FORWARD
The reason for producing this book is to provide Faculty, Staff, Midshipmen and Cadets at the United
States Merchant Marine Academy a central location where general information as well as information
relating to the safety of the vessel and personnel aboard the KINGS POINTER can be found at a
glance. This information can be found in many different publications, and drawings throughout the
vessel. By consolidating this material in one reference, it will not only make important information
readily available in an emergency, but it will also make it easier and faster for interested personnel to
learn and familiarize themselves with the vessel. This Damage Control Book contains vital
information and characteristics of the KINGS POINTER that may prove to be invaluable in an
emergency.

MARKING SYSTEM
Marking System
As you tour the vessel you will see spaces and items marked in a particular manner. The location
marking system is based upon three numbers separated by hyphens, DECK-FRAME-SIDE:
Deck Numbers
The first number of the marking is the deck number. The uppermost continuous deck from stem to
stern is the main deck and is marked with a one "1". The decks below the main deck are sequential
numbered. The deck immediately below the main ( or deck number 1 ) would be deck number two
"2", the third deck down would be three "3", etc.... Decks above the main deck are called levels in
that they are not continuous from stem to stern, and are marked by a zero proceeding that level. For
example, "01" represents the first level above the main deck, "02" the second level, "03" the third
level, etc.... For this vessel, the first numbers found for the marking system are:
04 Level Flying Bridge
03 Level Bridge
02 Level Forecastle, Weather Deck, officer's staterooms, ship's
office, life raft
stowage and rescue boat stowage
01 Level Staterooms, emergency generator, Midshipmen
Classroom, and
boatswain's locker
1 Main Deck Staterooms, galley, mess hall, hospital, gym and ship's
store.
2 Deck Engineering Spaces and laundry
3 Deck Engineering Spaces
Frame Numbers
The second number in the marking system is the frame. Frames are usually numbered from bow to
stern. Frame numbers on this ship run from 1 to 103. Frames are the transverse "ribs" of the ship
and on this ship are spaced 2 feet apart. Frames on some ships may be closer than 2 feet at the
bow and stern. Compartments and passageways are referenced by the forward-most frame. An
example on this ship is passageway 1-9-0. It is on the first , or main deck and begins at frame
number 9.
Side Numbers
The third number of the basic numbering system is the side number. As in numbering of lifeboats
and life rafts, side numbers are odd for the starboard side and even for the port side. Thus all
fittings, and spaces to the starboard side of the centerline will have the last number being odd such
as a "1" and all those to the port side of the centerline will have as their last number being even such
as a "2". Those elements marked along the centerline will have a 0 as their last number. For the
passageway 1-9-0 example above, the zero indicates that it is on the centerline of the ship.
8/7/01
If two or more compartments or fittings have the same deck and frame numbers, they are numbered
consecutively higher odd or higher even numbers from the centerline outward. 1, 3, 5 etc. on the
starboard side and 2, 4, 6 etc... on the port side.
In addition to the numbers used for the marking system, there may also be prefixes and suffixes to
the numbers. Each of these has a specific meaning. A prefix such as FSD indicate a Fire Screen
Door, a WTD would be a Water Tight Door and FS would indicate a Fire Station. The suffix is for the
compartment designation. F would be for fuel oil, E for engineering spaces, W for salt water ballast
and V for void spaces, etc.... Here is an example: 01-20-1-T would be on the first level above the
main deck, its forward most bulkhead is at frame 20 and its on the starboard side. The T indicates
that it is vertical access trunk.
Here's a full example: The label FSD 02-23-0 indicates a Fire Screen Door on the 02 level, frame 23,
on the centerline.

