2 PREPARING THE RIG. The following outlines the procedures for preparing the STREAM with
STAR rig:

a. Position and lock trolley capture arms on the sliding block transfer head to support the STREAM trolley dur-
ing connect-up.

b. Place the STREAM trolley in the capture arms.

c. Attach the inhaul to the STREAM trolley and reeve the highline through the trolley.

d. Install the cargo drop reel, cargo STREAM strongback, or cargo hook on the trolley.

e. Reeve the outhaul through the SURF and attach it to the trolley.

f. Assemble the STAR latch to the SURF and the STAR probe to the highline, as shown in Figure 571-3-9.

g. Cock both STAR latches by pushing the latches toward the SURF as shown in Figure 571-3-10.

h. Prepare STAR messenger as shown in Figure 571-3-11.

571-3.3.3 PASSING THE RIG. The following outlines the procedures for passing the STREAM with STAR
rig:

a. The delivery ship sends the shot line attached to the STAR messenger. For the exceptions to passing a shot
line refer to paragraph 571-2.4.1.1.
b. The receiving ship hauls in the shot line and messenger, until the lead line for the bridge-to-bridge phone/dis-
tance line comes aboard. The receiving ship then disconnects the lead line and moves it clear of the area. The
station-to-station phone line is disconnected from the messenger, establishing communication between the
ships. Using the lead line messenger, the receiving ship then sends the bridge-to-bridge phone/distance line to
the delivery ship.
c. With the inhaul winch in tension mode, the STREAM transfer head is raised, and the highline is hauled over
by messenger.
d. When the highline comes aboard, the pelican hook is attached to the long link on the pendant or padeye. The
easing out line is passed through the pelican hook’s long link and is secured to the bulkhead.
e. The highline is then tensioned, and the SURF with STAR assembly is pulled across until it latches onto the
STAR probe attached to the pelican hook. The outhaul is then tensioned and the trolley capture arms are
moved to the stowage position and locked. Proper ram tensioner position is maintained either by the Auto-
matic Ram Control (ARC) or manual control by the winch operator.

571-3.3.4 OPERATING THE RIG. The following outlines the procedures for operating the STREAM with
STAR rig:

a. The sliding block is lowered to pick up the load at the delivery station. With the load attached to the rig, the
block is raised while the winch operator increases inhaul tension to maintain the load on the transfer head.
b. After the sliding block is fully raised, the operator decreases the tension on the inhaul whip and increases the
tension on the outhaul whip. The load is then transferred to the receiving station.
c. Operators at the receiving station will either lower the sliding padeye or release the brake on the cargo drop
reel to lower the load.

571-3.3.5 RETRIEVING THE RIG. The following outlines the procedures for retrieving the STREAM with
STAR Rig:

a. The delivery ship retrieves the trolley until it makes contact (two-blocks) with the transfer head and the trol-
ley capture arms are swung forward to the support position and locked. The outhaul is then switched from
tension to speed mode and slackened.
b. The STAR latch assembly is released, and the STAR/SURF is retrieved by the delivery ship.
c. The highline is detensioned at the delivery station. The receiving ship trips the pelican hook, releasing the
highline and disconnecting the station-to-station phone line.
d. The delivery ship retrieves the highline and the station-to-station phone line. The receiving ship retrieves the
bridge-to-bridge phone/distance line.

571-3.3.6 EMERGENCY BREAKAWAY. For conditions warranting emergency breakaway, refer to paragraph
571-2.4.1. For emergency breakaway procedures, consult NWP 4-01.4.

EQUIPMENT

571-4.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

571-4.1.1 Section 2 and Section 3 presented the principal equipment and their function at the system level.
This section discusses the principal equipment at the component level.

571-4.1.2 Selected equipment presented herein are based upon their level of complexity. Therefore, detailed
discussions of all equipment utilized in CONREP operations is not practical.

571-4.2 WINCHES

NOTE

Only Fourth Generation and Navy Standard winches are addressed in this discus-
sion.

571-4.2.1 WINCH TYPES. The following identifies the two types of winches:

a. Electric (Direct Drive) Winch. This winch is usually driven by a multi-speed electric motor coupled directly
to a fixed ratio gear box. Typically this winch is used for saddle whip or line tending applications. See Figure
571-4-1.

b. Electric Hydraulic Winch. This winch is driven by an electric motor and utilizes a hydraulic transmission for
smooth, variable speed control. Typically this type of winch is used for spanwire, highline, cargo and inhaul
and outhaul applications. See Figure 571-4-2 and Figure 571-4-3.

571-26
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

Figure 571-4-1. Navy Standard Electric Winch

571-4.2.2. WINCH COMPONENT PARTS. All UNREP winches consist of a rugged bedplate upon which are
mounted a horizontal drum shaft, wire rope storage drums, reduction gear box, and an electric motor. Most
UNREP winches use a hydraulic transmission between the electric motor and reduction gear box to obtain vari-
able speed operation. All UNREP winches use a service (hydraulic or electric) brake. Most have a drum brake
and a ratchet and pawl for long term load holding. The winches may also include some or all of the following
components:

a. Gypsy Head(s) for handling fiber or wire rope.

b. Wire Rope Spooling System to provide proper spooling of wire on the drum.

c. Spring Tower and Tension Tower to cushion the shock resulting from accidental impact of the trolley on the
receiving ship; and to provide a tension feedback signal to the electronics on the Fourth Generation hauling
winches.

