The mooring design should be reviewed for possible improvements and redesign of the cathodic protection and sinker systems. After completion of this design review, the mooring should be overhauled, the Di-Lok chain replaced wtih stud link, and the design changes incorporated.

CHESNAVFACENGCOM designated an Engineer-in-Charge (EIC) tp provide inspection planning and on-site technical direction for the underwater inspection of fleet moorings located at the Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Earle, New Jersey. The actual underwater portion of the inspection was performed by divers of Underwater Construction Team One (UCT 1). A total of three fleet moorings are currently operated and maintained by NWS Earle. The purpose of the mooring inspections is to determine the general physical condition of the buoys and chain assemblies and, when possible, to verify or update existing as-built and maintenance records. Divers inspect only a portion of the submerged buoy hull and chain assemblies in order to compile a general description of the mooring's condition. The existence of fairly consistent measurements during his inspection provides a good indication of the mooring's overall condition.

This mooring consists of bow and stern buoy systems. In the bow mooring buoy system, the buoy is in poor condition and should be overhauled or replaced. The stern buoy system is in good condition. Specific comments concerning the current condition of the mooring is contained herein. The purpose of the mooring inspection was to determine the general physical condition of the buoys and chain assemblies and, when possible, to verify or update existing as-built and maintenance records. Divers inspected only a portion of the submerged buoy hull and chain assemblies in order to compile a general description of the mooring's condition. The existence of fairly consistent measurements during this inspection provides a good indication of the mooring's overall condition. It should be kept in mind that periodic underwater inspections are intended as an expedient and relatively inexpensive supplement to accurate maintenance records. As such, they cannot fully substitute for a complete inspection involving recovery of the mooring and the measurement and evaluation of each component.