Unique Features of the Ship
The propulsion and ship service electrical power is provided by four 600 kW, 600 VAC, 3-phase
diesel generator sets feeding a common bus.
The two DC main propulsion motors are powered by the main generator sets through silicon
controlled rectifiers (SCR's).
Ship's service power is derived through three 500 kW, 600 V/450 V transformers.
Due to her earlier surveillance mission, the ship has been designed for reduced radiated noise. This
has been accomplished through:
• Cavitation free propellers at or below three knots;
• Elimination of reduction gears in the propulsion system;
• Sound insulation of diesel generator sets and other machinery;
• Vibration dampening and acoustical insulation of all machinery; and,
• Use of void spaces to isolate main generator spaces from exterior hull.
Accommodations
Accommodations aboard this vessel are similar to what may be found aboard commercial ships.
There are single or double staterooms for each member of the crew, with adjoining stateroom
sharing a head and shower. Officers’ staterooms have private facilities.
There is an officer’s lounge and mess room. The crew has separate messing facilities and lounge. A
40-person classroom has been created in the former SURTASS electronics space. There is also a
small classroom, an eight person berthing room, and a laundry.

Contents of Space
Diesel engine, diesel fuel (320 gallons in tank under generator), lube oil in generator, lube oil header
tank for bow thruster, hydraulic oil in anchor hydraulic power unit (50 gallons), battery cells,
emergency electric switchboard.
Adjacent Spaces
Forward: Engine storeroom 01-1-2, steward's storeroom 01-2-1, bosun's locker 01-6-0.
Aft: Passageway and weather deck
Above: Focs'l weather deck
Below: Chain lockers 1-6-1 & 2, ship's store 1-6-4, dry provisions storeroom 1-6-3.
Manual Closures
FSD 01-6-0 to forward storerooms, FSD 01-10-0 to passageway, scuttle 02-5-1 to focs'l deck, three
(3) vent covers (exhaust) 01-12-1, two (2) vent covers (intake) 01-12-2, two (2) vent hand wheels to
bow thruster 1-9-0.
Fire Hoses:. Interior stations #4 01-19-0 covers aft FSD and vent cover areas (access through
weather tight doors 01-13-1 or 2). Focs'l deck station #1 02-14-1 cools focs'l deck and may access
space through scuttle 02-5-1 and FSD 01-6-0. Interior station #2 02-20-0 led through weather door
02-20-1 or 2 and over railing to the exterior 01 level, cools vent cover areas not covered by station #4
01-19-0.
Class of Fire
Most possible cause of fire in this space is a rupture of a line or tank from the fuel, lube oil, or
hydraulic oil system resulting in a class "B" fire. A second probable cause in an electrical panel class
"C" fire.
Fire Fighting
SCBA's must be worn by the hose team at #4 01-19-0, the individual to initiate the Halon system and
those to secure the vent covers due to smoke. Secure FSD's and scuttle, close vent covers to the
space. Initiate Halon system by breaking the glass in the pull boxes, pulling valve release first and
cylinder second. Failure to pull cables in this order may render the Halon system inoperative.
(System may also be initiated locally by rotating the Nautilus valve counter-clockwise and pulling the
trigger on the CO2 bottle. Initiation of the Halon system will sound a discharge alarm, secure the
ventilation to the space, secure the emergency diesel generator, and release Halon into the space.
Monitor the temperature of the focs'l deck, cool with the fire hose as necessary. Monitor temperature
of the after FSD and vent covers, cool down as necessary with fire hoses. Monitor the space blow,
especially the dry provisions storeroom for any fuel leakage and spread of fire. FSD 01-6-0 must be
kept closed at all times when the focs'l is not actually occupied to prevent any dispersion of Halon
forward, rendering fire fighting ineffective. Should spilled fuel cause concern about a re-flash upon
opening of space for cleanup, apply AFFF to the deck from interior station #4 01-19-0, either through
FSD 01-10-0 or vent covers 01-12-1. Hose team must wear proximity suits and SCBA's fit tested
with escape provisions. Hose from station #2 02-20-0 should be fitted with an applicator to provide
protection and cool down the AFFF hose team.

