This publication is distributed on micro- fiche only and sequenced by the last nine digits of the NICN. The NICNs are not included in the Navy management data file (NMDF) nor are they published by the DLSC in the ML-N. However, a separate history file containing the NICN to NIIN cross-reference is maintained at the FMSO.

Supply Afloat Packaging Procedures The Supply Afloat Packaging Procedures, NAVSUP P-484, provides a simple do-it-yourself guide to assist naval supply activities both ashore and afloat that have limited packaging facilities in the accomplishment of basic packaging techniques that will adequately protect the transfer of material and retrograde shipments of repairable items. Afloat Supply Procedures The Afloat Supply Procedures, NAVSUP P-485, establishes policies for the operation and management of afloat supply departments and activities operating under afloat procedures. It is designed to assist supply personnel in the proper performance of their assigned duties and to aid them in understanding and performing their individual tasks associated with afloat supply operations. Although this publication is designed primarily for nonautomated ships (ships that use manual supply procedures), much of the infor- mation and policy it contains is applicable to all afloat supply departments including those that are automated. The procedures contained in this publication are minimum procedures that are essential to acceptable supply management and are mandatory unless specifically stated as being optional. It encompasses the procedures as out- lined in the NAVSUP P-437 as they apply to afloat situations. 1-15