S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

Figure 571-4-2. Fourth Generation Electric-Hydraulic Winch

571-28
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

Figure 571-4-3. Navy Standard Electric-Hydraulic Winch

571-4.2.2.1 Electric Motor. The electric motor provides a synchronous speed of 1,200 or 1,800 RPM input to
the Navy Standard or Fourth Generation transmission, respectively. The Navy Standard 3-speed and 2-speed
saddle winch uses a 3-speed motor. Gypsy winches use a synchronous 2-speed motor to obtain high and low
speed operation of the winch.

571-4.2.2.2 Hydraulic Transmission. The hydraulic transmission contains a positive displacement pump and
motor, auxiliary pumps, and control valves which provide a smooth, flexible power drive system between the
winch electric motor and the reduction gear box to drive the winch drum. The winch operator uses the winch
master control handle to control the transmission, which controls the direction of the rotation and speed of the
drum shaft. Input and feedback controls for the transmission are mechanical on the Navy Standard and electronic
on the Fourth Generation transmissions.

571-4.2.2.3 Service Brake. The service brake is used to stop the winch drum and to hold a load when the winch
is used in cargo operations. The brake also provides a positive lock on the high speed shaft of the gear reducer
to prevent uncontrolled shaft movement when the winch control handle is at zero command. Service brakes are
either of the disc or drum type. All service brakes are spring set and electrically or hydraulically released. The
brakes are also equipped with a manual release.

571-4.2.2.4 Drum. The drum is a weldment with a barrel diameter and a length and flange diameter designed
to ensure that it will store rope of the size and length needed for the specific winch task. Where applicable, one
flange of the drum has a rim for the drum brake, the other flange incorporates the ratchet ring.

571-4.2.2.5 Jaw Clutches. Jaw clutches are provided on electric hydraulic winches to allow the disengagement
of the winch drum from the drive system. The drum clutch is provided with a positive locking device which keeps
the clutch engaged or disengaged.

571-29
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

571-4.2.2.6 Ratchet and Pawl. Each winch drum is provided with a ratchet and pawl, with the exception of the
Navy Standard 3 speed and 2 speed saddle winches and gypsy winches. The ratchet and pawl is a mechanical
device that is used only to relieve the winch hydraulic brake, when the winch is supporting a heavy load for an
extended period of time. A ratchet is welded to one outer flange surface of the drum to engage the pawl. The
pawl is heavily counterbalanced to fall out of engagement when the load on the pawl is relieved. The pawl is
locked in the disengaged position.

571-4.2.2.7 Drum Brake. A drum brake is installed on each drum to hold or control a load, or to hold one drum
stationary while the other is in use. This prevents unspooling of the rope when the drum clutch is disengaged.
Drum brakes are not installed on Navy Standard 3 speed and 2 speed saddle winches or on gypsy winches.

571-4.2.2.8 Drum Overload Clutch. Navy Standard highline, light spanwire, heavy spanwire, and cargo
winches, and some Fourth Generation inhaul winches are equipped with a drum overload clutch that is the driv-
ing member between the drum hub and the winch drum. The multiple disc drum overload clutch is tensioned by
a set of springs that apply pressure to the disc set. At a preset line pull or load on the winch wire rope, the clutch
allows the winch drum to slip from the drum hub. This prevents parting of wire ropes and excessive loading of
wire rope connection points. The drum overload clutch is set to slip at 140-160 percent of the winch’s rated load.

571-4.2.2.9 Air Clutch. The Navy Standard hauling winch uses air clutches as the tension control element
between the drive shaft and the two friction drums mounted to the winch drum. The amount of air pressure
applied to the air clutches depends on the amount of movement of the winch trolley direction control handle or
the position of the winch master station selector switch. The higher the air pressure in the air clutch tube, the
greater the line pull capability of the drum.

571-4.2.2.10 Wire Rope Spooling Systems. Wire rope spooling systems provide proper spooling of wire rope
onto the drum. The system winds the wire rope on the drum in level and consecutive lays with no gapping,
scrubbing, piling up, or pulling away at the drum flanges. The system consists of a grooved drum and a fleet angle
compensator. There are two types of fleet angle compensators:

a. The Non-Powered Fleet Angle Compensator. This compensator consists of a floating sheave that rides on a
chrome plated steel shaft. The shaft end caps, equipped with offset journals, are supported by pillow block
bearings bolted to the winch bed brackets. During winch operation, spooling of wire rope on or off the winch
drum causes the compensator sheave to rotate and slide axially on the shaft. As the sheave turns and slides to
one end of the shaft, line pull on the wire rope raises the end of the shaft while the other end of the shaft
lowers. The rotating floating sheave then gradually slides toward the lower end of the shaft where the shaft
rotation action is repeated. The raising and lowering of the shaft is caused by its eccentric mounting.
b. The Powered Wind Assembly. This assembly consists of a chain drive, cone drive assembly, level wind cam
assembly, and arm assembly. The chain drive transfers motion from the drum shaft to the cone drive assem-
bly. The cone drive assembly drives a cam assembly, which has a track in its surface. The level wind arm fol-
lows the track, with a cam follower, which swings the arm across the drum to evenly wind the wire rope on
the winch drum. The powered level wind assembly is only used on Fourth Generation hauling winches.

571-4.3 ANTI-SLACK DEVICES (ASD)

571-4.3.1 GENERAL. Anti-slack devices are used on highline, spanwire, outhaul, and some cargo winches.
The ASD maintains tension in the wire rope between the ASD and the winch drum. This prevents birdcaging of
the wire rope when the winch is operating with no load on the wire rope.

