Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual Submarine Maintenance
General Overview Coatings discussed in this section are applicable to interior decks. For specific guidance on interior non-skids, refer to NSTM Chapter 634; Deck Coverings.
For decks receiving covering, ensure that the deck covering and the primer are compatible. Maintenance and touch up repairs in-service are performed as needed by ship’s force. During major availabilities, shipyard/depot level personnel perform the work. Maintenance Standard 6310-081-015 -Submarine Preservation (SMS), NSTM 631, and NSTM 634 provide guidance on the repair, maintenance, and installation of deck coatings. Only coatings listed in the SMS and the Submarine Material Control List may be used.
The Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual supersedes all existing Type. Forward all ACNs approved via letter to Submarine Maintenance Engineering, Planning and.
All coatings applied to atmospherically-connected areas on submarines must be off-gas tested prior to use. New Technology Areas (Only coatings approved by NAVSEA for use on submarines may be applied.) Improved Surface Preparation Enhanced surface preparation has been instituted, including strict adherence to surface preparation standards (SSPC/NACE/ASTM). Power tool cleaning and Sponge-Jet blasting are approved as surface preparation methods.
Quality Assurance Independent third-party QA oversight at key points during the process and in-house (first-party) QA monitoring of the preservation process by NACE or NBPI-qualified inspectors is vital to achieving the design life expectancy of these new systems. Government oversight should not replace in-house QA process monitoring by NACE or NBPI-qualified inspectors. Navy Coating Application Process Repair Requirements Submarine Maintenance Standard MS NO. 6310-081-015 “Submarine Preservation” (Official Use Only) The SMS for submarine preservation is the governing technical document for submarine preservation and maintenance. This document consolidates requirements into a single standard and is dedicated to the proper application and maintenance of coatings on U.S. Navy submarines.
Requirements listed in the SMS provide guidance for Intermediate Maintenance Activities (IMAs), Naval Shipyards, and contractors. The SMS does not supersede NSTM 631.

However, in instances where requirements specified are conflicting, the SMS governs. This also applies to DDGOS, MRCs, MSs, and individual ships’ Paint Schedule requirements. Submarine Maintenance Standard MS NO. 6310-081-015 shall be referred to for all application and QA/QC requirements and all information for submarine preservation shall be verified per application documents prior to any work being performed.

Naval Ships’ Technical Manual (NSTM) The NSTM is referenced in the Submarine Maintenance Standard for various preservation requirements. The applicable Chapters for preservation are listed below. Naval Ships’ Technical Manual (NSTM) Chapter 631.
Volume 1 Preservation of Ships in Service – General Naval Ships’ Technical Manual (NSTM) Chapter 634 – Deck Coverings NSTM 634 provides the guidance for installation and maintenance of deck coverings. Scheduled Preservation Upkeep Coordinated Efforts (SPRUCE) The SPRUCE program ensures efficient preservation maintenance and upkeep efforts between major industrial availabilities. Ship’s force personnel are responsible for maintenance and preservation of non-skid during operational cycles until repair activity maintenance is scheduled and coordinated by the Type Commander. SPRUCE activities do not apply to SSBN-726 Class submarines. Specific requirements concerning SPRUCE activities can be found in the Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual, CINCLANTFLT/CINCPACFLT INST 4790.3 Volume IV, Part III, Chapter 11.