CHAPTER 6 PRE-FIRE PLANS
8/7/01
Cleanup
After discharge of Halon into the space, do not open the doors or vent covers for at least six (6)
hours, unless the fire is obviously not out and must be fought with hoses. No entry into space without
an SCBA until the space is properly ventilated and the atmosphere is tested safe. Upon opening
space, proximity suits must be worn and an applicator rigged as a precaution against re-flash.
Hazards
Smoke will probable be forced into the passageway from under the FSD prior to response. In
addition to smoke and petroleum hydrocarbons, Halon may decompose into hydrogen bromide and
hydrogen fluoride, both of which are toxic. Battery may rupture or burn, introducing caustic fumes
into the atmosphere and battery acid on deck.
Operations
Emergency diesel generator will be inoperative, damage may prevent future operation. Fire could
result in loss of anchor windlass due to hydraulic power unit casualty. Fire or water damage to the
emergency power panel could cause loss of emergency lighting and power resulting in a rewiring of
main power circuits to bypass the panel.
Evacuation
To evacuate space exit:
• Aft Fire Screen Door (01-10-0) to 01 Deck passageway
• Foward Fire Screen Door (01-06-0) into boatswain locker overhead Emergency Escape Hatch

at panel. P427,. switch #9. 1-58-0,. secure power to 440V appliances at P418 switches. #'s 1-5 1-
44-0.
Fire Hoses: Interior station #8 1-33-0 through crew's mess or galley door, interior station #9 1-69-0
through officers' mess. Interior station #5 01-42-1 to cool down the deck in stateroom, passageway
and DC locker above.
Class of Fire
Probable cause of fire is in the deep fat fryer on the range, either of which would be a class "B" fire.
An electrical fire form any of the electrical appliances could also erupt as a class "C" fire.
Fire Fighting
Secure ventilation and all electrical circuits prior to attacking the fire with hoses. Range guard system
will automatically activate in the event of a fire in the deep fat fryer or on the range. Weak links in the
range will melt at 360o F, firing nitrogen bottle which will apply Karbaloy to the range top area, secure
range hood ventilation and set range hood dampers to the fire fighting mode. System may also be
manually operated at the yellow pull station outside the galley door. Smoke will probably enter the
passageway and mess decks from under FSD's prior to response. #1 hose team with proximity suits
and SCBA's cool down FSD prior to entering the space, using hose from station #8 1-33-0. #2 hose
team with proximity suits and SCBA's fit tested with escape provisions proceed as hose team #1,
using hose from fire station #9 1-69-0. Monitor temperature of the 01 level decks, cool down as
necessary with hose from #5 01-42-2.
Cleanup
Karbaloy is a slippery, soapy mixture, which will require careful cleanup. If hoses are used, circuits
should be carefully checked prior to re-energizing.
Operations
The appliance at the source of the fire should be considered damaged beyond use, and other
appliances may require extensive attention prior to further use. This may impair food service, but
should not severely impact the mission.
Evacuation

Class of Fire
Probable cause of fire is a smoldering mattress, trash can, or burning medical supplies and
packaging any one of which would be a class "A" fire. Acetone in the space would result in a class
"B" fire. Either of these scenarios could develop into a class "B" fire if oxygen bottles are heated
sufficiently.
Fire Fighting
Secure ventilation fans, vent re-heater and all electrical power circuits prior to attacking fire with fire
hoses. Smoke will probably enter passageway from under FSD prior to response. # 1 hose team
with proximity suits and SCBA's cool down FSD prior to entering the space, using hose from station
#8 1-33-0. For other than a minor, smoldering fire, cool down the oxygen bottles mounted on the
after bulkhead using high velocity fog. Forward bulkhead of crew's mess may be cooled down from
station #9 1-69-0, using an extra length of hose. Monitor temperature of this bulkhead. Monitor the
temperature of the deck in stateroom 01-29-1, cool down as necessary with hose from
01-19-0.
Cleanup
For a mattress fire, remove mattress from the space and dispose of it immediately. De-water the
hospital as needed.
Operations
Other than loss of medical facilities, no impairment of mission should result, unless the fire spreads
to the 01 level staterooms.

or direr electrical components.
Fire Fighting
SCBA's must be worn by hose teams and all personnel venturing below the main deck. Secure
WTD, all ventilation and closures, and power to space. For class "C" fire, use CO2 extinguisher(s)
on washers and/or dryers. For class "A" fire, lead hose and applicator from main deck fire station,
open inspection plates to drier ducting, insert applicator and soak down the vent lining thoroughly.
Cleanup
When cool, remove lint from ducting and dispose of same. Wipe down and dry electrical circuits,
including washers and dryers before energizing circuits.
Hazards