571-4.3.2 ASD TYPES. There are two types of ASD’s in use:

a. Squeeze Sheave Type. In this type, the wire rope is reeved through a powered sheave that is driven by an
electric motor air clutch or hydraulic motor. When the ASD is in operation, a squeeze mechanism clamps the

571-30
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

outer edges of the squeeze sheave to grip the wire rope. The squeeze sheave is made up of two flexible side
plates attached to a sheave sized to suit the wire rope. As the squeeze sheave is driven in the payout direc-
tion, it tensions (pulls) the section of wire rope between the ASD and winch drum. See Figure 571-4-4.
b. Pressure Roller Type. In this type, the wire rope is reeved through two hydraulic motor driven sheaves. There
are five hydraulically driven pressure rollers which force the wire rope against the power sheaves. The motor
driven sheaves then provide a pull to keep the wire rope tensioned. For illustration of a Fourth Generation
outhaul winch Pressure Roller ASD, see Figure 571-4-5.

571-4.4 RAM TENSIONER

571-4.4.1 GENERAL. The ram tensioner works in conjunction with the highline and spanwire winch to main-
tain a constant tension range in the highline and spanwire as ship separation varies. It is made up of a cylinder,
ram, piston, a flow control valve, upper and lower sheaves, a sump tank and an accumulator. The accumulator
contains a floating piston that separates the high pressure air and hydraulic fluid. The highline and spanwire is
reeved from the winch, around the upper and lower sheave assemblies, and to the attachment point on the receiv-
ing ship. The ratio between the wire rope tension and air pressure is approximately 10:1 (i.e., 1,950 pounds per
square inch equals 19,500 pounds tension) with the ram at mid-stroke. Any fluid that leaks by the ram cylinder
packing and leaks into the upper ram cylinder cavity, is returned to the sump tank through a low pressure drain.
Air that has accumulated in the top of the ram cylinder, as a result of defective seals or charging of the hydrau-
lic system, can be removed by manually opening the air bleed valve, which is located on the outside of the ram
cylinder. A hand pump is provided to pump fluid from the sump tank to the bottom of the ram cylinder for charg-
ing of the ram. See Figure 571-4-6.

NOTE

Only phosphate ester hydraulic fluid conforming with MIL-H-19457 Revision C

571-4.4.2 RAM PISTON AND CYLINDER ASSEMBLY. The cylinder assembly is a one piece unit on model
A ram tensioners and two pieces (upper and lower cylinder) on all other models. The assembly is an integral part
of the bedplate. The lower cylinder block contains a flow control valve, which regulates the flow into the cylin-
der from the accumulator.

571-4.4.2.1 The upper section of the cylinder also contains a stop assembly. The purpose of this assembly is
to stop (cushion) the ram if it is driven into the stop at high speed. During normal operation, the ram will not
come into the stop assembly, since the ram tensioner only contains enough fluid to bring the ram flange one foot
below the stop.

571-4.4.2.2 The ram piston fits inside the cylinder. As the ram extends and retracts during operation, it is
guided by bushings mounted inside the cylinder. The upper section of the cylinder contains a packing set and a
wiper ring. The packing set prevents the loss of hydraulic fluid, and the wiper ring prevents the entry of foreign
matter into the system. Any fluid that leaks past the packing is returned to the tank.

571-4.4.3 FLOW CONTROL VALVE. The flow control valve is installed in the lower ram cylinder block to
control the hydraulic fluid into the ram cylinder (i.e. ram extension rate). A check valve is installed parallel to the
flow control valve to provide for free flow out of the cylinder (unrestricted ram retraction speed). The flow con-
trol valve on model A ram tensioners is adjustable and non-pressure compensated. A pressure compensated (non-
adjustable) flow control valve is installed on all other models.

571-32
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

571-4.4.4 SHEAVE ASSEMBLIES. The sheave assemblies determine the wire rope take up capability of the
ram tensioner, 80 or 120 feet. The designation 80(120) means that 80(120) feet of wire rope is hauled in when
the ram fully extends, or pays out when the ram is fully retracted. There are two sheave assemblies.

571-4.4.5 ACCUMULATOR CYLINDER. The accumulator serves to convert pneumatic pressure into hydrau-
lic pressure.

571-4.4.5.1 Within the accumulator cylinder is a floating piston that separates the high pressure air from the
hydraulic fluid. Grooves in the piston contain bearing rings and a piston seal. High pressure air piping is con-
nected to the accumulator cap.

571-4.4.5.2 When the ram tensioner is charged, high pressure air is fed into the accumulator cylinder, the air
pressure pushes the piston down. As the piston moves down, hydraulic fluid is forced through the block at the
accumulator base and into the pipe to the ram cylinder. The accumulator piston is designed with a large projec-
tion at the bottom of the piston. The projection is about half the diameter of the piston and has a slightly tapered
tip. As the piston is forced toward the bottom of the accumulator, the projection on the piston starts down the
hydraulic fluid outlet hole in the accumulator. Since the diameter of the projection and the diameter of the out-
let hole are nearly the same, hydraulic fluid flow is cut off. This restricted flow occurs at the same time the ram
is nearing the top of its stroke and slows the rate of ram travel. This prevents the ram from being driven into the
stop assembly at a high rate of speed, if the ram is overcharged with fluid.

