NAVICPINST 4441 - NAVY BMR

1 NAVICPINST i INTRODUCTION This publication guides the user through the Coordinated Shipboard Allowance List (COSAL)/Coordinated Shorebase Allowance List (COSBAL) to identify equipments and their repair parts and consumables. Furthermore, this publication discusses the various methods available to the user to report equipment configuration deficiencies discovered by ship's force or to report changes resulting from formal alteration accomplishment. It also provides a logic matrix to afford any COSAL/COSBAL user the administrative and automated tools with which to correct a myriad of Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) deficiencies, ranging from inadequate technical manual support to inadequate repair part allowances to affect maintenance.

2 An accurate COSAL/COSBAL, used correctly, will guarantee successful logistical support of our Navy's ship and shore stations. Most ships are now automated and follow automated COSAL use and maintenance procedures. The purpose of this manual is to provide a basic COSAL background which can be used to better understand and complement automated COSAL procedures. COSAL specifies the range and depth of all equipments validated to be on board a ship and resident in the Weapon Systems File (WSF). It also specifies all repair parts, special tools, and Maintenance Assistance Modules (MAM) required to maintain the ship, and further provides specific repair part allowances necessary to support preventive and corrective maintenance during extended and unreplenished periods at sea. The COSAL and its shorebase counterpart, the COSBAL, are important tools in maintaining total Fleet readiness.

3 This publication is designed to help both technical and supply personnel to better understand the content of the COSAL/COSBAL, how it is produced, and how it should be used and maintained. Comments and recommendations concerning this manual are encouraged and should be sent to the following address: Commander, Naval Inventory Control Point Attn: Code 8543 P O Box 2020 5450 Carlisle Pike Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055-0788 or call DSN 430-1809, Commercial 717-605-1809.

7 A COSAL is an authoritative document which lists: a. The equipments/components verified by Ships Configuration and Logistics Support Information System (SCLSIS) Configuration Data Manager (CDM) to be installed on a ship to perform its operational mission; b. The repair parts and special tools required for the operation, overhaul, and repair of equipments/ components; c. Operating Space Items (OSI) and consumables necessary for the safety, care, and upkeep of the ship itself; and; d. Aeronautical Equipment. The term aeronautical equipment refers to items for which Naval Inventory Control Point-Philadelphia (NAVICP-P) manages. Also, included are Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) managed end items. These items include but are not limited to the following: (1) Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment (ALRE).

8 (2) Visual and Optical Landing Aids (VLA/OLA). (3) Ground Support Equipment (GSE) (4) Selected Communications Equipment. Questions concerning the Aeronautical COSAL or NAVICP-P managed equipment can be directed to: Comanding Officer ATTN: Code 03411 NAVICP-P 700 Robbins Avenue Philadelphia PA 19111-5098 2. A COSAL provides both technical and supply information that makes it an Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) document. It is a technical document to the extent that equipment/component/part nomenclatures, operating characteristics, technical manuals, etc., are described in Allowance Parts Lists (APLs) or Allowance Equipage Lists (AELs). It is a supply document inasmuch as it lists the items required to achieve maximum self-supporting capability for an extended period of time.

9 Information relative to subsistence, recreational equipment, medical material, hydrographic charts, resale clothing, ship's store merchandise, bulk fuels, lubricants, ammunition, small arms, weapons, and night vision equipment will continue to be published in unique lists prepared by the appropriate activity. Since the COSAL provides the ship with basic guidance for determining the items (and quantity of each item) that should be stocked by the supply department or held in the custody of other departments, it is essential that changes be incorporated promptly and properly upon receipt, and that corrective action be taken when it is determined that any part of the COSAL is inaccurate or incomplete. B. SHIP'S SELECTED RECORDS (SSRs).

10 The COSAL is included in the SSRs. SSRs consist of the ship's drawings, selected record data, and allowance documents. Together, 1-3 NAVICPINST they contain the complete configuration and logistical profile of a ship. Familiarity with the three types of SSRs below can help the user make the most of the COSAL and the Shipboard Nontactical Automated Data Processing Program II (SNAP II) database. 1. Selected Record Drawings. The drawings illustrate the important features, systems, and arrangements of a particular ship. Two sets of drawings are furnished to each ship. 2. Selected Record Data. Selected record data describes arrangements, equipment, systems, and procedures essential to the operation of a ship. This record library includes such documentation as damage control books, ship information books, system and equipment technical manuals, ship's drawing indices, training aid booklets, and propulsion operating guides.