Interior station 1-69-0. will reach to ladder well 1-45-0 to cool main deck and FSD. Interior station at
#5 01-42-2 will cool upper FSD and ladder well as will exterior station #6 01-47-1. Interior station #8
1-33-0 covers main deck, and may access space through FSD 1-23-0 and WTD 2-34-0.
Class of Fire
Most probable fire in this space is fuel or lube oil from a ruptured line or engine explosion. Assume a
major class "B" fire.
Fire Fighting
Secure WTD and FSD, close vent dampers on stacks on 03 level (exhaust first to prevent Halon from
escaping). If an engineer is in the main control station, have him secure the natural exhaust damper
located high on the after starboard bulkhead of the main control station about five (5) feet from the
starboard bulkhead in the parts bin stowage area. Initiate the Halon system by breaking the glass in
the pull boxes and pulling the valve release first, cylinder release second. Failure to pull the cables in
this order will render the system inoperative. Initiation of system sounds a discharge alarm, secures
ventilation fans, and releases Halon into the space.
• Monitor temperature of decks in main deck spaces located above engine room, cool down as
necessary with fire hoses. Due to power panels in space, cool down of main control station
forward bulkhead is not advised, even in worst case scenario.
• Ladder well leading to FSD 1-46-0 and 01-46-0 is a major concern, due to rising heat and toxic
fumes. Monitor temperature of the ladder well bulkheads, especially on the 01 level. If the
temperature in the ladder well becomes too hot due to rising heat, puncture glass in FSD with
point of fire ax, insert four (4) foot applicator to cool down. Do not open door, as a flashback may
occur.

AFFF to deck from fire station #8 1-33-0, led through FSD 1-23-0 and WTD 2-34-0. Hose team
must wear proximity suits and. With adapters, a wye gate valve may be fitted to the tunnel
station, providing one hose for AFFF and one hose for protective/cool down of AFFF hose team
with a four (4) foot applicator.
Cleanup
After discharge of Halon into space, do not open doors or vent covers for at least six (6) hours,
unless fire is obviously not out, and must be fought with hoses. No entry into space without an SCBA
until the space is properly ventilated and the atmosphere is tested safe. Upon opening space,
proximity suit must be worn and applicator rigged as precautions against re-flash.
Hazards
In addition to smoke and petroleum hydrocarbons, Halon may decompose into hydrogen fluoride and
hydrogen bromide, both of which are toxic.
Operations
Fire pump #1 should be presumed inoperative in this fire scenario. Halon securing main engines will
shut down power for propulsion and hotel services. Only circuits powered by the emergency diesel
generator will continue to operate.

PRE-FIRE PLAN: Aft Deck Workshop 1-75-0
Contents of Space
Lube oil in stern tube header tanks, hydraulic oil in array hydraulic power unit tank, rags and other
materials.
Adjacent Spaces
Forward: Main deck vestibule and open decks.
Aft and Sides: Open decks.
Above: Lube oil drums, deck lockers and open deck.
Below: Anti-roll tank 2-72-0, tunnel 3-72-0, fuel tanks 4-72-1, 2 & 4
Manual Closures
WTD 1-80-0, vent covers 1-75-2 (intake) and 1-80-2 (exhaust)
Fire Hoses:. Interior stations #9 1-69-0 and exterior stations #11 & 10 1-72-1 & 2 provide coverage
for sides of the space and vent openings. Exterior stations #7 & #6 01-47-1 & 2 (require extra
lengths of hose) cool overhead deck, lockers, lube oil drums, header tank goosenecks.
Class of Fire
Most possible cause of fire in this space is a rupture of a line or tank from lube oil, or hydraulic oil
system, resulting in a class "B" fire. A second probable cause are rags, a class "A" fire.
Fire Fighting
Secure WTD, close vent covers (exhaust first to prevent escape of Halon to the space. Initiate Halon
system by breaking the glass in the pull boxes, pulling valve release first and cylinder second.
Failure to pull cables in this order may render the Halon system inoperative. Unlike other Halon
systems on board, it is unsafe to operate. this system locally from the bottles due to them being
located in the space served. Initiation of the Halon system will sound a discharge alarm, secure the
air conditioning unit, exhaust fan and hydraulic power unit, and release Halon into the space. Monitor
the temperature of the top of the workshop, cool with the fire hose as necessary. Monitor
temperature of the bulkheads, cool down as necessary with main deck fire hoses. For a major fire
and rupture in the hydraulic power unit room, with a large amount of hydraulic oil released, rig AFFF
nozzle to fire hose #10 1-72-2, open vent cover
1-75-2 near deck grating, apply AFFF through vent into hydraulic power unit room.
Cleanup
After discharge of Halon into the space, do not open the doors or vent covers for at least six (6)
hours, unless the fire is obviously not out and must be fought with hoses. No entry into space without
an SCBA until the space is properly ventilated and the atmosphere is tested safe. Upon opening
space, proximity suits must be worn an applicator rigged as a precaution against re-flash. If AFFF
was applied to hydraulic power unit room, deck drains located at after end of hydraulic power unit and
next to steps may be opened to drain oil, water and AFFF into array leakage tank 2-92-2.

