Each PTR is individually investigated, and a response is provided to the originator, and other applicable ships. Ships are to maintain a file/record of PTRs submitted and PTR responses received applicable to that ship's software and system. Near term resolution to a valid PTR will result in a work-around, if available, and promulgation to other users in the Version Description Document (VDD), equivalent section of the System Level Technical Manual (SLTM), or Total Combat System Information Newsletter (TOCSIN). The fleet benefits from PTR analysis and response through eventual software program updates.

The abbreviated checkoff list shall be prepared for use by the department head by deleting inapplicable items, and submitted to the Commanding Officer for approval. 2. Pre-underway checkoff lists should include the following: a. Performance and operational checks to verify that equipment assigned to a division is fully operational, and systems are lined-up to support at sea operations. This should include, at a minimum, PMS pre-underway situational MIP/MRC, which should be listed on the pre-underway checkoff list. b. Determine equipment or functions/modes which are out of commission or in a reduced operational status. c.

SECTION 2 - QUALIFICATION 4200 Objectives 4201 Responsibilities 4202 Qualification Requirements 4200. Objectives. The objective of the Combat Systems Department qualification program is to establish and maintain a level of qualification for personnel assigned to the Combat Systems Department that will ensure their capability to safely and effectively carry out all assigned duties and responsibilities. The minimum requirements set forth herein will serve as a guide to the trainee and examiners. Effective accomplishment of these aims will depend on the individual efforts and initiative of all Combat Systems Department personnel.

4201. Responsibilities 1. Combat Systems Officer (CSO). The CSO has overall responsibility for the Combat Systems Department qualification program. He will examine each qualification candidate and certify those who successfully complete the requirements. He will also decide when and if the qualification of any person is sufficiently in doubt as to require recertification. Recertification requirements are defined in reference (c). The CSO will set the qualification schedules on an individual basis, based on each person's professional background and qualification status and the ship's overall requirements. Reference (c) provides qualification goals. 2. Division Officers and Leading Petty Officers. The respective division officer and/or LPO will directly supervise the progress and execution of the qualification requirements assigned to each individual under his supervision and will be familiar with their qualification status and progress. It is his direct responsibility to ensure that each progresses at the maximum rate commensurate with his ability, and when qualified, that the individual's proficiency is maintained. The CSDEA shall act as administrator of the Combat Systems Department qualification program as directed by the CSO. 3. Combat Systems Department Personnel. All personnel assigned to the Combat Systems Department shall endeavor to complete assigned qualifications in accordance with assigned due dates.

4202. Qualification Requirements 1. The Combat Systems Department qualification program is administered per reference (c). Sonar supervisors and towed array handling supervisors shall be certified by the commanding officer. 2. Minimum requirements for Combat Systems Department watch station qualifications are contained in section 3 of this chapter. Each ship's qualification cards may be modified to reflect functions and


4-2-2

capabilities of equipment actually onboard. Modified cards must cover the areas listed in the enclosed qualification cards unless equipment to support that function or capability is not installed. Modified cards should be audited against the qualification cards of this instruction. 3. SOBT products should be used when indicated. If a referenced SOBT product is not available the Commanding Officer can designate an authorized equivalent to satisfy the qualification requirement. 4. Qualification, certification, maintenance of watch proficiency, and requalification of Nuclear Weapons Security Guards (NWSG) will be in accordance with the Submarine Force Nuclear Weapons Manual (COMNAVSUBFORINST 8120.2)
