The possibility of developing a 'suite' of critical engineering parts to be carried by
one of a group of Gas-turbine ships when deployed together has been raised. Such
ships are sufficiently uniform in their engineering plants to make such a 'suite' feasible.
The end purpose would be to lessen the possibility of a loss of mission' engineering
failure by having low demand parts in theater. The inherent question is that of the
performance of both current allowance computation models and the operating
procedures which support those models. To answer the questions, a test of the current
COSAL model is compared with a similar test of a model more attuned to high levels
of protection. Allowance computation procedures are explored, as are those of the
related essentia^ty measuring systems. The author presents the results of this test,
conclusions drawn therefrom, suggestions for possible action and recommendations for
improvements in current reporting procedures.