other modes of operation.
• Should this action fail to restore steering, switch to the other steering pump.
• Call engine room and notify the engineer of the situation.
• Notify the Master.
In the event that none of the Steering Modes (Gyro, Hand and/or NFU) on the Selector Switch,
or switching to the other steering pump, fail to restore steering control, the following actions
will be taken:
• Immediately take all way off the vessel by placing the throttle handles in the vertical “STOP
ENGINES” position or even “ASTERN” if necessary.
NOTE: On a twin screw vessel, steering can be accomplished by the experienced mariner by a
combination of offset and side forces produced by the two propellers.
• Call engine room and notify the engineer of the situation.
• Notify the Master.
• If in piloting waters, call out an anchor detail and have them stand by on the foredeck until the
situation is remedied.
• Make a Security Call on VHF Channels 13 and 16. Indicate the vessel's position and the
specifics of the situation.
• Display the appropriate day shapes or lights for “Vessels Not Under Command.”
• Call out individuals to man the steering gear on the steering flat.
a. Establish communications with the steering flat by both VHF radio and sound powered
phone.
b. Have the person in charge on the steering flat verify the gyro heading on the repeater on
the steering flat. Synchronize with the master gyro as necessary.
c. Have the person in charge on the steering flat review the instructions posted on how to
steer from the flat.
d. Have the person in charge on the steering flat take steering control by switching to local
more on the steering control panel.
e. Remind the person in charge on the steering flat that he will be steering in a Non-Follow-
Up mode. The rudder stops moving and remains in place once the lever is released; it
does not return to amidships when the lever is released.
f. Rudder orders may now be given to the person in charge on the steering flat.
7
CHAPTER 7 PRE- EMERGENCY PLAN:
8/7/01
In the event that one of the steering pumps has failed on the steering flat, the engineer will
attend to the problem. If on the other hand, both pumps have failed and it becomes
necessary to physically move the steering gear by other mechanical means, the following
actions will be taken:
• Immediately take all way off the vessel by placing the throttle handles in the vertical, STOP
ENGINES position or even ASTERN if necessary.
NOTE: On a twin screw vessel, steering can be accomplished by the experienced mariner by a
combination of offset and side forces produced by the two propellers.
• Call engine room and notify the engineer of the situation.
• Notify the Master.
• If in piloting waters, call out an anchor detail and have them stand by on the foredeck until the
situation is remedied.
• Make a Security Call on VHF Channels 13 and 16. Indicate the vessel's position and the
specifics of the situation.
• Display the appropriate signals for “Vessels Not Under Command.”
• Call out individuals to man the steering gear on the steering flat.
a. Establish communications with the steering flat by both VHF radio and sound powered
phone.
b. Have the person in charge on the steering flat verify the gyro heading on the repeater on
the steering flat. Synchronize with the master gyro as necessary.
c. Have the person in charge on the steering flat supervise the rigging of the emergency
steering relieving gear, and have him explain how the gear must be worked in a
coordinated manner between the teams on the starboard and port sides.
d. Rudder orders may now be given to the person in charge on the steering flat. Orders from
the bridge must be given in ample time for their execution inasmuch as the rudders are
being moved manually by the use of chain falls.