571-4.4.6 FLUID STORAGE TANK. The fluid storage tank is mounted on the bedplate, and serves three pur-
poses:

a. To receive any fluid that leaks past the ram packing set.

b. To receive any fluid lost while bleeding air from the ram cylinder.

c. To replenish hydraulic fluid to the system.

571-4.5 SLIDING BLOCK DRIVE SYSTEM

571-4.5.1 GENERAL. Sliding block drive systems are installed at cargo STREAM stations and include the
kingpost. sliding block, sliding block drive, and STREAM transfer head. The sliding block is driven by chains
or hydraulic piston up and down on a track inside the kingpost. Inside the sliding block and transfer head are
sheaves through which the highline and inhaul are reeved. Since the sliding block carries the transfer head, its
movement controls the vertical travel of the transfer head, highline, inhaul, trolley, and suspended load. See
Figure 571-4-7.

Figure 571-4-7. Sliding Block Drive System


571-4.5.2 SLIDING BLOCK DRIVE SYSTEM COMPONENT PARTS. The component parts of the sliding
block drive system include the transfer head, wire rope sheaves, the sliding block, the sliding block drive, and
limit switches.

571-4.5.2.1 Transfer Head. The transfer head is a weldment which is connected to the outboard face of the
sliding block by upper and lower vertical trunnion shafts. The trunnion shafts act as pivot points and permit fore
and aft movement of the transfer head. This compensates for station keeping variations between the sending and
receiving ship.

571-4.5.2.2 Wire Rope Sheaves. There are four or five wire rope sheaves located in the transfer head to fair-
lead the highline and inhaul through the transfer head. The highline sheaves are grooved for 1 inch wire rope,
and the inhaul sheaves are grooved for 3/4 inch wire rope.

571-4.5.2.3 Trolley Support and Stowage Arms. Trolley support arms are mounted on the sides of the transfer
head, to support the trolley while passing the STREAM rig. Latches are provided for each arm to allow them to
be locked in the open or closed position.

571-35
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

571-4.5.2.4 Sweep Brake. The transfer head is equipped with a sweep brake to prevent the head from swing-
ing fore and aft when the sliding block is not in use. The brake shoe is forced against a curved steel rim on the
sliding block. The brake is adjusted to provide sufficient drag force to prevent the transfer head from swinging
in an unrigged condition.

571-4.5.2.5 Sliding Block. The sliding block is a weldment on which the transfer head pivots and to which the
drive system is connected. Rollers align the block with the horizontal and vertical planes of the kingpost guide
rails. The sliding block is lowered close to the deck for rigging STREAM, raised to the top of the kingpost to lift
a load from the deck and transfer it, and lowered far enough to bring the empty cargo hook close to the deck for
picking up the next load.

571-4.5.2.6 Sliding Block Drive. There are two types of drive systems used on sliding blocks, lift chain and
electric motor and lift cylinder and hydraulic drive.

571-4.5.2.6.1 Lift Chain. Two chain sprockets are keyed to the drive shaft and one of two is keyed to the idler
shaft, both of which are supported by pillow blocks in the kingpost. Two lengths of chain (single or double strand
roller chain) are looped over the upper and lower sprockets and connected to equalizers at the top and bottom of
the sliding block. The chains are pretensioned during installation to ensure they do not jump a sprocket tooth
under load stretch. During operation, the drive sprockets rotate the lift chains to raise and lower the sliding block.

a. Electric Motor-Drive Chain Units. This system is composed of a two speed reversible electric motor coupled
to a gear reducer that uses a drive chain (four strand roller chain) to transmit power to the drive shaft and
drive sprockets. An electrically operated disc brake is provided to stop and hold the sliding block.
b. Electric Motor-Direct Drive Units. This system is composed of a two-speed reversible electric motor coupled
to a 90 degree worm drive gear reducer keyed directly to the drive shaft. An electrically operated drum brake
is provided to stop and hold the sliding block.
c. Electric Motor-Overload Clutch Units. This system is identical to the direct drive units with the exception that
the gear reducer is not connected directly to the drive shaft, but rather through the overload clutch. The over-
load clutch is the same as those found on Navy Standard highline and spanwire winches described in para-
graph 571-4.2.2.8. At a preset loading on the transfer head, the clutch allows the drive shaft to slip from the
gear reducer, preventing parting of the sliding block lift chains.

571-4.5.2.6.2 Hydraulic Lift Cylinder Drive. The hydraulic lift cylinder drive consists of the following:

a. Lift Cylinder. The hydraulic lift cylinder is a large double acting hydraulic cylinder mounted vertically through
several decks, which support the cylinder.
b. Bi-Directional Flow Control Valve. The cylinder is operated by hydraulic fluid supplied through the
bi-directional flow control valve, which is located on the lower end of the cylinder. The flow control valve
regulates the amount of fluid flow into and out of the lift cylinder.
c. Valve Panel. The direction of fluid flow into and out of the lift cylinder is controlled by the valve panel. The
panel consists of two pilot operated checks, a pressure switch which unloads the power unit when system
operating pressure is reached, and a directional control valve with integral meter out flow control orifices to
smoothly stop lift cylinder movement. The holding and stopping forces for the sliding block system are pro-
vided hydraulically through the valve panel.
d. The Hydraulic Power Unit. This unit consists of a fixed displacement hydraulic pump, a supercharging pump,
pressure controls, a hydraulic sump, and a bank of air-oil accumulators which supplies fluid power to the
hydraulic lift cylinder drive.

