SUBSAFE Program - (ANSWER)a collection of policies, rigorous procedures, and actions for ensuring the
integrity of submarine design, construction, maintenance, and alteration as it relates to the SUBSAFE
and hull integrity boundary. The two basic objectives are to prevent flooding and to enable recovery
from a flooding casualty.
Origins of SUBSAFE Program - (ANSWER)Originated in response to circumstances surrounding loss of
USS THRESHER (SSN 593) on 10 April 1963 while on sea trials.
Joint Congressional Committee concluded that a
flooding casualty in THRESHER's engine room, resulting from a piping failure in one of the seawater
systems, most probably caused the submarine's loss.
THRESHER Design Appraisal Board determined that, although the basic design of THRESHER was sound,
measures should be taken to improve the confidence level of the material condition of the SUBSAFE and
hull integrity boundary and of the ability of submarines to control and recover from flooding casualties.
Submarine Safety Steering Task Group (SSSTG) - (ANSWER)Provides high-level, comprehensive attention
to ensure adequate provision of SUBSAFE requirements. Approves or disapproves SUBSAFE policy
changes.
Chaired by SEA 07
OPNAV/NAVSEA 92/07 (WRT SUBSAFE) - (ANSWER)As indicated earlier, OPNAV has
delegated its statutory SUBSAFE responsibilities to NAVSEA. In turn, NAVSEA has assigned the
responsibilities to SEA 07, which holds SEA 07Q accountable for implementation and management of
the SUBSAFE Program.
NAVSEA 08 (WRT SUBSAFE) - (ANSWER)Responsible for the reactor plant portions
of the SUBSAFE Program and for ensuring associated compliance.

Submarine Safety Oversight Committee (SSOC) - (ANSWER)The SSOC provides independent command-
level oversight of the SUBSAFE Program to ensure, from a Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command
perspective, that the purpose and intent of the
SUBSAFE Program are being met by the Deputy Commander for Undersea Warfare (NAVSEA 07).
Chaired by SEA 09
SUBSAFE Working Group (SSWG) - (ANSWER)Provides SEA 07Q with direct liaison and input regarding
SUBSAFE Program performance and improvement recommendations. The SSWG
is composed of NAVSEA/PEO-SUB SUBSAFE representatives and fleet/field SUBSAFE representatives.
Chaired by SEA 07Q
SUBSAFE Review Group (SSRG) - (ANSWER)The NAVSEA/PEO-SUB contingent of the SSWG makes up the
SSRG. Operating under a Memorandum of Agreement, the SSRG reviews and recommends disposition of
SUBSAFE Manual change recommendations submitted to SEA 07Q for incorporation into the SUBSAFE
Manual.
Chaired by SEA 07Q
NAVSEA Submarine Program Managers (WRT SUBSAFE) - (ANSWER)Responsible for executing the
SUBSAFE Program for assigned ships on a class basis. PMSs are members of the SSSTG; their SUBSAFE
Directors are members of the SSWG and SSRG.
NAVSEA Technical Codes (WRT SUBSAFE) - (ANSWER)Provide technical assistance in resolving SUBSAFE
issues and problems. SEA 05U7TC and SEA 05U3,
members of the SSWG and SSRG, are the primary NAVSEA technical codes with which SEA 07Q directly
interfaces. (The SUBSAFE Manual designates SEA 05 as the final technical authority.)
