Abstract
Maintenance in the U.S. Navy is officially prescribed to be accomplished by a three-tiered approach: organizational level (ship's force), intermediate level (tenders and shore- based intermediate maintenance activities--SIMAs),and depot level (shipyards). This thesis examines current trends in the utilization of these levels for maintenance of electronic equipment. The major objective was to determine the impact on manpower, training and supply support that an in- crease in the organizational level's responsibilities would have. An extensive research effort considered all available printed material relating to the maintenance systems currently in use. Interviews with maintenance managers at all levels of command were conducted at U.S. Navy maintenance facilities at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, San Diego, California, and Norfolk, Virginia. These interviews addressed general maintenance topics as well as specifics on eight pieces of electronic equipment. The major conclusion of this effort is that given adequate training, proper tools and increased supply support the organizational level's capabilities are constrained only by the physical limitations of its vessel.