571-4.5.2.7 Limit Switches. Geared, proximity, or lever actuated limit switches are used to slow the sliding
block from full speed to creep when the block is approximately 24 inches before the full-up or fulldown position.
They stop the sliding block when the block is at the full-up or full-down position, approximately 6 inches before
the physical limit of travel. In addition, emergency lower and upper limit switches are installed to stop the slid-

571-36
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

ing block at one inch above and below the full-up and down position in case the full-up or full-down position
limit switch fails. Dimensions given in this paragraph may not be applicable to all installations, and the appro-
priate technical manual should be consulted for dimensions.

571-4.6 SLIDING PADEYE

571-4.6.1 GENERAL. The sliding padeye has a function at the receiving station similar to that of the sliding
block at the sending station. It raises and lowers the padeye where the highline is attached. It lowers the padeye
close to the deck, so that the incoming load can be easily detached. The padeye is raised to the up position to
return the trolley to the sending station. A sliding padeye at the receiving station permits rigging with increased
speed and safety at deck level, gives constant load control throughout the transfer cycle, and allows the receiv-
ing station to return heavy loads to the sending station. See Figure 571-4-8.

Figure 571-4-8. Sliding Padeye


571-4.6.2 SLIDING PADEYE TYPES. There are four types of sliding padeyes in use. All perform the same
function, but the interface with the ship’s structure differs.

a. The Bulkhead Mounted Sliding Padeye.


b. The Retractable Sliding Padeye which is stowed in a trunk in the forward and aft sections of the ship and is
erected when required. This type of padeye can be rigged to accept a STREAM rig from either the port or
starboard side of the ship.

571-37
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

c. The Overhead Mounted Sliding Padeye which is hinged from the carrier’s hangar deck overhead and is pinned
in the horizontal position when not in use. The kingpost is lowered to the vertical position through rigging
payed out by an electric winch and pinned in place in the vertical position.
d. The Deck Mounted Sliding Padeye which is mounted to the deck in the forward and aft sections of the ship
and is supported by backstays. This type of padeye can be rigged to accept a STREAM rig from either the
port or starboard side of the ship.

571-4.6.3 SLIDING PADEYE COMPONENT PARTS. The sliding padeye consists of a box column, carriage
assembly, ball screw assembly, electric motor, brake system, limit switches, and a manual drive.

571-4.6.3.1 Box Column. The box column consists of two rectangular section tubular steel columns, which are
fastened by four tie plates. Motor covers further stiffen the structure. The box columns on the bulkhead mounted
sliding padeye are secured to the ship’s structure at four mounting points. The box columns are mounted in a
vertical trunk which is welded to the ship’s structure on the retractable sliding padeye. The overhead-mounted
sliding padeye is hinged from the carrier hangar bay overhead. A ladder is provided to allow access to the upper
components.

571-4.6.3.2 Carriage Assembly. A carriage assembly, to which the highline is attached, travels vertically
between the kingpost columns. The ball nut, which transforms ball screw rotation into vertical motion, is secured
in the carriage assembly. The STREAM adapter is secured to the upper and lower flanges of the adapter. The
guide rollers ride on two tracks to guide the carriage assembly.

571-4.6.3.3 Ball Screw Assembly. Thrust required for vertical motion of the carriage assembly is transmitted
by way of a motor driven ball screw assembly, consisting of a right-hand thread lead screw and ball nut. The ball
nut provides a circulating path for a complement of ball bearings and converts the rotary motion of the screw to
vertical thrust.

571-4.6.3.4 Electric Motor. The driving torque for the system is provided by a single or dual speed reversible
electric motor.

571-4.6.3.5 Brake System. The brake system consists of a watertight spring set solenoid released disc type
brake mounted on the electric motor. The brake automatically sets when electrical power is removed. A manual
release is provided.

571-4.6.3.6 Limit Switches. Lever actuated limit switches are provided at the upper and lower limits of car-
riage travel, to stop the electric motor, and prevent carriage overtravel.

571-4.6.3.7 Manual Drive. Manual operation of the carriage assembly is provided for emergency operation of
the carriage. This is provided through a spur gear reducer driving a worm gear keyed to the ball screw. When the
manual drive is engaged, an interlock is actuated to prevent powered operation.

571-4.7 PROBE FUELING SYSTEMS

571-4.7.1 GENERAL. Probe fueling systems are used to transfer liquid cargo and consists of two major sub-
systems. The delivery subsystem is carried on the delivery ship, and the receiving subsystem is carried on the
receiving ship.

571-4.7.2 PROBE FUELING SYSTEM TYPES. There are two types of probe fueling systems: the Single
Probe Fueling System and the Double Probe Fueling System.

571-38
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

571-4.7.2.1 Single Probe Fueling System. This system consists of the following:

a. Single Probe Assembly. This assembly is attached to the delivery ship’s hose and consists of a trolley carriage,
tube, and a probe. The trolley carriage is hinged so that it can be rigged to the spanwire without disassembly
of parts. The carriage and tube serve to support the hose and probe from the spanwire and provide a means
of connecting the fuel hose to the probe. The probe has a latching mechanism that holds the probe in the
receiver by spring force. The probe also has a built-in sliding sleeve valve that opens on proper engagement
with the probe receiver and automatically closes upon disengagement during fuel transfer. A line pull of about
300 pounds on the messenger or remating line is required to engage the probe in the receiver. A designed line
pull of 2,500 pounds on the retrieving line will disengage the probe from the receiver. See Figure 571-4-9

b. Single Probe Receiver. The single probe receiver is mounted on the receiving ship and consists of a swivel
arm assembly, the receiver, and a manual release lever. A pelican hook, used as the spanwire attachment point,
is an integral part of the swivel arm assembly. The receiver is mounted on the swivel arm, which keeps the
receiver directly in line with the spanwire and probe during engagement. The manual release lever can be
mounted on either the forward or aft side of the receiver to suit station configuration. Latch indicator flags,
mounted on either side of the housing, indicate when the probe is fully engaged in the receiver. When the
probe is engaged, the flags are in the raised position, when the probe is disengaged, the flags are in the stowed
position.

