3-M documentation. For consistency, you should maintain a central point for receiving trouble calls (such as the EMO office or workshop). Each time an equipment trouble is detected, a separate trouble report should be submitted. It should state such information as the equipment affected, nature of the trouble, time of failure, originator’s name, and  other  information  appropriate  to  your  electronics organization. When the trouble has been corrected, the originator should sign the appropriate block of the trouble report (or the Accepted by block of the OPNAV 4790/2K maintenance action form). Eight O’Clock Reports Eight o’clock reports are daily equipment status reports   given   to   the   commanding   officer   by   the executive officer each evening at 8 o’clock (2000 hrs). At  sea,  the  EMO  usually  will  give  the  electronics division’s eight o’clock report to the department head at least 1 hour prior to the eight o’clock reports. In port, the eight o’clock reports are given to the CDO by  the  duty  departmental  officers.  As  a  senior technician, you must ensure that the information is current and accurate for your area of responsibility. Traditionally,   the   eight   o’clock   reports   are verbal  reports  of  equipment  status.  However, because  of  the  number  of  equipments  on  our  ships today, a master sheet of equipments is usually made up  in  multiple-copy  form.  Applicable  comments are made adjacent to the listed equipment on a daily basis. One copy of the equipment list is kept for the divisional  file.  The  original  is  turned  in  for  the eight  o’clock  reports.  The  following  information  is provided  for  each  piece  of  equipment  on  the  eight o’clock   report: l l l l Whether the equipment is in an “up status” or “down status,” with a statement of the nature of the   problem Parts  information  (parts  on  board,  parts  not  on board, and supply chit requisition number) Estimated time of repair for a “down” item Whether or not a Casualty Report (CASREP) will be necessary (If an equipment or system CASREP  has  already  been  made,  the  report includes  the  CASREP  serial  number  for  the applicable equipment or system.) Casualty Reports (CASREPs) As an electronics supervisor, you will often be in a situation that requires you to draft a CASREP message. The purpose and basic types of CASREPs are given in the following paragraph. Chapter 5 of this TRAMAN gives detailed information on the CASREP system. The casualty report (CASREP) was designed to support the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) and fleet commanders  in  the  management  of  assigned  forces.  The effective use and support of Navy forces require an up-to-date,  accurate  operational  status  report  for  each unit. An important part of each operational status report is casualty information. The CASREP system contains four  types  of  reports:  INITIAL,  UPDATE,  CORRECT, and  CANCEL.  CASREPs  are  not  a  substitute  for,  but are  in  addition  to  and  complement,  3-M  data.  The reference  publication  for  CASREP  information  and procedures  is  NWP  10-1-10. Getting Underway Reports On  most  ships,  the  electronics  division  will  be responsible  for  turning  in  an  equipment  status  report (similar  to  eight  o’clock  reports)  before  getting underway. This report may be due any time between 72 hours  and  24  hours  before  getting  underway,  depending on the requirements set by your TYCOM and command. This report usually includes major equipment status, estimated   time   of   repair   (ETR),   power   out/MDS readings  from  radars,  and  power  out/receiver  sensitivity readings from communications equipment. The getting underway report is usually given on a locally generated report  form  (checklist  type),  specifically  for  getting underway; however, it may be made on the same form as the eight o’clock report. (The report will vary from command  to  command.) Anticipated Not Operationally Ready-Supply (ANORS)  Reports ANORS requisitions are used when a casualty is anticipated because of the lack of material. For example, suppose your air search radar’s main output tube is expected to go bad within a short time and no spare tube is on board. The radar is still operational. However, since you anticipate that the tube will fail, you should submit an  ANORS  requisition.  Afloat  Supply  Procedures, NAVSUP  P-485,  describes  the  use  of  the  ANORS requisition. Defective  Material  Reports Reporting  of  defective  materials  obtained  through the supply system is covered in NAVSUP P-485. The Navy uses a report of discrepancy (ROD) or quality deficiency report (QDR) to report supply discrepancies. An  ROD  is  used  to  report  shipping  or  packaging 2-4
