Turn-in of Air-Launch Missile Material
Ships must turn in air-launch missiles (ALMs) and
ALM material (including wings and fins) before a
regular overhaul. Upon return from deployment, CVs
are normally directed to turn in or transfer all ALMs and
ALM material to another ship or activity ashore. This
does not include inert rounds used for training missile
handling crews.
Present ALM maintenance policy permits ships to
retain all serviceable deep-stowed ALMs, including
ALMs on cargo load ships, until the maintenance due
date (MDD) of the missile has been reached.
Deep-stowed ALMs are missiles that have not been
removed from their sealed shipping container. When a
CV turns in missiles that have remained in deep-stowage
and the MDD has not expired, the accompanying
paperwork is normally marked ready for issue (RFI).
When the shipping seals on the missile container are
broken, or the missile is removed from the shipping
container for any reason or the MDD has expired, the
accompanying paperwork should be marked not ready
for issue (non-RFI).
Serviceable assets from deep stowage that are
turned in must be repackaged and tagged according to
captive-flown missiles, missiles in ready-service
stowage, and Seasparrow missiles carried on launchers
must be segregated, packaged, and tagged according to
current directives, and then routed to WPNSTA
Yorktown, Virginia. Documentation is prepared on a
DD Form 1348-1 according to the procedures discussed
in the following paragraph.
Turn-in of Ammunition
When it is necessary to turn in ammunition two
preliminary steps must be taken. First, when complete
download is necessary, notify CINCLANTFLT,
TYCOM, and weapons station or receiving ship by
message of all the items to be off-loaded. In the
message, identify all items by NALC, quantity, and the
date of proposed download. Second, prepare a DOD
Single-Line Item Release/Receipt Document, DD Form
1348-1, for each type of ammunition to be off-loaded
Preparation of DD Form 1348-1
When you prepare the DD Form 1348-1, there are
certain data blocks that must be filled in. Other data
blocks can be used when required for a particular
situation.
The following procedures describe the
required information entered in these data blocks. See
current directives. Unserviceable assets, including
figure 17-13.