571-4.7.2.2 Double Probe Fueling System. This system consists of the following:

a. Double Probe Assembly. The double probe assembly consists of two probe and tube assemblies positioned one
over the other and supported by a trolley block assembly. Each tube and probe assembly for the double probe
is identical to and interchangeable with the single probe. Each probe operates independently for alignment
with receiver. The lower probe is mounted by two lower hangars to a runner assembly. This provides the
means to manually retract the lower probe into a lock position. When the lower probe is in the retracted posi-
tion the double probe assembly can be used to service a single probe receiver by use of the upper probe. An
integral inhaul link serves as an attachment point for an inhaul messenger which permits the receiving station
to haul-in the probe assembly until it mates with the double probe receiver and also to pay out the double
probe assembly after disengaging from double probe receiver. See Figure 571-4-10.

b. Double Probe Receivers. The double probe receivers are bolted together with a fixed distance of 19 inches
between centers. During operation they are held in position and aligned with the probes by the tension of the
spanwire, which is attached to a pelican hook and bail at the top of the receiver. The two receivers are nearly
identical, differing only in the direction of the receiver hose outlet and the side on which the manual release
lever is installed. Each receiver assembly consists basically of a bellmouth, housing, and manual release lever.
The manual release lever, mounted on each housing, provides the means for manually disengaging the probe
from the receiver after the completion of the fueling procedure. Metal flags, mounted on opposite sides of the
housing, automatically rise up to indicate when the probe is properly engaged. A fairlead hole is provided
between the two receivers for the inhaul line. See Figure 571-4-11.

571-4.8 CONTROL STATION

571-4.8.1 GENERAL. Liquid and solid cargo STREAM stations are equipped with several pieces of equipment
that must work together for proper system operation. To ensure coordinated equipment operation, the controls and
indicator lights for the equipment are located in a centralized location in the control station. The liquid cargo
STREAM control station contains the controls for the spanwire and saddle winches and a Ram Position Indica-
tor (RPI) or Automatic Ram Control (ARC). The solid cargo STREAM control station contains the controls for
the sliding block, highline and hauling winches and a Ram Position Indicator (RPI) or Automatic Ram Control
(ARC). A typical Navy Standard liquid cargo STREAM station and a Navy Standard solid cargo STREAM sta-
tion are shown in Figure 571-4-12 and Figure 571-4-13, respectively.

571-4.8.2 NAVY STANDARD SPANWIRE and HIGHLINE WINCH CONTROLS. The winch master control
is a mechanical device that transforms the movement of the control handle into a push-pull movement of the
controlex (push-pull) cable blade. This push-pull movement of the cable blade is transformed to a rotary motion
by the slave operator, mounted on the winch transmission, to command winch speed and direction.

571-43
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

571-4.8.3 FOURTH GENERATION SPANWIRE AND HIGHLINE WINCH CONTROLS. The winch master
control is an electrical device that converts the position of the control handle into an electrical speed command
signal. Feedback signals describing the hydraulic transmission output (pump hanger position) are compared with
the desired output, as indicated by the command signal. The result of this signal comparison is sent to the pump
electro-hydraulic servo valve, which controls transmission speed and direction.

571-4.8.4 NAVY STANDARD HAULING WINCH CONTROLS. The master winch operator has two spring
centered control handles, one labeled ″SPEED″ and one labeled ″TROLLEY DIRECTION″, and a drum selec-
tor switch. The speed control is identical to the control described in paragraph 571-4.8.2, with handle detents at
half and full speed haul-in. The trolley direction control handle is connected by a second push-pull cable system
to the air control slave operator. With the drum selector switch in the ″BOTH DRUMS ON″ position, the winch
operator uses the trolley direction control handle to control the air pressure in the inhaul and outhaul air clutches,
described in paragraph 571-4.2.2.9.

571-4.8.5 FOURTH GENERATION HAULING WINCH CONTROLS. With the mode switch at the master
speed position, the winch control operates identically to the control described in paragraph 571-4.8.3. When the
mode switch is moved to the tension position, handle position corresponds to a tension command. The electron-
ics compare the command to the feedback (tension tower sheave position). The result of this signal comparison
is sent to the pump electro-hydraulic servo valve, which will vary pump stroke to obtain the desired tension level.

571-4.8.6 SLIDING BLOCK CONTROLS. The sliding block master control consists of a control handle or
foot operated switches. The handle or switches operate in conjunction with the electric motor controller or
hydraulic valve solenoids, to control the speed and direction of the sliding block.

571-4.8.7 NAVY STANDARD 3-SPEED AND 2-SPEED SADDLE WINCH CONTROLS. The saddle winch
master control provides three speeds in the payout direction and two speeds in the haul-in position.

