Unit 1 DC Admin (USN)
How are additions, deletions and changes made to diagrams in the master DC Book?
(079 V2, NTTP 3-20.31) - ANS-Delete information by crossing out old information with
red ink. No erasures are to be made and no notes are necessary to explain that the
information has been deleted. Add information to the diagrams using the colors of the
established color coding systems in use on the diagrams. Make additions at the correct
position on the diagrams, circling each change in red ink. Change info (names of
compartments or in notes) by marking the change in the margin of the book/diagrams
using black ink. Minor changes (change from a non-tight to watertight duct, change in
valve type) can be indicated by a note in the margin to show the extent of the correction

book and all other copies onboard? (079 V2, NTTP 3-20.31) - ANS-It shall be the
responsibility of the DCA to ensure that all alterations to the ship are properly noted in
the master DC Book (and all copies) to facilitate accurate hull inspections and update
printing of the book

Battle Helmets (may be relaxed at command's discretion), CBRN protective mask and
life jacket
List the duties and responsibilities of the sound and security watch (NTTP 3-20.31,
CNSPCNSLINST 3540.3A) - ANS-Assigned roving security patrol:
1. Maintain a continuous but irregular patrol above and below decks IAW prescribed
checkoff sheet
2. Check the security of spaces in which classified material is stowed/installed and
where a continuous watch is not posted
3. Inspect periodically all assigned locked spaces that are designated as security areas
4. Be continuously alert for evidence of sabotage, theft, fire and flooding
5. Take soundings of all compartments listed on the checkoff sheet and report the
results to the DCS in DCC, the OOD or EOOW as appropriate
6. Make periodic inspections of DC fittings for compliance with DC condition in effect,
including darken ship and reporting discrepancies
7. Report the results of security inspectors to the DCS and/or OOD hourly

Describe how photolum tape is used on an inclined ladder, vertical ladder and accesses
going to the weather decks (079 V2) - ANS-Inclined ladders are to be marked by
applying photolum strips on the inner frame, alternating sides with each step. The
handrails will be marked with 6 bands wrapped on each side. Ladders leading to the
weather decks are to have photolum material applied half the distance from the bottom
of the ladder only. Vertical ladders are to have photolum strips applied to both rails
along the entire vertical length, alternating sides with each rung.

V2) - ANS-Sound-powered telephone systems/IVCS are the principal means of DC
communications between DCC and command ship control and engineering stations
What are the five classifications for these circuits and the primary function of each?
(NTTP 3-20.31, 079 V2) - ANS-1. Primary: SPT/IVCS circuits designated for primary
control of and operating functions associated with ship, weapons, aircraft, engineering
and DC
2. Auxiliary: additional SPT/IVCS circuits providing alternate means of communication
for select stations serviced by primary SPT circuits
3. Supplementary: circuits providing SP/IVCS communications for various subordinate
control, operating and service functions
4. Emergency: SPT circuits allowing emergency SPT communications to be established
in the event of damage to other communications systems or for control of emergency
equipment
5. Miscellaneous: any SPT circuits not included in the above classifications
, List the 15 functions that a fire party performs (NTTP 3-20.31, 079 V2, 555) - ANS-1. Be
in charge at scene
2. Direct and coordinate nozzlemen
3. Operate NFTI
4. Operate nozzles
5. Tend hoses
6. Operate fire plugs and rig jumper hoses
7. Open accesses and use forcible entry tools
8. Determine location of fire and nature of casualty
9. Set and man fire, smoke and CBR boundaries as necessary
10. Carry messages
11. Carry and supply to the scene AFFF concentrate, SCBAs or SCBA cylinders,
equipment and material as required
12. De-energize circuits and rig power cables as required
13. Perform first aid
14. Desmoking
15. Recharge depleted SCBA cylinders
What is COND II DC and what does it provide? (NTTP 3-20.31, 079 V2) - ANS-COND II
DC organization is the call to a limited number of repair party stations to protect the ship
from some form of damage while allowing for minimal disruption to ship operations. It
allows significant increase in DC response without disrupting tactical watch stations.
What watch stations are required to be manned at COND II DC?? (NTTP 3-20.31, 079
V2) - ANS-At a minimum, one DCRS and one BDS in addition to DCC
List 4 occasions when material condition Zebra will be set (555, 079 V2, NTTP 3-20.31)
- ANS-1. Immediately and automatically when GQ is sounded
2. When entering/leaving port in wartime
3. TO localize damage and control fire and flooding when crew is not at GQ
4. At any time the CO deems the max condition of survivability should be set
List 3 of the steps required at Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) Level 2?
(NTTP 3-20.31, 470) - ANS-1. Activate installed detectors
2. Carry mask and other IPE available
3. Set condition MOD Z
What are the fire marshal's firefighting responsibilities? (NTTP 3-20.31, 079 V2) -
ANS-1. If not at GQ, proceed directly to the scene of the fire to direct efforts of the rapid
responders. May serve as the OSL for the flying squad or a separate