571-4.8.8 NAVY STANDARD AUTOMATIC RAM CONTROL (ARC). The ARC consists of a sending unit,
which is mounted on the ram tensioner, circuit control logic ram position indicator, and an Automatic Ram Con-
trol Valve mounted on the Navy Standard Transmission. The system can be turned to the automatic mode after
the highline and spanwire is tensioned and the ram is within the normal operating range. In automatic mode, the
ARC will command the winch to pay out or haul-in wire rope to keep the ram at mid-stroke position.

571-4.8.9 RAM POSITION INDICATOR. The ram position indicator consists of a sending unit, mounted on
the ram tensioner, and a position indicator mounted in the control station. The indicator displays the position of
the ram.

571-5.1.6 TEST RECORDS. Upon completion of load and no-load tests, test data shall be recorded on a Test
Data Sheet. All tests shall be witnessed by, and the test record shall be signed by, both a test facility witness and
a ship’s force witness. A record of each test shall be maintained by the test activity. The test activity shall pre-
pare and permanently install test label plates on all tested equipment, listing the test, test load, test activity, and
date of all tests conducted. It is not necessary to conduct periodic static and dynamic tests of fuel and cargo sta-
tions, provided that inspections are conducted before each use, and that load test records or test label plates of
the last static and dynamic tests are maintained on board.

571-5.2 EQUIPMENT AND RIGGING TEST REQUIREMENTS

571-5.2.1 PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION. A thorough inspection of the foundation, surrounding, and


backing structure shall be conducted prior to installation. The following procedures shall be followed:

a. Check new equipment foundation and backing structure against installation drawings for proper arrangement
and location.
b. Examine weld areas and bolt holes for evidence of deformation or failure. Examine holes of body bound bolts
closely for evidence of cracking or deformation.
c. Examine backing structure, foundation, and surrounding area for evidence of corrosion. Deteriorated areas that
are considered acceptable structurally shall be cleaned and preserved. Other deteriorated areas not acceptable
structurally shall be repaired as required, and preserved.
d. Inspect foundation pad surfaces and ensure that they are flat in one plane within ± .010 inch of reference
datum.

571-5.2.2 POST-INSTALLATION INSPECTION AND FUNCTIONAL TEST. A visual inspection and a brief
operational demonstration shall be conducted to determine the general condition of the reinstalled equipment.
Demonstrating operation, interlocks, limits, and safeties at this time may reveal discrepancies prior to load test-
ing, thus precluding retest after repair.

571-5.2.2.1 General. The following procedures shall be performed for the post installation inspection and func-
tional test:

a. Confirm foundation mounting bolts and nuts are as specified on the installation drawing.

571-46
S9086-TK-STM-010/CH-571R3

b. Inspect all equipment foundations for proper bolting (i.e. all bolts installed and properly tightened with one
to five threads exposed beyond nut). Bolts or nuts that are prone to loosening shall be replaced with self
locking type.
c. Inspect all existing or test rigging and ensure they meet satisfactory conditions. NSTM Chapter 613 may be
consulted for inspection guidance.
d. Gear case oil shall be checked against the criteria specified in the equipment technical manual.
e. Inspect equipment and ensure that it has been properly lubricated in accordance with the appropriate techni-
cal manual.
f. Inspect the equipment foundation, surrounding area and backing structures for evidence of failure, deforma-
tion, or corrosion. Paragraph 571-5.2.1.d shall be consulted for guidance on corrosion.
g. If a flexible coupling(s) was disturbed or if the entire piece of equipment was removed and reinstalled, inspect
the axial (peripheral) and angular (facial) alignment. Inspect alignment pins to ensure that they have been
installed on motors and pumps as required.
h. Inspect electrical equipment controllers for proper size control fuses and overload heaters, clean contacts on
relays, integrity of wire insulation, proper sealing of stuffing tubes, and proper dressing of wiring. Also
inspect the controllers to ensure that they are clean and that their housings do not contain any open penetra-
tions. Accurate wiring schematics shall be provided with controllers and, if possible, installed in the control-
ler cabinet.
i. With all motors connected to their controllers, inspect the cold insulation resistance of the motors using a 500
V megohmmeter. Adjust the insulation resistance values to 255 C using a nomograph in accordance with
NSTM Chapter 300 . Minimum acceptable value shall be 4.0 megohm. If the reading is less than 4.0, the
motor shall be disconnected from the controller and the readings then checked. For isolated new or rewound
motors, the minimum acceptable value shall be 25 megohms. For isolated shop cleaned motors, the minimum
acceptable value shall be 2.0 megohms and 1.0 megohms for motors cleaned shipboard. Motors with read-
ings between 0.2 and 1.0 megohm may be operated with close monitoring during operation. If moisture is
present and is lowering the reading, the motor should dry during operation and shall rise above 1.0 megohm.
Otherwise, the motor shall be scheduled for cleaning and repair at the first opportunity. Isolated new or
reconditioned controllers shall have insulation resistance readings of not less than 10 megohms. Power cables
and control lines shall not be less than 1 megohm except for twisted pair lines which shall be at least 50,000
ohms.
j. Inspect hydraulic oil fluid level in accordance with the applicable equipment manual.
k. Verify that permanently installed gauges are within current calibration.
l. Verify that air flasks have a current certification and are properly preserved with no evidence of corrosion or
pitting. Consult NSTM Chapter 551 for details.

4 Slowly open the drain valves at the bottom of the flasks and ensure that no contamination (water, hydrau-
lic oil) is present. Close the drain valves.
5 Disconnect tubing from discharge of the hand pump, and attach a piece of flexible hose to the tubing. Place
free end of hose in a pail of water.
6 Close the air dump valve and slowly open the ram shut-off valve.
7 Monitor the hose end in the water for ten minutes. A steady stream of air from the hose indicates a seal
leak.
b. In-Service Accumulator Seal Test. This test demonstrates that the air flasks contain no oil contamination, all
indicators and gauges function properly, wire rope sheaves rotate freely, and the ram consistently runs to
proper height. For in-service accumulators, the following procedures shall be performed:

4 Start the winch, close the air dump valve, and slowly open the ram shut off valve.
5 Slowly pay out wire from the winch while continuing to open the charging valve. Allow the ram piston to
extend to its full-up position; allow wire to become slackened.
6 Slowly open manual air bleed valve until it is fully open; observe sight glass for a minimum of 30 seconds
or until fluid that is clear of air bubbles appears; then shut the air, bleed valve. If air continues after one
minute, perform a leakage test as covered by the maintenance requirement cards.
7 After ram has been bled, measure the distance between the same two points established in paragraph
571-5.2.2.6.b.3. On 80 foot models, the ram travel shall be between 12 feet 2 inches and 12 feet 6 inches.
On 120 foot models, the ram travel shall be between 13 feet 8 inches and 14 feet.
8 Cycle the ram tensioner for ten cycles monitoring the ram position indicator, ram position transmitter, HP
air gauges and wire rope sheaves.
9 After the last cycle, extend the ram fully and slacken the wire. Allow ten minutes to elapse and measure the
ram extension again. If the ram stroke has increased, the accumulator piston seals are leaking. If the ram
stroke has decreased, there is a hydraulic fluid leak.
c. Control systems. For ram tensioners equipped with ram position indicators or automatic ram control, cycle the
ram through two full extensions to demonstrate proper function of controls in accordance with equipment
manual.

be in accordance with Federal Specification RR-W-410 (Type I, Class 3, 6 x 37 Warrington Seale, extra-
improved plow steel, independent wire rope core, uncoated, preformed, right regular lay).
d. Fiber rope shall not be used to support static loads.
e. Oversized test wire rope may cause damage to gypsy heads, sheave grooves, and grooved winch drums.
Therefore, they must be adequately protected with dunnage.
f. Static loads shall be applied for ten minute durations.
g. Static testing of one component in a system rigging does not necessitate a full rigging test. The most prudent
method of rigging shall be imposed by the test engineer based on the work package.
h. Equipment shall be rigged as to ensure that operating angles are the same as in service.
i. Testing of individual blocks does not necessitate shipboard rigging. Blocks shall be tested to 200 percent Safe
Working Load (SWL). The fairlead padeyes or attachment points shall also be tested to 200 percent SWL in
the resultant load direction. However, relocated blocks must be rigged to adjacent blocks or equipment and
load tested to verify new working angles and stresses.
j. The service brake shall not be misadjusted solely to hold the static test load. If during subsequent tests, the
brake shows evidence of misadjustment, the brake shall be readjusted properly and retested statically to verify
brake operation.
k. Tolerance on test loads shall be ± 3 percent of calculated values.
l. The Drum Band Brake Test shall be conducted from the top layer. All other winch load testing shall be con-
ducted on the average layer. For Navy Standard and Fourth Generation winches, the average layer is the third
layer, and the top layer is the fifth layer. Tests may be conducted on different layers from those specified, but
the test load must be adjusted to suit.
m. The ram tensioner need not be rigged with the test wire through the upper and lower sheave blocks when
testing any of the associated delivery station equipment. The test wire may be rigged directly through the
lower sheave block to attain in service rigging angles. However, if the ram tensioner is to be tested statically,
the ram shall be in the fully retracted position.

APPENDIX G.

ACCEPTED METHODS FOR STATIC LOAD TESTING

1. Test Weight (Figure 571-G-1) - The test wire shall be rigged through a test block attached to the crane (with
a preventer to the crane to keep the block vertically straight). The crane shall hoist the test block to develop
the desired angle in the test wire (if applicable). The equipment shall not be used to lift the test load. A free
hanging weight can move to accommodate ship’s movement (or floating crane movement) thereby maintain-
ing proper line tension. This method shall be used whenever a remote source (e.g. crane) is required to estab-
lish proper testing angles. Methods shown in Figure 571-G-2 shall not be used.

2. Dynamometer with Separate Load Source (Figure 571-G-3) - This technique may be used when testing
winches (without rigging entire system), deck fittings, padeyes etc. Equipment shall not be subjected to static
loads at angles beyond the normal working range to facilitate the use of this method. The dynamometer and
load source must be secured to a suitably tested hull fitting on the ship in the vicinity of the equipment tested.
Dynamometers shall not be attached to any point outboard of the ship nor shall any component in the test rig-
ging come in contact with or be attached to any structure detached from the ship when a dynamometer and
load source is attached to the ship.

3. Calibrated Load Source - This device (e.g., hydraulic jacking cylinder) is to be the same limitations as method
2.
4. Moment Arm - A moment arm may be attached to the drive shaft of a winch drum (remove gypsy head or
cover) and a load applied to the moment arm via a calibrated load source or dynamometer with a load source.
This would require a test padeye located to suit the moment are. The torque shall be equivalent to the result-
ant of the required test load and layer radius.
